Dropbox and this forum . . .

This question relates to user-run tournaments for FOG2 and the posting of league tables.

I have forgotten how to get these tables from Creately on to the forum. I have a "test" table in Creately, I press the "Export" tab and I send it as a JPEG and it tells me the export is completed. It goes to the Downloads section on my computer and I then move it to Dropbox. In Dropbox I create a link for it. I can then send it by PM by using the URL function like this . . .

but if I try and paste it directly into this post by using the same link with the

What am I doing wrong? How do I get the chart from Dropbox so you can read it on the page? Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

i just load the image into paint in windows, and then save as what ever file format you wish to use jpg is the compressed version and smaller in size so works best for no lost of the image

[zakblood]

see mine is 65.4 KiB

while yours in larger at (166.99 KiB)

[zakblood]

so all sorted now?

[stockwellpete]

Thanks for your help. I can "export" from Creately using jpeg so I will do that in future.

[zakblood]

no problem any time

Next question.

With the charts we have posted you cannot see the whole table without using the scrollbar. I used to be able to post so that the whole table was viewable. If you look in this old thread (some of it has fallen victim to Photobucket's new policy) you will see some quite large tables displayed in their entirety . . .

Any idea on the procedure for doing that? I thought that I had used the [img] function and I remember adjusting the size too using the function three along from [img].

I also notice that you cannot use the attachment procedure by PM yet my friend has sent me a fully viewable chart by PM. I have sent him a message about it but I was wondering if you had any ideas?

[zakblood]

Zakblood, what can you see in hide's post? Do you see two pictures or do you see two small boxes with a cross in them and the word "image" to the right of the small boxes? I can only see the two boxes and the word "image".
