DropBox picts to forum

Post by WilliamL »

I just signed up at DropBox and I'm trying to use the link they provide to show a jpg on the forum. When I get the link they provide ([im g]https://www.dropbox.com/s/csijct9k1qx8i ... lyBdgt.jpg[/im g]) (im g=img) I get the message 'It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image.' when I preview my post. Is there a way to do this from DropBox?

[later]
Ok, I got it to work. Isn't 'Google'ing wonderful! The change to the link to make it work is to replace the www with dl. So now you have [im g]https://dl.dropbox.com/s/csijct9k1qx8iq ... lyBdgt.jpg[/im g]

Hey, Zebuddi123! You got it to work but you didn't say how!

Ok, I'll try your method. Yeah, it just blurry.

I'm gonna take it down so it doesn't just take up room.. tomorrow.

DropBox pics that are hot-linked never show for me on any forum.
Best wishes to the PB community. Thank you for the memories. ♥️
