Linking Photos in Descriptions
Hello all!
Another amateur question:
If I wanted to link to another one of my photos in a different photo's description, how would I go about doing that? For instance, I would say something like, "To see this view from a different angle, click here." The click here part would be the link. I tried the "photo id=??????" but that did not work.
Thank you for you responses. 
God bless,
Jake

HTML code is what you need.
[a href="http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=XXXXXX"]CLICK HERE[/a]
Replace [ and ] by < and >.
Officially, it's against the rules, but everyone does it.

I think it is OK to do as long as your link stays within RP, isn't it? Linking to outside sources like Flickr, etc. is the no-no. But you are right, everyone does that too.

One of the great things about RP is that patrons can and do link in my opinion - I've always said RP is more then just photos and the links often allow a better interpretation of the subject and provides a lot of added value to the viewer. I personally like and endorse linking to sites that supplement the history of a subject, timelines, sponsoring groups and charities.
Anyway - if you're going to link, add target="_blank" which will open your link in a separate page vs replacing the current page and making viewers work their way back.
This will open a page to the "Grand Canyon Steam Page".
Replace the ** with < at the start and the ~~ with > at the end.
**A HREF="http://www.thetrain.com/grand-canyon-railway-steam-7275.html" target="_blank"~~**u~~Grand Canyon Steam Page**/u~~**/A~~

Correction:
Replace the ** with < everywhere and the ~~ with > everywhere.
The confusion arises because in Mitch's HTML string he also includes code to place an underline beneath "Grand Canyon Steam Page", and that part of the code also uses < and >. Also, the initial HTML "A" command has to be closed right after _blank".

Why not type it out as it should look, screen cap it, and then post the pic in your reply?

I can never remember the code, so if I want to add a link in a new photo that I'm uploading, I have to go to one of my old pics, go into edit mode and then copy and paste the code. From there I just change the wording of the link to make it relevant to my current pic.

I do the same, Jim. Just no room for that code in my head, I guess!

A photo from the database?
[Photoid=XXXXXX] where XXXXXX is the image number.

You should add "Philadelphia" to that list. A one-word caption, and you still get it wrong? Did Pete type it for you?

especially if you have this problem:
RP has me limited to one upload per day. If you would like to see more please visit my Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/adickson87/

Wow. I thought that guy always put decent stuff on here.
Perhaps it's a sales tool to upgrade to RPElite?

Perhaps, but that has to be a failed marketing strategy

Quite poor to this point at elevations you'll find trains at (minus Cass). you'll need to 'enhance' the colors in photoshop

I am sure that will change within a few days to a week or so. Especially if you all got the cold front that came through Atlanta yesterday. It was a 30+ degree swing overnight.

Assassinations or photos?
If photos - what, where and for whom? We "just shoot for fun" photographers are always intrigued by such opportunities!
