Digital light meter

Ah well I have tried half a dozen times & can”t post a pic, again :frowning:
I don”t know what it is with this forum & pictures but of the forums I am on it is the only one I always struggle with.

Check one of the two other topics you tried it in, it is a matter of replacing a few symbols of the pics URL.

Done that the same as before & dosen”t work.
Have tried transferring the pics from dropbox to tinypic & tinypic says invalid code ?
The other forums I use putting up pics is simple this one is always a struggle.

There you go the above is the result.
It is so frustrating trying to post pics on this forum for me.

I am replacing ?dl=0 with ?raw=1 at the the end of the dropbox link as I did previously.

Managed to upload pic from dropbox to tinypic then to the forum from tinypic.
No idea why tinypic was refusing to accept the dropbox code earlier ?

ah, there it is! :wink:

Looking good!
I think the one I ordered must be much MUCH better :stuck_out_tongue:

You just need to replace dl=0 with dl=1.

If download is false (0) then it tries to pull us to dropbox.com. If you set download to true (1) then it does a download right into the page.

Well it”s just over 2 dollars cheaper but where is it :person_facepalming:
BTW have you read the FAQ”s in the ad for yours ?
Says if you buy more than 5 pieces you get 95% discount !

That is exactly what I am doing, I will do it again

Oops misread that so lets try gain

Look at your quote, it says raw=1

Sorry yes but this is with dl=1

Nope, still says raw=1. Replace raw with dl

Well, for one thing, Dropbox - Error - Simplify your life doesn’t seem to exist.

Also, in my limited experience, Dropbox absolutely sucks for sharing files in an open, public way. Maybe it’s just me, but when I tried to link the cute 404 pic above to the URL you provided (Quote this message for details) I get:

503 Service Unavailable
No server is available to handle this request.

But clicking it again seems to work. Or not, if I test it (in Preview) again. ??? Not-so-much negging, but Dropbox seems to be another of those shaky Google hive-mind hacks that never seems to get “finished”.

So what URL do you get from TinyPic or Imgur?

Do you use the Simple Post Editor? The orange-brown “Insert Image” button only needs a valid URL. The width and mouseclick boxes don’t technically need to be filled, just the Uniform Resource Locator of the image file itself.

I’ve never used anything but dropbox my whole time on BLF and love it. However bella seems to have broken it, I can’t even log into dropbox.com! That’s a first!
