Edit: Somebody, let me know if you're able to access the photo. I linked to my facebook page.
It looks good to me.
Placing your link between BB Code img tags will show the image in your post.

If you can see it when you hit the "preview" button, then everyone will see it when you hit "post" :-)
Thanks everybody, now if I can only remember how I did it, I'll have to take some
new pictures.
Hunt: I'm not sure what "BB code img tags" are, much less how to insert them.
I'll keep at it though.
Thanks again everybody for your responses.

It dead simple, it's not rocket science. ;-)
Upload you photos to Photobucket.
Once they are uploaded, you will see underneath them in the small image or beside them in the large image various windows with several options.
One of which reads "IMG". You LEFT click on that and it turns yellow and reads "copied".
You then go to your Bachmann post and where you want the image to be, you right click and select "Paste", the URL is then pasted into your Bachman post.
To see if the image is the one you wanted to post, click on "preview" in the box below all Bachmann posts. If you see an image, then everyone else will see an image.
Like this one: -

To add further text or photos following your photo, just go down to the lower window, where you see your original text and the URL and just add more text and or another photo.
Once you are happy, click on "Spell Check" to check your spelling (which we should all do for every post we make) and once that's corrected, hit "Post".
Dead easy. An idiot could do it, which I've just proved.

Ken,The Code in the box I provided in my above reply uses the link to your photo (image) hosted by Facebook and
shows the format and placement of BB Code Image Tags required to display that image on the Bachmann website.
I will break the code down for you.
The link to the photo (image) in your Facebook account.

I enclosed the code in the
Code: box so you can see the what is used to display the image.

Recap --
Type the image tags around your link or Click on image (http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/Themes/bachmann/images/bbc/img.gif) icon (see on second line of
Add BBC tags: ). This will add just the tags. You then add the link to the image between them.
If you enter the photo link and highlight it then clicking on the image icon it will place the tags where they should be.
If you upload your photo to Photobucket, following what rogertra provided adds the img tags for you.
