    When I look for my albums in Rail images they aren't there (except for one with one picture), but when I create a post I can see all my photos on the bottom under media. Under media I can't find them. Would you tell me how to find them?
    Thank you
    Clint

    I did a search on RI and came up with ten pages of individual photos. But could not find any easy way to locate or view in albums. :(

    I "discovered" our Railimages section last night and established an Album I think, but I can't get my test upload image to appear. The image is 1500 x 994 Pixels and the file size is 468KB, so should work fine. The upload appears to work, but there's nothing in my Album. Does someone know where I'm likely screwing up? Thank you.

    I do see an empty album. Can you describe the steps taken to make your upload?

    After you select the image, that photo should quickly appear in your album. (On the uploading page you are viewing.) Then, down below everything is a "Save" button, which must be clicked. Otherwise, if you leave the page, the process is not completed.

    These are the steps I take to upload, to an existing album:

    On the RailImages page=

    Select "Your Albums";

    Click "Add Media";

    Choose album;

    Scroll down to "Upload Type" (From a file on your computer or a URL);

    Image source selected and clicked Open or OK;

    A thumbnail shows next to the "Description" box;

    Add any description text (optional step);

    Scroll down and click "Save Media" button. Done.
