First attempt at uploading screenshots.Which didn't work, back to the drawing board. .Back after I get this sussed out! I think I have to resize, as some shots are over 100k, where might I find the info to do this?

Paul, try to get IrfanView at http://www.irfanview.com/It does almost everything you need to convert/resize/etc pics. And it's free!Cheers, Björn

Thanks Bjorn, I do have Infranview and am able to produce screenshots, and am able to resize,etc.But still have not been able to attach to my posts. Coincidently, I wanted to post a series of shots detailing a situation on the Full Bucket Line, involving a three-way meet that never used to happen before. It takes place in the Hot Shot Intermodal act., from the UPactpk,by LHW. I was hoping to find out if anyone else gets the same thing, and if so,what else is suddenly "new" in FBL.(Hard drive and Ram replaced last week, and had to re-install XP, MSTS, and everything else). Thanks for your efforts, am enjoying FBLv1 and V2 daily.

OK, haven't found out how to convert from BMP to Jpeg, and need to find out how to get the image size to 100k or less. Went through the help file but no luck. Going thru again.

> need to find out how to get the image size to 100k or less.Paul,First thing when you "Save as" in IrfanView is to reduce the quality of the output JPG ("Save as"-->"Options"-->"Save Quality"). Values from 80 down to 60 usually are fine.Next thing is to reduce the size of the image (CTRL+R keys) and cropping (select an image region with the mouse and press CTRL+Y).Hope this helps & cheers,
Bjoern
