Posting BMPs to Trainboard

[friscobob]

I've got an E-pass and artist's rendition of my railroad's paint scheme that I'd like to post on Trainboard, but I'm not sure how to do it. Any suggestions?

There is an "help" page. When you decided to upload an image (or e.g. URL link), then you click on "Post Reply" to get the input form.
Then, click on "*UBB Code is ON" to the left of the input field. There the help pops up!
You will find descriptions how to do for image, URL´s and other funny things.

The problem is Bob has a BMP file while is very large and should be converted to JPG format. If you do not have the software to do it, you need help http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

I have no problems its for people that have no computer knowledge and are worried about stuffing things up..

also yes a BMP would be huge and take ages to load...

If you dont have software to edit the images with try http://fosi.ural.net/ ad get photoshop

this will open it and you only have to SAVE AS and change the image to JPG or GIF..
