How do I make images visible on forum posts?

ogreofwart

I want to offer some free graphics to forum members, and would like to display the results.
Can I upload them to Dropbox and paste the link or is there another option to make them visible?

Hi, yes, it will work putting a dropbox link but won't show any image unfortunately.\

So I guess you could do the two: image shown via Photobucket as well as the dropbox upload link each time.

Hi @ogreofwart one way is to upload to a picture server like http://photobucket.com for instance then copy and paste the relevant link.

HI @gyroscope will it work with dropbox

ogreofwart

Thanks muchly will get a photobucket account (if it's free ) and try it.

I use TinyPic, free and easy...

@tatiang I tried it several ways and previewed it but all it shows is the picture icon.
when I click on that box at the end I only get the image url option is it because I'm not pro?

tatiang

Yes but all you need is the Image URL because that's what you paste in from whatever photo-hosting site you choose to upload your image to.

ogreofwart

It worked thanks all.
I used tinypic and the HTML option. an extra thanks for @floatingwoo for recommending I use that

tatiang

Just curious... if it's free why are you watermarking it?

ogreofwart

That was just a test image I got from my files
What I intend to do is offer a free small custom graphics service for a short time like @FallingBoxStudios did a few weeks back.
I haven't worked out the exact constraints yet, its just an idea.

Sounds great!
