General Image Sharing Question

[longshot975]

Not sure where to post this but trying to get some assistance, has anyone in the boards used dropbox to host images for cgc postings? Was trying to use it but images are not showing when I copy the links so just seeing if anyone else in here has used dropbox on the boards and give me some advice.

I user imgur.com. Very easy to use.

was using imgur.com as well here but someone told me tht it would be better using dropbox, so was trying to give it a try but when I try to put links up to images, the images never show up.

I used Dropbox to provide the link to my Iron Man #1 below. In the preview the link works fine? Now I'll post and see what happens next!

Now I need someone besides myself to try the link and see if it works!

To be honest I was using imgur for my photo sharing, I never even thought of using my Dropbox. Let me know if the link works for anyone else. I have found so far that I can't load larger photos to my Dropbox for viewing or at least they are not showing up.

 

I'll do a little more investigative work on the Dropbox idea and try and keep you posted.

it loads from the link but was trying to get it to do like imgur does with displaying the image instead of the link. guess it may not be possible

Isn't Photobucket the go-to image linking site?

You got me there. I couldn't find anyway to load the image directly from Dropbox. imgur seems to be the easiest to use in my opinion for links and direct loads. Maybe use Dropbox to link to larger scans?

imgur can handle any size scan pretty much

 

what I really like about it is that it provides all the various forms you might need-- message board [img.... ; html code if you understand how to use it (really helpful in posting the enormous scan in an eBay ad) - direct links -- all these are covered by imgur. It's a slick application.
