Thanks Mr Gav. That's more or less what I do, but that leaves the reader having to click on the address to see the pic.

Not if done correctly.


[ img ]   web address here   [ /img ]


^^  That's how it should look (without the spaces).

Example: 


Just the URL (address) pasted into the window produces this;

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9j8nwh05nz4bh5n/GEARlevCLIP50%25jpg.jpg?dl=0

If you put the [ img ] tags around it (minus the spaces)



You may want to resize your images to a more screen friendly size though.  Dropbox and PhotoBucket will show you a resolution happy preview, but linking directly to the image will show it in full-size.  Shame the Forum Software doesn't have the Auto-Resize plug-in installed.

That's similar to what I did, but substituting img with irl. I'll try that. Here is a pic of how I bleed my clutch by gravity, with funnel and hose full of brake fluid attached to bleed nipple and hung on a roof beam,

That did not work.

[Mr Gav]

That's because the last img tag was  [ img ]   and not   [ /img ]    (without the spaces)

[terry paget]

Try again.

[terry paget]

That one vanished. I'll try again.

Now the whole pic instruction disappears, ending the line with [/img].  Using the original format I get this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zn4scwtspt4lsgo/BLEEDINGclutch50%25.jpg?dl=0
which I expect to wrok after a fashion. Replacing url with img this is the result.

Perhaps dropbox does not recognise it.

Possibly... certainly that is how you would post a photobucket link

[Entwood]

Drop box is different to other storage sites ...

Place the photo in your drop box public folder

once there RIGHT click the photo and choose "copy public link" then paste this into your post ... you will get something like ..

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85356592/IMAG19-2.jpg

then place THAT between the [ img] [ /img] (without the spaces)

and you get



HTH
