I've been a member of the site since '09 and I have never been able to click on pictures in the galleries to enlarge them. Do I have to post something first? I know it says "for CONTRIBUTING members only", and I've never posted anything.

I don't know whats up with that.
You are registered, so therefore you should be able to view the pics.
Send a PM to djunod and see what he thinks...

Text and lists

**bold**, *italic*, ~~struck~~
## Heading, ### Smaller
- item for a list, 1. item for a numbered one; indent two spaces to nest
- [ ] to do and - [x] done for checkboxes
A blank line starts a new paragraph

Links and quotes

[words](https://...) for a link; another site opens in a new tab
[words](https://...){new} opens it in a new tab, even a page on this site; {same} keeps a link to another site in this tab
A bare address becomes a link by itself
A link to an Instagram post, a YouTube video or a post on X, on a line of its own, shows it; in a sentence, it shows below
A link to a YouTube channel (youtube.com/@name) shows the channel - its picture, name and counts - and its latest videos
> words to quote

Icons

A link to one of these sites gets its icon by itself: Facebook YouTube X Instagram TikTok Threads LinkedIn GitHub Reddit Discord eBay Etsy
Any other icon, by hand: <i class="bi bi-envelope"></i>, inside or before a link: <i class="bi bi-mastodon"></i> [Mastodon](https://...)
Every name is at icons.getbootstrap.com; use it after bi bi-
A link with a picture or an icon of its own gets no second one

Code and tables

`code` inside a line
A block between fence lines, its language after the first:
```
```php
echo 'hi';
```
```

A table:

| Part | Price |
|------|-------|
| Fan  | $12   |

Pictures

![description](images/name.jpg) - from this site's image library
![description](shared/name.jpg) - from Shared Images, the same on every site here
The words in [ ] describe the picture; a click opens it full size
Several in a grid: see Gallery

Gallery

Pictures between :::gallery and :::, one per line, become a grid that fits the page:

:::gallery min=220 captions
![Front](shared/front.jpg)
![Side](shared/side.jpg)
:::

Options on the first line, any you like:

min=220: narrowest column, px
gap=12: space between, px
ratio=4:3: one shape for all; auto keeps each
fit=contain: whole picture, not cropped
layout=masonry: columns, each keeps its shape
captions: each picture's words in [ ] shown under it

Callouts and prompts

A callout box is a quote starting with its kind:
```
> [!TIP]
> Words in the box.
```
Kinds: NOTE, TIP, IMPORTANT, WARNING, CAUTION
A prompt for an AI is a fence marked ```prompt: its lines wrap and are never coloured as code

In a post

Drop or paste a picture into the box, or use Insert picture: it goes in as ![name](shared/name.jpg)
Drop a video into the box, or use Insert video: it goes in as ![name](files/name.mp4), a player with a picture of it, and shows in Media
@Name mentions a member: type @ and pick them from the list; they are told, and their name links to their page
community/threads/12 links another thread; on a line of its own it is a card
![Wayne](community/members/wayne-fields.3f2a9c1b0d) on a line of its own is a member's signature card; paste their profile's address

On this site

Pictures from Admin → Images: ![The workbench](images/workbench.png); files from Admin → Files: [The manual](files/manual.pdf), or ![The manual](files/manual.pdf) on a line of its own for a card with a Download button.
