Oh, your picture(s) probably were over the limited 128KB per picture, and if it was online, you can just click on Image, and post the URL to it between the [-]and the[/-].           
                                                           
A URL for the photo isn't this:
http://www.swphq.com/latest.htm
It's is if you click on the photo, and it is allone like this:
http://www.swphq.com/latest.htm >this is the URL you want, use the step above to result in this:

I tried,  it failed... It wont even allow me to post a  lousy link for some reason.  ???
It isn't worth my time and trouble to pursue the issue .
Thanks anyway.

Some groups only allow links of photos to be uploaded. You cannot upload the photo directly from your computer to these forums. You need to use a Photo editing service.
I and some others use Photo Bucket. http://photobucket.com/
Get an account.
After logging in, select the album name you would like to use. You can have different albums.
Upload your photos to the albums. When the uploads are complete, select your photo by clicking on the fourth item under the photo which is IMG CODE. Once it is highlighted, right click and Copy. With a second browser opened and at the Bachmann forums, click the cursor in the message, right click Paste.
You can do this with videos also. You can upload videos also.
It takes a couple tries to get it right for some people but it works quite well. Read, you need to have patitience.
At least this is the way I do it.

Here's a picture of two K-27s taken last Tuesday while operating on the PT&GB RR in Richmond.

As long as you have a site to host your pictures posting here at the Bachmann site is rather easy.
