It is really a simple procedure to post photos but most are apprehensive to try it. Good job.

and now for an undocumented photo technique.

When the photos are large in format as you have posted, it is often good to use thumbnail images that can be clicked on to reveal the full size photos... but this is a tricky edit.

Once you have created the post the way you want it to read, you may edit it ONCE and ONCE only to replace the photos with thumnails...

The not so secret method involves replacing the UBB codes for displaying a photo "img" in between these brackets [] that precede and follow each photo URL... with the word "thumb"

One you hit the Post Reply button, the server will automatically insert thumbnails for your photos... but if you made a mistake, and need to go back in and fix it you will find that the UBB code syntax now looks like a nightmare and if you re-edit it, you will turn your post into garbage...

Here is an example of the thumbnail technique used with one of your photos. Click on the thumbnail image to see the full size graphic.
