I was finally able to post a pic using dropbox following the
advice of MJ:

Create a public folder in dropbox using laptop.

Move the desired pic into that folder.

Using the laptop copy public link.

In Torque post click the pic icon to insert special fields.

Click between the two fields for insertion point.

Paste the public link between the two fields.

Suggest you size the picture to no larger than 4" to fit
nicely in Torque post before adding to post.

End Quote.

so you create a public folder here
https://www.dropbox.com/help/16/en
more specifically here https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder

then you move image to the public folder, etc etc, use [ img ] tags done

hmm, exactly what i did, but a public google drive location ... link works fine from other computers so that's not the issue ... and i have a severe aversion to dropbox ... guess it is a wordpress quirk.

Ah well ... THANKS!

Maybe this link will help...

While I have not used drive... I believe it is
just a matter of using a shared public link.

Thanks again ... but that was done. It says anyone with the link can view.

I posted the same file on another forum, and it works, so it is something in the config here. If you search for [img] here, you'll find many of those unclickable little things, but I don't know how to do the "view source" type thing on other than my own posts.

As my young daughter is prone to say ... "whatever ..."

testing

i just put the direct link insteak of the embedded version
direct link dont have the img box on each side

That's a whole lot better than where I was, but how do people here show the photos of setups, etc, etc, which display inline?

THANKS for the GREAT help! Now to edit my post with the question and remove the image tag delineation.

i wil try all the option from photobucket if this site support one of it

could be a site specific issue

.html

email

.html

direct

html

img

seem in photobucket the img link work

i replaced [] with {} so you can see the code

{URL= http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r416/moreause/genesis/2014-11-03095323_zpsba17901b.jp g" target="_blank">http://i354.photobucket.com/albums/r416/moreause/genesis/2014-11-03095323_zpsba17901b.jp g"/> {/IMG}{/URL}

Anybody figure this out? I wonder if it's because G-drive is a https and PhotoBucket is just http.

I see that this thread is quite old, but you are right about the problem being down to https vs http.
I spent several hours today, struggling to get images that were stored on Drive or Dropbox to embed. All I could get was simply to display the URL.
Luckily I found this thread, and your last suggestion prompted me to drop the images that I wanted to display into the root folder on my website's server (which doesn't use secure sockets), and now it works!

EDIT:
Another difference is that when using my website as storage, the image's URL is www.xxxx.com/xxxxx.jpg , whereas the URL for Drive / Dropbox refers to a webpage that will display the image, rather than directly to the image itself. I suspect that this is probably more likely to be the reason.
