Picture Posting Advice

[Saxmaniac]

I've just uploaded Dropbox and followed instructions to the letter (I think), copied the URL into 'upload picture', but no image in my posts

Please, anyone out there who can tell me where I'm going wrong

Post the actual link and lets see whats wrong.

Well right'o then!



Link is posted above, but it's invisible to me and you too I'm guessing?

Just post the URL without trying to put it into images.

Just copy and past it into the post.

That didn't appear to work either as the link is dead, but if it did, that's only a weblink, I want to post photos in my posts like you grownups

I think dropbox is a downloading site not a hosting site.

Your link is to the page not the direct link to the image.

I cant get a direct link to you image because it downloads itself to my computer when I try.

Just trying to host it onto the hosting site I use but that is having issues.

Okay thanks Murphy I'll try and sort out a hosting site tomorrow.

Use Imgbb.com, right click copy the picture URL, then right click paste in to your thread.

Copy the link , then in the icons above there is a envelope .an easel and a film frame icon. click the easel icon and a box opens . paste your link in the box and hit ok and the box goes away and you have your link in the text bit . hit submit and your pic should show.

Thats how I posted your pic .
