Absolutely Jim. Link works fine Beautiful image.
-
All good for me
-
Hi Jim, nice to see you there.
The link works fine - downloads OK, could be a decent way of transferring raw and other files in discussions. -
Embedding that image.
-
only if I disable blocking DropBox attempts to track me in Privacy Badger
-
Hmm... I may have to find another place to host these images. Google Drive?
-
your own images - you can host them on your own website and link from there - no ?!
-
That means FTPing them to my website, which is a pain. Doable, but a pain.
-
I usually use postimages.org/ - offers various insert in your post codes, etc

well, I do not post anything that I 'd object being used by others :-) ...
-
I can see it. And I love my 50r.
-
- yes embedding works fine - and all 48MP is there when zoomed in (I prefer to see shots directly embedded, rather than a dropbox link to an image).
Great to see you here! - and your IR shots.
For sure this site needs some GUI and general appearance tweaks but I think it can evolve pretty quick.
-
It is asking me to download the file. Not opening the image on a new window.
-
Yes that's because it's dropbox link (and has confused matters here), though it works as much as dropbox links do, as a link.
Jim also did an embedded image test. See my reply above.
-
Jim beautiful image. Strangely the first time I clicked on the embedded image it opened in a new window and it came in full resolution. I closed the window read down and tried to reopen it and nothing happened. Not sure what's happening. The guys pulling this site together are doing an awesome job in record time. Its going to take a while to iron out little issues.

DPReview also had that in their terms and conditions. I queried it with Simon Joinson. He told me it was just 'boiler plate' and didn't mean anything. I suggested that if you put it in a legal document it did mean something. He got cross. Mind you, I think the conversation did affect things because soon thereafter the dreaded 'unknown member' tag started appearing, meaning that members had the right to delete their accounts. The system kept on displaying their posts though.
-
An amazing picture, Jim. Thanks for sharing.
Greetings to all the MF forum members!
I shoot FF but am medium format curious, so I'll be lurking and learning from the good people on this forum.

I'm not familiar with Dropbox, but if you can find a version of the URL above where it ends with ?dl=0 instead of ?dl=1, viewer clicking on it will be redirected to Dropbox's own file viewer instead of downloading it.
www.dropbox.com/s/i5kb8apx9kdvt21/_DSF6676-%281%29-Edit-3.jpg?dl=0There should also be another version of the URL called "direct link" or something similar, so you can use it to attach (link) the image directly here. The URL should look like this (yeah it doesn't look nice):
ucce86e071725b095eb8f39656e0.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/p/thumb/AB0Go1fsPQCeYcLgl1W80VxV8y4r8Ql-0hvqfleyqerke6W3dnPcBr0hoDp_fxW99VMw_kvwGTz8_cIe27TG0fI8G1q6Zy7SPBTdEf7lcywuUwVOtA1wXW4B1oAw8FjQrootBay1afDRRpwAEx-wcjp0gENH_VhTGSDPcr62f1trYSL3bSIa6DhZGqyJic_9xG1PVtS7R_82scnahxw9F5SUNF-rV4Vh2EyoKCkbKaO8EQ0gvb7foCOzvIivO05D1madGyrg93ED9uiqbQF-Vcjjr7vTXZYQdT2Xumb64JwjUY-zNOX5WCt_vahonYpaMxfhTG8fitfShijk6v3855AvgRn0cu9mAYzmG9utq0UtzbQdwAW3Tdw_ULeAJa_FlzfS1SH_zqyKW72Rut551hAqhHyQ9QThz1pfoSHUHUMhMg/p.jpegYou can then use the URL to attach your image within threads as usual.

Not at the moment; can only dl it.

See here

you can wrap Jim's dropbox link above in an img tag to show the image (it does work) within a post, then additionally add the url tag to make the image clickable as an active link. Seems like a lot of trouble, but isn't once you get used to it. So doing that with Jim's image, it's now clickable to the dropbox...
Or simply replace 'ADDRESS' here (twice) with the address to the image (taking note of .jpg), the first instance is to provide an active link, the second to embed the image -
[url=ADDRESS.jpg][img]ADDRESS.jpg[/img][/url] -
Thanks for this explanation.
