Are you images in your Dropbox public folder? They need to be it seems. Another possible fix is to replace "www" with "dl" in the URI.jimred07 wrote:Any tips on posting from dropbox? The URL it gives me doesn't seem to be playing....
This is the image in my public folder and I have used the Dropbox "Public Link". It actually replaces the www with dl anyway.

When I view the thread via Tapatalk, the picture is embedded into post.
When I view the thread via a web browser on the PC, no image appears. Any ideas on what is causing this?

I can see the image on the desktop site (Firefox) - if you're on a work network, overzealous IT security might be to blametez001 wrote:In my recent post, viewtopic.php?f=34&t=81428" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I created a thread in Tapatalk and uploaded a image through the Tapatalk link.

The unfortunate situation for me personally is that my only way to view this site is via my iPad, and on the iPad any page of a string that has an over side image on it becomes extremely difficult to view as the format of the messages themselves becomes unbelievable tiny.
Is there any way that the BNA site can be set so that it automatically reduces file size, or at the very least provides a message to the poster that the file being uploaded is too large?
Cheers,
Tom

Obviously it is poor etiquette when members include overlarge images. And technically if they are reduced, everyone is loading (e.g.) a 1MB image when it should be a 70kb image.
However it is something to do - (I tend to get stuck doing all of the techy basic maintenance type things which take away from these type of improvements. So do remind me.

Unfortunately this site does not host images as sometimes images are not actually owned which created copyright issues.

Photobucket has really gone downhill, you could probably call it spambucket with the amount of ads (some very questionable).
What good, honest and easy to use photo services are out there which members can recommend?
(background for new members, it is best not to host images on BNA, not only from bandwidth, rather copyright as some people may chose to upload images they do now have permission to use, so hosting images elsewhere and taking BNA out of the loop is best).

Edit: what would be nice is something that converts plain text files, pdfs or ms-word files straight into xml or html or some displayable content from dropbox photobucket etc
(Eg instead of having to download it).
I guess I could try converting it first and then uploading it to dropbox (I haven't really played with it much) but was thinking would be nice if it did it all automagically.

If you right-click the image and choose "view image" (firefox) or "show picture" (internet explorer), then copy the URL you should be right:

This link just takes me to the page with the image - so wont work.
The trick is to first click on the image to get the large version. On the image right click (PC)... or if you are awesome and use a mac, it is 'control click' on the image. From the list that appears you need to "Copy Image URL". When you past it in here it will look like this.

Am I able to post images from a photo hosting site that has NO hot-linking?
Was going to use this one- https://pixabay.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; but specifies in FAQ: NO hot-linking.
Thank you for any info/advice.
