Ideas for a Team Track

[steinjr]

Thanks for checking, Randy. I’ve always simply copied the “img” tag line in photobucket, then “pasted” it here - The last time must’ve been no more than a day or two before the attempt here, and it worked fine.

I went to the post with the failed pictures and attempted to edit one using the insert image option, but got similar results.

Mmm. I created an album with a space in the album name (Two words) on photobucket and uploaded a test image.

If I in photobucket new interface move the marker over the thumbnail of the image and click on “direct link” - I briefly get a “copied” text on photobucket.

Then I go to the insert media button here (with the film roll) and paste the link. I note that the link pasted contains %20 (ie ascii code decimal 32 - space). Upon clicking OK, the image displays just fine.

If I in Photobucket instead move the marker over “IMG code” and click, I get a brief “copied”.

Then I put my marked wherever I want it in the edit window here and do a paste. BB code is posted here. When I preview or post message, picture shows up just fine.

Doing a quick reply and pasting the BB IMG code into the message also works just fine for me.

Doesn’t look like the forum as such is breaking links containing spaces.

But it could be forum/browser interaction, I guess. I am using a reasonably new version of Firefox as my web browser.

Or it could be that Photobucket had forgotten to convert spaces to %20 when they let you copy the links from their new interface (Photobucket fairly recently changed their user interface).

Anyways, I hope you don’t stop posting, Wayne - yo

Thank you for your very kind words, Stein.

Since the second procedure which you outlined above is exactly the same as the one which I’ve always used, I decided to give it one more try and edited my original post with an additional image. Lo and behold, it worked!

I not too pleased with photobucket’s new format, as it seems rather awkward to use. However, I had no problems using it to post photos elsewhere and that’s why I felt that the problem might lie here.

Another thing a Team Track could be used for is a place for locos to be refueled by an area vendor. All you need is a fuel truck (straight truck, not a semi) that fits your R.R.'s era, spot the engine(s) on the Team Track and place the truck beside them. I drive a fuel truck for a living and have refueled many Union Pacific locos directly from my truck. Just an idea I had for my own layout that I thought I’d share with you.
