Thanks Pete for your kind words . The transgression It seems was this," cTr...Choose the Right", a child's moto, and my sign of, and call to integrity, and all wholesome choices, but it has been deemed political. This was cleared up along time ago on the forum, so I thought. I volunteered not to use it, if the environment was that sensitive at present. There seems to be no right of reply, at least to date any way. The pics yes ! I just can't seem to capture the address, sorry Im not up on the abbreviations.PM? etc.

Oh, man, that is truly "off the wall!"

First, I would assume that most there have political sympathies that could be described as "leaning right."

I always assumed it was an Australian railroad slogan, and never gave it much thought.

And if they are purging political statements, how has "trump train" survived?

In any case, I am a flaming liberal, and am not offended if my friends insist I should move rightward. One of my good buddies aligns with Clarence Thomas, who holds that states should be able to have a state-supported religion. I like him as a person.

Bob, if i use the quote button. That will repost your photo. Hosting it in a yellow frame saying “quote Bob Turner” that is giving you credit.
OGR is annoying when 18 people feel the need to repost a photo and state “ nice locomotive” all that nonsense makes a thread 3 pages long with very little content.

Came up as a Google Drive access on my Kindle but with a password required.

On my computer I get:

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

It might if the url was valid.

Send me the photo; PM it to me.

PM on this board stands for "Private Message", which is pretty much exactly what it means. You can send anyone on this board a "private" message which will only be visible to the sender and recipient.

It is a bit of a cumbersome system, but it works very well.

To copy the photo to MTJ, I followed these instructions from Ahsat:
– Find photo on Google photo
– Bring up image full screen
– Right click (or similar on tablet) on photo and click open image in new tab. This is important as it gives a longer URL for some reason.
– Copy full URL from this new tab
– Use the ‘IMG’ button at the top of the STW text box and copy in URL

Credit for instructions:> https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topi ... le-photos/

Result:

Once you get the hang of it, it is easy.
You can also post a photo on another forum, then pluck the address and stick it in "Img".

To Robert - I can restrict the use of my personal photos any way I like. The reason I was kicked off is that I restricted my photos from being repeated in the same thread, attribution or no. The secondary reason was their 75 patent attorneys told them my photos were not copyright.

Regarding the Ahsat method...
Ahsat noted, "So this is how I finally worked it out (see below this only seems to work using Chrome)."
I tried Ashat's method using Microsoft Edge Web Browser and it worked.
