Hopefully you can stay on it now! You have quite a bit of space to work with T. Finished scenery by next week?

T - don't feel guilty about taking time for yourself. Mental health is important, and your overall health will be one less thing to think about when you have to care for others.
Best,
Andrew

Been back " workin' on the railroad " and it does feel pretty good . Wish I had been in the mood a year ago !

Clearly I have to work on my camera settings ...way too washed out pics . I tried editing the brightness and colour on Photobucket but I don't see any change .

Thanks for the tip but my AVG won't let it complete the download and I'm not going to undo my AVG anti virus . I'll give Flickr a try .

It's not necessary to re-size your photos to put them in photobucket: that's done automatically when you upload them.

Yes but I need to resize the pics to get them to post here ! I'll have to see what sizes my camera can be adjusted to ...that may help too .

The pics look great on my screen, not washed out at all T.

If that's the case, contact photobucket, as something's not working the way it should. You do need to re-size photos if you're posting them here as attachments, but those posted from photobucket are acceptable as they are.
A short refresher for those posting from photobucket: find the photo you wish to post and click on it to get an enlarged version, then click on the line of data entitled "img".
This automatically copies the needed data. In your composition window here, simply "paste" it in the place you wish it to appear in your post.
Add more photos as you wish (we love photos), then, when you're ready, click on "Submit".

In the settings is a "Album" section. It has selection "Upload Options"
That leads you to screen to set the default size of photos uploaded.
I use the quite small 640*480 as default. The full quality photos reside on my hard disk to be available if required.
Resulting in postings of this size:

You're right Wayne , the above pic was posted from Photo Bucket without resizing . I haven't posted a pic here for so long I forgot When I first tried to post the first 4 pics , I tried the attachment method .

I'm glad that's been cleared up, and glad, too, that you're "back at it", so we can get to see more of your layout photos.
I had forgotten about the "Upload Options", and just now checked mine: they're set at the recommended 1024x768 size (the picture which I selected had been cropped vertically to eliminate some extraneous stuff, so the image isn't using the full available size).
