I am struggling with how to have my pictures display in my reports instead of just links. I just posted mt Mexico Desert Mule deer hunt and could not fore the life of me get the pictures to display...

This is how I posted them using the Image URL button:




They open in a new tab if you right click and say open in new tab...

Scott -
You need to upload to a service that offers image hosting. Your link to dropbox is not actually a link to the file, but a link to a web page that will display the image.

There are several services that host images for free ( postimage , imgur) as well as paid services like photobucket.com.

I've used both postimage and imgur. Postimage explicitly supports image hosting; when I last read imgur's terms and conditions, they seemed ambiguous.

I think postimage is quite easy to use and I've written up a tutorial on it. See the link in my signature.

p.s. Here's your photo - it took about 30 seconds to go to postimages.org, set the width to 800 pixels, upload the photo, and grab the "Hotlink for forums" link.
