Posting photosHow do you
Posted by HHPATH56 on Monday, March 9, 2009 2:29 PM

 How do you Post a photo ?

"How do you Post a photo?  Either digital camera (or scanner) photos must first be downloaded onto a Host. I use Photobucket.com, for my "Railroad Album" photos. Name the Album that you wish to use for all your model railroad photos.  When the "Titled" photos" are downloaded as a sequential set, you will see that below each photo, there are four Options. The bottom option is usually labeled IMG, with brackets around it. (Incidentally, don't ever put the brackets around the IMG in any correspondence, or you will have "trouble".)    Select the photo that you wish to transfer to Trains.com, Forums, and click on the IMG below the photo.  It may "momentarily" say "Copied. Or,( "recently, for some reason") you click on the little square below the photo, then click on the rectangle to the right. and it turns  blue. Then go to "Edit" above, and click on "Copy". Now, go back to Trains Forum and either start your own Thread, or click on Reply.  You can then enter any "editable" text that you wish. Click on Enter to move the cursor down. Click on "ctrlV" and the lengthy code for your photo will appear. After you have checked for "typos", you click on Post.  Soon, your text and small version of the photo will appear, at the end" of the string of other modelers posted texts.  You can enlarge any photo by clicking on it. Next to the enlarged photo may appear three other small photos from your Photobucket MR Album.  Click on the right photo, and proceed through all the photos in the Album. If you enlarge any photo, you click on the X on the Work Line, to return to the Forum Thread.   You can always Edit the text of a Posted Reply, Likewise, you can delete any "ugh"! duplicate posted photo by backspacing over the photo "code".   Nuff said!
