Hello all I have a large # of rolling stock (freight & passenger) to sell on the forum. I have seen items for sale displayed in different formats. I believe the clearest I have seen is in column form with the description below or above each item. I don't seem to be able to get mine to show in that way. Help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thanx Jim R.

Jim, if I understand your question, the answer is that it would be done in just the same way as any "reply" with "attachments". Just type your text where you want it with respect to each photo. If this does not help your problem, maybe putting the question under the Tech Help Forum would elicit the answer.
If I understand correctly, you are having a hard time getting the text between the photos, caption style. I do this all the time, but it takes a little extra effort. You need to add a couple blank lines between the photos. After you've loaded your pics, hit the "toggle wysiwyg" in the lower right. This will show the code. Each photo ends </a>. Hit enter a couple times after each, then toggle back. Now your cursor will get between the photos.

Thanks for the info as I've been having trouble with that as well. James
Well one possibility is to format it on your computer using word or excel or something to look like you want. Then "screenshot" the screen by pressing the PrtScn button or some other way, and paste it into Microsoft Paint. Then Save it as a picture and post that picture to the forum.
In this way you are posting one picture and not many while trying to line up the text!
I had luck putting a list in Excel and then copying the cells into the Forum posting. One trick I learned is to make the cells a little wider than necessary in Excel so the text doesn't wrap in the forum.
Once you upload the photos, you can put spaces into them in WYSIWYG mode very easily.
Here's a demo. I've inserted these three pictures in a column with no spaces. I then click to the right of each picture and hit Enter a couple of times.
Now I can insert text between each picture.
