EDIT: Sorry folks, the new "improved" Google Photos stinks on ice! It is the antithesis of user friendly and the links it gave me didn't work, I really miss my old Picasa account. Mods, please feel free to delete this thread. Confused

I decided that after buying Trackmaster and Plarail engines and rolling stock for my son the past two years or so, it was time for a few of my own.

Try just copying the Google Link and pasting it in your Post. Don't use the Image button. Another option is if you are using a computer you can just attach a photo from it right into your Post without the third party host.

Thanks for the advice guys! I'm supposed to be an old hat at this sort of thing (used to mod/admin a few boards with similar formats, in fact) but times have changed! The problem seems to be format issue with the URLs Google Photos generates and possibly album privacy settings. Anyway....

I will try to directly upload the photos when I get back to my PC.

Hurry, can't wait to see your photos. What site were you part of before OTR?

Oh wow, that's a nearly 20 history of mostly defunct message boards and services! For example, anybody here remember the old EZ Board system?
I was on a lot of boards related to GI Joe collecting and scale modeling, a few related to miniature gaming and a couple social-political satire sites. I also did a fair amount of blogging, first at Live Journal then at Blogger, mostly on the same subjects.

Oh, Wow, the old days. I remember back then with Bullentin Boards and the Chat Rooms on MSN.
