If I understand you correctly, you can upload to an album, and link from there.

Thanks Eddie, I think I tried that but it didnt accept the album url - is it just a straight copy and paste or do I need to delete some of the bits at the end?

Its a rubbish photo taken from our worksite but was intrested in uploading, it may interest someone 🙂 however not sure you can set up new topics from galleries and walkarounds anyway?

i believe you can not link albums directly to topics. you can link an album to a project, that is linked to a topic.

I wanted to add a photo as a walkaround /gallery - I am sure you use to be able to do it so these photos could be seen when you went review a topic page I thought the contribute page alluded to the fact that you still can via an album page but I think I may have misunderstood the wording. All this does is make it show up in newsfeed.

I am sure in the past people would upload their visits to dockyards, museums etc. Maybe Tim has to stop this for some reason.

Warning: Do not use this feature to add links to sites like Photobucket/Forums/Photo sharing sites... This feature is only for full blown articles on modeling magazines like Hyperscale, ARC,... . If you want to add individual pictures you can do that by uploading pictures in the "Photoalbum" section. In case of any doubt, a ask if it is ok. If your site is not yet included, give a short message to the webmaster and he will do some preparation work.

(external) Gallery articles = Built models only
(external) Walkarounds = Real stuff in 1:1

So adding Walkarounds to the Gallery section = no go

if you want to add items to the walkaround section:

There are dozens of walkarounds sites where you can submit pictures. Linking relevant walkarounds on external sites is 100% the aim.

=> A hug amount of traffic for people coming in, downloading GB's of data and go away again.

Scalemates is not going in that direction or trying to compete.

If you do have a photoalbum with some of your own reference pictures linked to a project that is fine (not pushed, but Ok if you keep it reasonable)
