How do you post photos here on Large Scale Central? According to this that is on the Gallery page " Members get a 5 megabyte free “My Files” area to upload forum and chat pictures to. " Where is this My Files located? I have searched all over and could not find it. I would like to post some photos of my Cumbres Station under construction as I am close to having it completed so I can use it on my Xmas layout.

Ahhh Never Mind, I just found it. Looks like it only comes up when you post a new subject.

Dan,

if you got your pics somewhere on the net already, just copy the pic’s URL and paste it into your post.

this forum is very userfriendly.

Indeed!

Exactly why I am here.

If you use Photobucket you can click on the “IMG” tag and it automatically copies the link in a “forum friendly” size.

I was wondering why some posts had the {img] tags (bracket changed to avoid detection) and others don’t. I went back to my thread and took out the img and lo, it still works.

Nope, don’t need the image tags, they’re inserted automatically…freakin magic, ain’t it?..:wink:

There are exceptions to every rule. I found when posting a .bmp image I did need the image tags.

Paul - That’s true for all image types other than .JPG.

Dan - When you are posting look directly below the test input box for the My Files link. Looking forward to your photos.

Bruce Chandler’s excellent tutorial on posting pictures with Windows.
