Insert image with Dropbox

[chromakey]

Good Day:

I am trying to use Dropbox to insert images within the text of my message.

I can't get it to work.

The link uses the secure "https" protocol. Is this type of link compatible with this Forum?

Most if not all of the inserted images I see on the post use "http".


Thanks,
Michael

Use photobucket. I don't think Dropbox works here unless it just a link to pic

This image is hosted on dropbox. You need to make sure the URL is between the {img} {/img} but replace the {} with []

Hi:

Thanks for the reply. I still have an issue.

Your URL for your photo is: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26003034/wysiwyg.jpg

When I am using Dropbox and click share link, link copied to clipboard it is like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tg8m989wqjh3bxt/DSC_8142.jpg

It doesn't have the "dl" part. I was wondering what you are doing differently?

Thanks,
Michael

I replaced the www with dl and it works.

Did you make sure the image is in the public folder?

Hi:

I still can't get it to work. I drop my files in the Dropbox folder, icon in system tray. By the way I am running Windows Vista.

How do I know which folders are public?

I go to my Dropbox on the internet, I click share file, and copy link. I don't have a right click option to copy link directly.

My Link still looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q19ly9rcqiqsiva/DSC_8140.jpg This opens a tab with my picture on the dropbox website.

Thanks again.
