PS: It seems the forum won't let me put photos here. I needed to use flickr.

I use flickr too. You can upload the pictures to flickr and then include them in your post by sharing.

When I upload my photos, I give them attribution "Creative Commons" instead of "all rights reserved" (I don't make money of my photograhy, so I generally don't mind others using them as long as I am credited.) This will allow you to share the photo. (I don't know if this is actually nesecary.)

In flickr you then push the "Share this photo"-icon. (you have to be signed in.) Then you select BBCode. Then choose the appropriate size. Then select the weird code below and copy it. Generally the photo should be just large enough to see what is going on. Don't select a large size, it makes the post very long. If someone wants to see a larger version, they can click on the photo and watch a full screen version of it on flickr.

When you make a new post (not a quick reply), you have two tabs on the bottom left, "Preview" and "BBCode". Push "BBCode". Paste the weird code where you want the photo. Push "Preview" again. Now you should see the photo.

I love what you are doing here with the story/picture collaboration, lebaron! I have to know what you are using to fill out your trees? In the very first pic that tree looks brilliant, and I am currently working on just that for an outdoor encounter.

I simply used dollar store flocking that I cut in smaller pieces with scissors. Used white glue all over the branches, put the flocking in, waited for it to dry, put some more white glue where there were holes and repeat the process. There is always some flocking that still falls on the table but I think it is great as it makes the board more realistic.

Thank you so much DM Michael! I will try it right now with this post.

Thanks again DMMichael! Now I would need to know how to tag people while posting a reply.

PS: Are the photos big enough?

I'd say the photos are the right size. Not too small. Not too big.

I am not sure what you mean by tagging people. Is it the "Insert User Link"-button? I just use the quote button and delete the irrelevant parts.

DM Michael like this I guess. Found it thank you.
