RE: Pic Posting
Dropbox is cloud storage, not a web server, so it may never do that. Dunno.Never tried. Never would consider trying, in fact. Personally, the only cloud service I trust is the one I run here at the house; all others are extreme security risks and no matter how well I know the operators (some personally) I just can't take that step.
Most picture sites like Photobucket work. But, for some of them, if you carefully read the ToS, you actually are NOT allowed to link to the image and have to have viewers visit their site so they can see the advertising.
When you're doing a message:
start typing your message
click Preview Post
at the bottom, click Choose File to attach.
click Preview Post
copy the *attachment* (not the post) URL
edit your post and where you want to put in the image, click the little hill-and-sun icon and paste in your attachment's URL.
Finish up and click Preview Post to be sure everything looks how you want it then Post your finished message.
Yeah, it's a bit convoluted, but it eliminates all other storage systems and puts the image directly on the kittycats web server so you aint beholden to anyone else's rules or reliability.
