Cannot figure how to include images

Hi,

I was going to post some info on my Duet equipped printers but cannot figure out how to post pictures.

How is it done?

Thanks.

I think the simplest way at present is to host your images on a public site (I use Dropbox). When composing a post to this forum, press the Image button, then paste the URL of your image between the tags.

Thanks.

I thought I tried that but I will try again.

I'd recommend imgur for an image host.

Well I've tried everything I can think of to create a link the displays.

If I put the link between URL tags it will display when click BUT I cannot get the IMG tag to work - just displays as a broken link.

Now that DropBox doesn't have a Public folder is there something else I need to do (besides create a link in DropBox)?

Thanks.

When pasting a link from Dropbox, change ?dl=0 at the end of the link to ?raw=1.

Thanks much - that did it.
