Hi everyone, my name is John Dickerson, I live in NW Ohio and have a small 3 rail tubular layout, i will post pictures when I figure out how to do it, it is a mix of o27 & o guage track

I started with a ho set and started on a old ping pong table, took a break for about 40 years, found o27 track at the local flea markets, and a train guy in Marion name Jay more later

I seem to have lost the first post, my name is John Dickerson and I am new to this forum, never have belonged to any type of train group.

Just keep posting after ten, you can upload using manage attachments. Otherwise the spambot will get you.

Okay I'm sorry but what do you mean by after ten, and where is "manage attachments" sorry I am really new to this smart phone and computers, thanks

You have to post ten times in the forum, Keep asking questions.

 

[Old3rail]

Awesome thanks, 7 down 3 to go. Do know how to post pictures?

 

[T-Man]

You cannot be in "quick reply" but "advanced". Look for this.

You need a box "additional options" click "manage attachments."

You may not see it now. keep posting,

Welcome to the forum.

Once you get 10 posts, try this (get the 10)

1,When your typing your thread, look up top & click on the paper clip.

2,That opens a box then click browse.

3,That will open another box find your picture where ever it is in your computer. (say downloads,camera,files wherever your picture is.)
When you find the picture click on it then click open, it will then be in your box where you clicked browse.

4, Then click upload, wait to make sure it uploads. Then minimize that upload box.

5, After it uploads go back to your post box where you are typing and click the paper clip again and click insert attachments.
(if you forget to go back your pictures will just show as a clickable link instead of a picture in the post. Go back and click the paper clip again after you upload and click insert all or if you only have one picture click on the link there a second time.)
Note, if the picture won't upload most likely it is too big.

Your picture should be in the thread.


Go in advanced mode when you post, if you can't see the paper clip I am talking about let me know you will have to change something in your CP an easy fix.

If you need any help here don't be afraid to ask.

If you post a picture before ten posts The post will not show up and be held for moderation.
