Laziness or Necessity?

[John P. Myers]

I think I've found part of your problem.

Okay, when using DropBox you have to place images into C:\Dropbox\Public\some-image-dot-jpg

For Dropbox HTTPS only takes you to DropBox's on-line folder view.

I'll look into that, but it still doesn't explain the inability to attach an image straight from my hard drive (without dropbox involved in any way) or to reference an external image, dropbox or not.

[QUOTE=Fire$torm;74686]Here is the public URL of your pic I DL'd and put in my Public folder https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3595745/QXvUnUwqiXKep8ke3ZS1Hc_T9uxAM1cBowCKXB_VZcE.jpg



Ok. Checked things and as i said earlier Dropbox is not the problem. My settings were fine which was evident since the Dropbox link worked elsewhere. See how the image is showing up now? I used the link from your uploaded version to display it, but there's a catch: for whatever reason, your version of the file is smaller - only 77kB, whereas the original (the one i'm trying to post) is 151kB. I'm trying to tell you i cannot upload/attach/link to anything over 100kB, using my hard drive, dropbox or any other site anywhere at all.

Ooops, I forgot to check file size. Okay, it has to be your account then, as you do not have this issue on other forums, yes? I'll assume the affirmative.

Let me dig through all your forum permissions. It has to be in there somewhere.....

Crap.

F***

Damn.

We need to remove your computer from the equation. Do you have a *nix VM handy? Or better yet, any LiveCD (Optical or Thumb Drive) you can boot from? The only other way is try from a different computer/laptop.
