0 BosKonay Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I find Dropbox excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dave Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Dropbox is brilliant, all my devices sync to it. If you recommend it to other people you get extra storage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broithe Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 On my other Forum, it doesn't seem possible to embed a picture from Dropbox - does it work on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Garfield Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Tinypic.com is handy... You should be able to embed a Dropbox link. Just don't go moving the original file around on your hard drive, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WRENNEIRE Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Try opening a second Photobucket account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kirley Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks Guys for the suggestions. I tried Dropbox but can't get my images to show, is there something else you do other than copying the link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BosKonay Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I -think- they need to be in your public folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Broithe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Test I can't see that on the Forum, but I can pick up the link and then view it in another window - that's what happens on my other Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Broithe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 That's there for me! - I would be very interested to know what you've done, in a form that will be understood by the highly-paid typists that have failed to get past this problem where I spend the other half of my waking hours.

0 BosKonay Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Moved the image to public folder in my Dropbox. Asked Dropbox for the link to the image. It gave me a direct URL to the jpg Over here clicked add image. Choose from URL. Paste in the Dropbox link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broithe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Right - I'll pass that on - and let you know if it worked over there - thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kirley Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 I've moved my image to the Public folder Clicked share Get link Link copied to clipboard still does not show when I paste it. You say, "Add Image" I can't find that, the only one I see is "Insert Image" but that does not work as well? -HELP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BosKonay Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 The link should be direct to the image file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broithe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Cheers, makes sense really that only the public one is hot linkable. We've tried a few pictures now - and it seems to work for us too - inter-Forum solidarity!!! Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broithe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 These are Stafford Forum's first directly embedded Dropbox images - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/new-pub-opening-hungry-horse-in-stafford.9920/page-18#post-220649 - we know what's important.....

0 BosKonay Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 @Kirley - for me I pick "copy public link" and get a URL at dl.dropboxusercontent.com Then click the Insert Image icon, then paste in the URL (you can optionally click the 'retrieve local copy' check box, and the forum will copy it down from dropbox to link locally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kirley Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks Stephen, without your help I would never would have got there. It's a bit more cumbersome than Photobucket but as long as it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Broithe Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Thanks Stephen, without your help I would never would have got there. Seconded - sorted out two forums for the price of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
