Hello,
I just tried to upload new pictures, but I always get the message
'your graphic is too wide etc.'
but the images are wide below the limit of 3.072kb (ca. 300 -500kb)??

This issue has been highlighted to the publisher and I hope he or I will get back to you shortly.

This issue has been tackled, but keep the file size down to avoid further issues.

Hi is it only subscribers that get the photo button on top of the page? I am not a subscriber and have not got a photo button.If only subscribers get this option how can I post pics? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Kenneth,
Things have changed slightly since this thread was started, but everyone can add photos. Subscribers have a larger storage limit, but otherwise anyone can use the gallery. Instead of PHOTOS, the link is now labeled GALLERY. You should see it above.
Just click the GALLERY link on the menu bar above and then look for the MY PHOTOS link in the upper left. You can save photos and set up albums there. After that, it's just a matter of following the process outlined in this thread for adding photos to your forum posts.
Hope this helps!

I attempted to post as per the above instructions, however, on my new computer(windows version 10,000 or whatever)when I right click on the photo all I get is copy, share or ask Cortana, no properties. I attempted to manually copy the image location and it posted a link(no photo). I also tried the linked image icon to the right of image location and only got a tiny picture. My photos are within the 800x600 pixel parameters and below the maximum Kb size, so I am at a loss. This the first time in a few years that I have posted here and the first time with this brand new computer. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Man, sorry it is still being cranky.
I wrote this for someone a few months ago. I recall it led them down the path to success:
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://gallery3.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://gallery3.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.

Michael your attempt was basically correct except that you copied the location at the top of the page rather than under the image.

Ivan,
Great-looking turret on your Sherman. It definitely has the look of a true-to-life steel casting. Were the numbers on the turret already engraved on it, or are they something you added?
