I see that you are not having any success in posting your photo, so I will try and help you get it posted as an inline image.

Code: Select all

https://uceb3e8dd49d3f3beb71a0ef4aec.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/p/thumb/AAYX0g49dnwg-Z2DNAeJKv_O3wX3ONmxE2TYYrmkHLRgKAAHVB5k5Dt_Blppp0BFkATCBHvhlu1TGTgaFt17aKq_p1V8PADrFI9RDlO8iyMU1ZCBxv-SywYFcx-c9JITCWVJBQsTGHwMgBV3H8mvgUyS1StYPW0bhVQUXDxZu9_HXde0SuG2U6kZ-eauytHcI1sgB81UFltvFNmQmdBGIuFk7v6FKA88YL5hsB9XHqLk43TvNGTmEI0YJ8M5CNw1P9ycOa8_wnU3INjiJcdwuq24fuEREQ4JgbN7O45uTnx5M2zA67E1S8NzqL6dtQYpIjUUJK7L_4q66oWP_6LjWIywQbrNqrXd8uM1K_1anvvtmF7RIH5oORT_FX1LCCl9_50/p.jpeg?size_mode=5
Above is the url to your dropbox displayed image which is a webpage. You must get the actual url address to the photo itself.
Your image is 2160px x 2880px, which is too large to post directly using the "img" BBcode.
You will need to use either "thumb=" BBcode or "timage=" BBcode.
I suggest you use the "timage=" BBcode, so I will provide the code to post this photo as a 768x1024 image using "timage=" BBcode.

Here are the steps:
1. You need to view this link in another browser tab or window.
2. Move mouse over the image and right click to bring up the Open/Copy sub-menu and select "Copy Image Address".
3. Now in the post editor where you will create your post, select the "timage=" button above the edit window.
You should see this string "[timage=] [/timage]" in the editor window with the cursor located between the two inside brackets of that string.
4. Paste the copy image address from the Clipboard, which will add it to the timage code.
5. Now move the cursor to right of the "=" and add this string (including the double quotes) "768,1024" .

Here is what the completed "timage=" BBcode will look like:

Code: Select all

[timage="768,1024"]https://uceb3e8dd49d3f3beb71a0ef4aec.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/p/thumb/AAYX0g49dnwg-Z2DNAeJKv_O3wX3ONmxE2TYYrmkHLRgKAAHVB5k5Dt_Blppp0BFkATCBHvhlu1TGTgaFt17aKq_p1V8PADrFI9RDlO8iyMU1ZCBxv-SywYFcx-c9JITCWVJBQsTGHwMgBV3H8mvgUyS1StYPW0bhVQUXDxZu9_HXde0SuG2U6kZ-eauytHcI1sgB81UFltvFNmQmdBGIuFk7v6FKA88YL5hsB9XHqLk43TvNGTmEI0YJ8M5CNw1P9ycOa8_wnU3INjiJcdwuq24fuEREQ4JgbN7O45uTnx5M2zA67E1S8NzqL6dtQYpIjUUJK7L_4q66oWP_6LjWIywQbrNqrXd8uM1K_1anvvtmF7RIH5oORT_FX1LCCl9_50/p.jpeg?size_mode=5[/timage]
As you can see the dropbox image url is very long, so be careful not to add or delete any of the url address text.

Now select the "Preview" button at the bottom of the editor and you should see your photo displayed in the Preview window.
If it looks like you want it, then complete your post and do one more Preview to check that your post is complete.
If so, then select the "Submit" button and your post will be added.

Here is the inline photo post:

Hope this helps.

I replaced craig's image address with one I copied from a new image tab...then it appeared for me.
(maybe the address isn't static?)

Yep, they sure aren't static. :o
A good reason for not using dropbox to host photos. ;)

Here is the photo using the current image url address:

In a private email, supernukes said he hoped to post some more photos this weekend.

yup, I can't see any of the images you posted, just the one I did.

I see now Slickpic is watermarking hosted pics, it was good while it lasted ;)
