test for dropbox link

Thanks for verifying this. I've been having problems posting images since photobucket blocked my account because I image host ? I was been trying for three days to reactivate my dropbox account since something happened and I couldn't get link to my images, therefore I made this test.

 

Thank you:

All my images in my photobucket account are showing like a Grey Square with a clock in it that says 100% 3rd party hosting. I have also recieved two e-mails from them where they guide me to pay them 399 US to continue to use their site and get a photobucket.com /P500 account  extortting the Money ?

Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Bummer indeed Charliearon; specially the extortion of 399US to continue to use theire hosting services, I feel punished for having used them in the past, though have to admit it was useful and fun,as lomg as it lasted, reason why I am attempting to use my dropbox links Again, despite theire bad popularity, at least here.

 

Have a nice weekend: Berlopez

 

 

Test result: Fail

Your sig image is gone. Just a reminder to up your membership.

I rarely post images, but Flickr seems ok for me.

Yeah, Dropbox made a change that resulted in it not working for Images. Sucks.  Get a free account, have it grow over the years by referring others, and then they purposes changed it so we can't use it for images.  A lot of people (including me) sounded off in the forum about this but they absolutely don't care.

Well since you figured it out and the test was confirmed, I'm going to lock it since it doesn't really have anything to do with FSX and so no one will dig it up in the future.
