Photos & Administrators
I would like to see a Sticky created on uploading photos simple step by step guide, with max' dimensions and size how to actually get them into the forum. Also I see there are many photos loaded but obviously hidden for some reason why? info on that would be needed as well plus what url you would use.
You will have guessed I have no knowledge on such matters and I am sure there will be others in the future.
Lastly I would like to see a Sticky only members can read with the Admin and Mod staff with the category they maintain so they can be contacted on issues such as this which don't really need to be placed in disussion categories.

I had already read the link in your comment hence my post to me it really didn't explain how to load a photo.
Check if it works by clicking the comment Preview button.
<img src="HTTP-YOUR-IMAGE-LINK.JPG">
Example, using the google logo,
https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png
Using one of the original links you posted,
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n8p2wojsvj952s3/IMAG0018.jpg?dl=0
1. Replace the "www.dropbox.com" part of the URL with "dl.dropboxusercontent.com"
Result: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/n8p2wojsvj952s3/IMAG0018.jpg?dl=0
or
2. Change the "?dl=0" into "?raw=1"
Result: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n8p2wojsvj952s3/IMAG0018.jpg?raw=1
or
3. Load the original URL in a browser, right click on the image, and copy the image URL. This gives a long awkward URL, but the size of the pic is more browser friendly (not full size).
Result: https://photos-6.dropbox.com/t/2/AABgBjcfc3j9lJOP8ha7c-4d3VCT1iTv2kbGcTqEIk8ujQ/12/93678162/jpeg/32x32/1/1434186000/0/2/IMAG0018.jpg/CNLU1SwgASACIAMgBCAFIAYgBygBKAI/P2t1w_1RjSKBHgpfsB5sEnp7rEcIJoECyeWcbQ8v1F8?size=1024x768&size_mode=2
And don't forget to put it into the actual img code from the toolbar (or copy/paste from below). It MUST look like this to show up as a picture when you post it instead of a text link!
First one I couldn't get to work but raw=1 did.
I chose to use dropbox as I have used it a couple of times in the past so had a vague idea.
I tried photobucket first but always ended up with greyed out areas in pop up box and couldn't understand what was wrong.
Sorry I don't quite get the last paragraph on img code tried it by highlighting text link and clicked image in toolbar. Only one photo appeared and grossly oversized and blurred.
Putting the link within the img code will look like this, for each of 3 methods. Copy one completely from < to > and try it out-
<img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/n8p2wojsvj952s3/IMAG0018.jpg?dl=0" />
<img src="https://www.dropbox.com/s/n8p2wojsvj952s3/IMAG0018.jpg?raw=1" />

I seem to have got it right?
Is there a preffered size as in photo dimention to use for posting on forums as this would enable me to do a better job of it to start with.
Sorry to be such a noob on embedding.
So now the photos are showing in the thread without need to access them is that how it should be?
But they are actually being seen from dropbox?
