To share pics on the forum you need to put the pictures into the "Public" folder in Dropbox. Then in dropbox select the file and choose "copy public link". That's the link you want to post to the forum.

In the forum, select the "IMG" button above the posting box and that will open a dialog box. Paste the link into there and press ok.

The dialog box already has http::/ at the start so when pasting your link make sure you don't get that in twice as it will already be at the start of the link you copied from Dropbox.

The way to think about it is not that you're uploading images to the forum, you're telling people's browsers where to find the image on the internet.

So the image has to be visible to everyone on the internet and, in the case of stw, end in .jpg or .gif for the code to work.

Cheers guys will have a go at that.

Test
[img] ?dl=0[/img]

Damn dropbox!!!

[img] ?dl=0[/img]

[img] /COG-1m4gASACIAMoAQ/dTidDulYQ5JXMgN2RTKoJtYXtrCxyA6VgvgZ_lRHw7c[/img]

your original /jpg seems to redirect to

/COG-1m4gASACIAMoAQ/dTidDulYQ5JXMgN2RTKoJtYXtrCxyA6VgvgZ_lRHw7c

and that works.

if in doubt paste the bit you're going to use for the 'img' into the top of a browser page and see if it shows the image.

Cheers

the "?dl=0" on the end is causing a problem.

try just

[img] [/img]

well that doesn't work either!

seems that long link I posted is the only one that works.

Posting from photobucket - does this work?

That's a very, errm, rustic wall.

Going to open a photobucket account

From Dropbox, as I said, make sure the file is in the Public folder and make sure you copy the [u]public[/u] link.

To do this, right click on the file in the public folder then select "copy public link".

The link will look like this -

Note that it starts with dl That means it's a public link.

When pasted into the IMG dialog on the forum it shows like this -

[img] [/img]

Imgur.com is by far the easiest use and you don't even need an account.
