Very briefly, you register, for free, with another site that will act as a host (repository) for your photos, such as www.railimages.com. Once you have been accepted by them and are able to upload you pix, you can then paste them here by copying the individual photos' URLs (right click on the photo, 'properties', then hi-lite the URL, and go up to the top of the page and click on 'edit' and then copy. Minimize the railimages site, open a post here, and go up to the top of the page and click 'edit' and 'paste'. Then type a { followed by "img" immediateley in front of the URL, followed by a }. At the right of the URL, type {, then a /, then 'img' and then }. That will tell the Trains server to go get that picture and post it where you just did all that typing.

There is an easier way. When you post or reply to a new topic there is a button you canclick that will give you the [ img ] [ /img ] . all you have to do is paste the URL as described above in between the two [img] thingies.
