How to have big photos instead of miniatures?
you have probably linked the thumbnails not the actual pictures, or you are trying to post pictures that are too large, keep a dimension of 800 pixels horizontally maximum.

Take a look at this thread. It offers several methods for posting pictures. If you have additional questions just ask.

I think the method you used in your 7/8’s loco thread points to LSC Photo Albums and will only display a thumbnail until you click on the photo. If you upload your photos to a freight shed (free or paid) or some other web storage you can directly link the photos.
Regarding size - LSC will shrink large photos to 800 pixels wide. I upload at 1024 pixels wide and the software automatically down-sizes them, but if you use the browser’s view image function you can see the full-size image. I would suggest downsizing photos to no more than 1600 pixels wide and be sure to use JPeg compression for a small file size so your pictures will load quickly.

I used the link location of your thumbnail to insert a full size photo here…
I managed to post a photo since my freight shed, but she has already lost me half while I have more than 5000 photos on a hard disk!! It is the only forum where I have so much evil has to post a photo, the formula is not simple
Yes, it is difficult until you get used to it. If one photo has used half of your free 5MB space, then you need to re-size and compress your photos for web use so the file size ends up around 50-100K.
I wrote a tutorial on it that is meant to help.

Many of us have had the same trouble trust me. All of a sudden you will figure it out and then it seems easy.
Thank Devon, i am save
Is there a space limit on Albums per user like the Freight Shed?
I just tried the Albums feature and it works great.
Dennis I believe that there is a limit, but I do not know what it is.
There is a limit as to the total bytes of pictures in the file. Ran in to that one a while and had to delete some old pictures also try to make your pictures into small size files.

One thing many people do not realize is that you can vary the “physical” size of a picture in the number of pixels, but resizing does not always get the file “storage” size to the desired amount (usually smaller).
Using a better graphics program will let you allow the jpg compression to be increased making the file size smaller.
