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. :smile:

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

    @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?

    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.

    Image and video hosting by TinyPic
    It worked thanks all.
    I used tinypic and the HTML option. an extra thanks for @floatingwoo for recommending I use that :)

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

    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. ;)
