Trying the new format, want to see how stuff posts. I do not like the new format for reading, pictures appear smaller than before.
Pic of a Northern Pacific Z-8, previously posted.
Posting embedded videos is NOT as easy as before, now I need to know the format of the video. Haven't yet figured out how to post from Youtube, which is where I post all my stuff. Maybe there is a tutorial all ready on this site that tells me how to do this.

So, looking at the picture above, for me at least, it is distorted.

If you just LINK to a photo hosted elsewhere, it will get resized down to fit this forum and that's it. You have no options for viewing the full-sized image.
However, if you ATTACH a file FROM YOUR OWN COMPUTER, it will upload here, resize to fit the screen plus you can click on the image to display it FULL SIZE.
Click on this image and see what happens.
It is so much easier to just upload images from your computer than it is to link to photos elsewhere. And you get all the new bells and whistles if you use this new feature.
Restarted the machine. Let's see what we get now...
Ahhh.. that's better!
Next, we'll try a video!
There ya go, Rich! You've got it figured out now!
Hey Richtrow let me know if you get the video to work I can't get my mac to get there and same operating system as you.

OK, good point, but if I do want to upload a photo, shouldn't it display properly on the screen. The photo I uploaded shows up just fine on my 20" monitor at home, but displays distorted on my laptop with 14" screen.

I have found if you right click on the photos they will load at full size in another tab on my browser. Videos are a cinch... pop in the embed code upon opening the "movie film" icon.

I have had some conflicts with my Firefox Browser.. sometimes this edit window will corrupt and I can't type or paste etc...

Wow, feedback is always good. Nice touch!
"Unfortunately, we could not process the video that you recently uploaded. Here are the details:
Video Name:WGH Test Clip.mp4
Please note that we only support the following video formats: .mp4, .mov, . flv, and .avi. Sometimes, even for videos in our supported formats, there are encoding issues that we simply cannot resolve.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We suggest trying to re-encode your video using our recommended format (MP4 using H.264 encoding, with AAC audio) prior to re-uploading the video on O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum.
Sincerely,
O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum"
Now, the clip I was uploading met these requirements, but was labeled an "m4v" which is still technically an "mp4" with H.264 encoding. I might see if I can simply change the type and upload again.
Let's see if the FLV i just made worked any better...
- RICH
Well, I received another friendly e-mail, so I guess the FLV didn't work either. Time to see if I can do this via YouYube
Ok... so now where's the photo I posted earlier? It's gone. Nothing but a little box with an X in it.
What gives?
- RICH
I still like posting photos through Photo Bucket. Faster too. BF
Jerry, your video is "5-bye" crystal clear. 
Rich, with you I get nuttin'.
