Demonstrating my Railroad Photography On-Line
Posted by passrailenthu on Thursday, October 17, 2019 7:52 PM

Hello Sir,

   My name is John Levai and I love taking photographs of trains. I have had numerous photos published in Railpace. In addition, I have many pictures on various internet sites including trainorders.com, railpictures.net, and rrpicturearchives.net.

    I would love to submit my work to Trains magazine whenever possible. I also want to post my pictures the online site of Trains Magazine. Where can I find instructions on how to upload pictures to the website? Thanks so much.

  John

Multiple threads here on precisely how to do that in different ways.

The image for posting needs to have its own URL, for example hosted on a 'pictures' site that does not involve a special control or 'permissions' to access the image via a https:// tag.

Save the image URL to your clipboard.  Open the little 'image' tool, in the lower menu bar above the post text window, next to the little 'chain' for pasting the URL directly into a post.  Then paste the image URL into the fields of the window that opens.  This will generate the BBcode necessary to have the image appear inline in your post.

If you don't like to have your images 'hotlinked', either use the chain tool to paste the URL (this will make it 'clickable' on demand but not serve a copy of it directly any time the thread or post is loaded) or use the [url] tags with descriptive text between them to put it inline in text without exposing the gibberish that can be involved in long site URLs.

There are more detailed 'tutorials' on using this stuff if you need them; some bright souls here might provide exact thread and post references -- but be advised you may have to cut and paste them; Kalmbach doesn't always like allowing clickable links to its own past post pages.
