“Steve, you’re not a pirate.” 😑

Hi John,

Glad to see you back.

I posted this over at RailRoad Modeling a while back. Hope it helps:

Hi All,

I am exploring how to explain adding photos to our forum posts easily.

This image is in my gallery as a small thumbnail. I clicked on it and it enlarged.

First, I copied the URL directly from Linked Thumbnail and pasted it and it made this small thumbnail:


Second, to the right of that link box is an icon that looks like a picture frame with a paperclip. Click it and it brings up two URLs:

1. HTML code

2. Direct link

If you copy the URL directly out of HTML code it looks like this:

Direct link looks like this (italics added): /data/500/OKC_RR_Museum_2_8_0_14_1000x708_.jpg

I don't know why it does not show the entire URL string: http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/OKC_RR_Museum_2_8_0_14_1000x708_.jpg

Regardless, it does not have the string ends '[img ]' and '[/img]' (do not have any space between the brackets and 'img'), thus it will only display as a line of code. Bracketing that code with '[img ]' and '[/img]' looks like this:

A slightly quicker way is simply to right-click the full-size image and Copy Image Location. That makes a hot link of the proceeding URL http://gallery.kitmaker.net/data/500/OKC_RR_Museum_2_8_0_14_1000x708_.jpg. You just have to click the '[img]' button at far right below the post page text box, and insert the URL string.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the nice welcome back.I have really been busy with my museum commissions.I recently stopped doing that because at 77 there are few other things that I want to do and I needed a change anyway, so I took up piracy. My problem is that I have always taken large pics and will have reduce them in size first.I think that I recall how to do it.Cheers ! John.Stand by one! or two, or three.

Here's a link to that photo.

I think that I have found a better way for me to post pics here.

Just to add illustrations to JPTRR's instructions above.


First, click on the little icon to the right of the Linked Thumbnail code.



Second, copy and paste the HTML code into your post.

edit: above post fixed.

Hey John,

Better jump ship from Photobucket before your images get held hostage ... just sayin.'

Hi ! I guess that I am unable to figure it out.I am no computer whiz and at 77 I get confused easily so I have decided just to upload my pics to my gallery and post the text here.
The latest pics are of the second row of gunports at the stern.These I carved in with an exacto #11 blade.

I posted some for you





Cheers

Thank you Robbie Cheers! John.

I have uploaded some new pics to my Gallery, matching up the colors of the hull sections.
