Entropian 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entropian 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should paste into the forum just right, example: That has nothing to do with discord, but with your browser. 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.

B-STRK Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone Blue Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 SO I tried digging a little bit on this, but couldnt find anything: Did something change recently with Activity Streams? I had a custom stream setup nicely, with about half of the forum sections omitted... Recently, my stream is now literally *FLOODED* with poo from, especially, "The Lounge".... ABSOLUTELY has ruined my want to even participate in the forums at all, when I have to sift thru all the garbage that single forum adds to my stream, much less all the other forums I had excluded, that I never peruse... I've tried poking every setting/page related to Custom Streams, but I no longer see any kind of *forum section* filtering... :screaming: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, there is a work around for whatever change was made (I'm 90% sure there is, but not 100%). I do not know it, but I believe it was mentioned either in this thread or the ask the mods thread. Try your luck with a search (might have better luck playing keno though), but I'm pretty sure somebody with the answer will come along.

Gargamel Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Actually @Stone Blue, apparently I do know how. Top of this page or so: But the fact that the picture no longer exists worries me, as I took it right from Invison’s page itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think having "Forums" shown seperately than under "Topics" would have been a better choice for clarity/visibility...? vOv but what do *I* know?... I'm just an old fart, who learned the inner-webs in the late '90s... :rofl: So, IMHO: "An elegant innerwebs, for a moar logical Age...."

Rutabaga22 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I can't seem to figure out how to upload from imgur. I get the link, click insert from URL and when I click insert it just turns red. Same when I tried IBB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try copying and pasting the direct link into a post, it should embed without having to use any insert functions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Kerman Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just now, Rutabaga22 said: I tried in this post but it's just a link. The forum software lost the ability to post imgur album links a while back. If you click on an image in the album and then right click and copy the image address you should end up with the direct link. You can then paste that into a post and it should embed.

Vanamonde Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 The Imgur link version you want is the BBCode one. Imgur kept changing the way their albums linked and for a while our guys were finding work arounds, but it just got to be too much trouble so albums no longer work.
