p.1 #2 · Posting first image on FM - how about a train shot?
Well, you posted a link, so if that was your desire, you succeeded...
But I'd bet if you want to share and get more comments, you should put in the B&W board here as a wider audience will see it, and appreciate the image you have.
Also, if you haven’t figure it out yet, to share a photo on FM (and, as the previous poster suggested, this one doesn’t really go in this forum), just paste in the full URL of the photograph of the image posted on your website, making sure that it ends with “.jpg”… Unfortunately, the site where that photo is posted uses a different from of the UTL that lacks the “.jpg” at the end, so unless there is a way around that you are going to need a different solution.
You can also get an upload account here, and there’s a pretty easy way to post from Flickr if you have an account there.)
Few people are going to click through on a link to see a photo posted elsewhere.

Thanks - couldn't get it to work via my website, but was able to upload to Flickr and use the BBCode. Thanks!

That Flickr upload option is really very useful. I used to share images posted on my own two websites, but it turns out that it is simpler for me to use the Flickr option nowadays.
One thing worth noting, to avoid the odd formatting that occurs with the default BBCode, make sure you hit the enter key between the first close URL tag and the rest of the text.
[/url] {hit enter key after the first occurance close tag after you paste the BBCode into the new post.}

That is a great point, and I do that, too. :-)
(I also delete the part that makes my name appearance that is already seen on FM. But newbies can ignore that!)
