Joe,

Thanks for posting this, good to know.

Recently DropBox made their images so you need to access them from their site, so that you can't embed the image on PM anymore, and that's been annoying. For this reason I typically will try to upload my images to PM in hopes that they will be preserved in the future, although even that is not guaranteed as images have been lost here in the past when software was upgraded. As a rule of thumb, I think it's good to do that.

I guess all these hosting companies are going to start applying pressure for people to pay them. :bawling:

Cheers,
Alan
