Entropian 439 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Is there any way to embed a Dropbox .png into a post? I've tried deleting the %xxxx tag at the end and the %xx tags in the URL, but they don't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately, the way Dropbox renames files, it is impossible to use it for a repository for your image files. You'll have to use a website such as Photobucket or Imgur, or possibly host them on your own website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Entropian 439 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) @adsii1970 so Dropbox image embed actually works, you just have to change the ?dl=0 at the end to a ?dl=1. Example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dhno7aybxqcyxy0/Takeoff.png?dl=0 versus EDIT: It might not display for some people; I'm trying to narrow it down.

Actually, there is a simpler way, just paste your images in any text chat at Discord, right click it, and copy Image link. It should paste into the forum just right, example: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can right click any image on the internet and click the "copy image address" option. Note, you do not want to copy the image link in most browers, as this will copy the link to whatever the image is linked to, and not the image itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-STRK 230 Posted Thursday at 12:37 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:37 PM Not sure if this has been answered elsewhere here: how does one upload an Imgur-hosted video or GIF as a live player? Insert Image From URL won't do it, and neither will typing the link in the post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gargamel 6,275 Posted Thursday at 02:22 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:22 PM The forums don't seem to support MP4 direct linking. Upload the video to Youtube then link that. Gif's work fine, just treat them like any pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
