Dear Mario and Bice,
Nice layout but couldn't find the video - only 1 picture. Why nickel mining by "Nickelminers". Did you have some connection?
I am in South Africa, model HO (Fleischmann/Uhlenbrock) and spent 40 years working in the mining industry based in South Africa, South America and the UK. I have had a close association with nickel mining (South Africa, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Australia and Canada) as well as gold, uranium, copper, zinc, lead, mineral sands, etc, etc and therefore wpould be very interested to see more of your layout.
The method I use to upload photographs is when you start a post or add a reply to an existing post, 3 text boxes appear at the lower bottom right had side of the screen. I press "Browse"and then go to the hard drive of my PC where I store photographs. I select the image I want, select open and then press "Upload"on the original post screen. The picture then is listed in the box above the first 3 boxes with options for placing it in the text of the post.
It is important to re-size the original photos to the correct size (pixels) on your hard drive before uploading. I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to compress to "Document" size which seems to work well for the Model Rail Forum - the picture is normally compressed to about 120kb and I save them in a seperate file on the hard drive for posting. This works well for me which I figured out by lengthy trial and error. I am sure there are quicker and more efficient ways and hopefully somone else will be along to advise you. Try the Google custom search at the top right of the Forum page.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Regards,
Peter Smith
