Hi Paul and WeatherCat fans,
I am having some difficulty getting a signature banner to display. i wonder if anyone can help?
I have this code in my signature box:
[url=https://www.dropbox.com/][img]https://www.dropbox.com/s/c15w574omx4aray/WeatherCatBanner.jpg[/img][/url]
I think I see you problem but alas don't know of a solution. If you put your image link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c15w574omx4aray/WeatherCatBanner.jpg into a new page or tab of a browser, it doesn't give you just the image. Instead if provides you with a link from which you could download the image.
Unfortunately the BBS software can't cope with this. Most of use have some sort of web hosting that we use so that you can access images directly. Another way to do this is if you can upload to an online photo album site that allows you link directly to an image.
I've run into this problem with Dropbox before. It is a little dumb, but I suppose they didn't intend to provide any sort of web hosting capability. You might explore their own photo album feature. I've never gotten into it, so there could be a possible trick there.
Sorry, perhaps someone else can add some more advice.
Cheers, Edouard
