Want to post some pics from the 40's and 50's

[sptrainnut]

Good Morning Everyone,

Brand new memeber here and I've got to say this is quite a site. There are some really great pictures that I've been able to view. That being said, when I was little, my dad worked for the SP in the signal maintenance section and ran a speeder to and from his work sites. He also was a professional photographer and took quite a few shots around the El Paso area. I have scanned the prints that I have and would like very much to post some of them here. Would someone please explain how I would go about getting them onto this site, what exactly do I need to do and does this site automatically reduce the size of the file?

Thanks

Hi sptrainnut
Thanks very much for joining the forum!
This uploading info I copied from a post I made earlier.
"The available photo hosting sites I know of are...
ImageShack....
www.imageshack.us/
PhotoBucket....
photobucket.com/
and
www.trainboard.com/railimages/

Now posting pics from RailImages, you use the "BB Code".
ImageShack use "Full Size Forums" code
PhotoBucket use "IMG Code"

Posting photos from most hosting sites use the "Forum code" or "Image code". Code should start with "IMG"."

Photo's will not automatically reduce size. I recommend using "IrfanView" to resize photos, they are at.....
www.irfanview.com/

I hope this info helps out.
Thom
