Posting test photo

Here is my test. Clouds at my club.

OK, I have to try posting also.

 

 

First photo attempt with our three unit GM&O engines. I'm looking for a powered A or B unit to run with our non-powered Atlas F3. Until then, the trusty RS3's will have to suffice.

Lets see if we can do this with text.... So easy a caveman can do it with his fingers crossed. 844 in Oroville Ca. 2009

I spoke to soon!

I'll give it a go with a video

 

First off, when I reply to the post above, the "Post Reply" window shows up underneath Jeffrey's video.  That makes no sense.




Second, the picture I've attached from photobucket was automatically resized down to this stupid tiny image size to fit this stupid narrow forum.  And since it gives you NO option to zoom to view the original image, everyone looses out.  It's like you guys are forcing us to attach our images to your site.

No good.

Here is one more photo test...VL Hudson and the new "Postwar" F3. So far, posting pics seems pretty straight-forward and easy.  -Len

Jeffrey,

The video played just fine and I like the fact that you can now click and have it play full screen.

Cool... very easy... let me try that again!

Pete, can't get the stuff here anyway.  This is going to be my logo for future custom "beer" reefers and an operating beer car made from a Lionel operating milk car.

It disappeared, I'll try again.

OK, Me too.

Give me a break. We're not "forcing" you to do anything. If you want to just link to images posted elsewhere, be my guest. You won't get all the new features available here, but you can do it the old way if you wish.

 

Because you only LINKED to your image at Photobucket instead of ATTACHING an image directly from your computer and uploading it here, you only get the sized-down image from Photobucket set to fit the screen. If you look at literally every other photo post in this thread, where people have followed the procedure and done it properly, they have an icon available in their posts that when clicked, displays the image FULL SIZE. Your post does not have that icon because you only linked to an image somewhere else instead of uploading it here.

 

If you want to use all the new features available in this forum, then you have to do things in a new way. Doing it the old way, as you have done, yields the old results.

 

As for the reply showing under the video screen, that is a browser issue on your computer. Time to upgrade your browser.

Test photo to eliminate the thumbnail.

my turn...

Jay Jay and AR 75, I don't know what you guys were trying to do, but whatever you did it didn't work.

 

Why would you want to eliminate the thumbnail? That is the link to open the picture AT FULL SIZE when you post.

Hmm, lets try again.

 

If this were an actual emergency you would have been in trouble. this is only a test!

test 2

i'm trying a photo...but the whole forum seems to run really slow on my computer here at work

 

At my annual train party that I host for my family I hired and Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus this year - what a hoot!!!!!!!

 

that's me asking for 3 ()^)^) women!

Oh baby I'm gonna like the new forum!  It is terrifico!

Woe-kay...Didn't know that.

I wanted to try one that would have been too big on the old forum.  I want to test the 'resizing' feature.  I was only 172KB but still would have been too big.

 

 

Can you post a video easy like you do the photo's?  If so how do you get it embeded?  Or do we have to upload it from Youtube like always.

Steve

Let me see if this works.

 

Ok, easy enough !

This is much easier, now!!! I like the new features. I'm glad I can post photos of my high-rail/retro layout!

Good luck with the new forum!

I will stop clicking around and ask.....where is the photo posting tutorial??

 

This is absurd.  The proper procedure should NEVER be to upload your images directly to a given forum.  It's a fine feature that makes it simple for those that are not tech savvy.  But its' all but useless for those of us who frequent many different forums, and maintain large personal photo libraries.  This has been an internet standard since....well....forever.

 

BTW: Photobucket is not narrowing my image, the size of the post column is.  Until you guys widen this silly post column, all linked images are going to be like this.

The Armadillo is awesome !

I'll give it a try

Bill, can you explain for me in detailed, step by step how you did your youtube upload?  Please explain and I will try again.  I must have lost something in my embed upload.

 

Thank you

TEX

My video failed but I had to try a pic.
