How do I include an image in a post / thread? I click the insert image button and provide a url to my dropbox but it does not work. Thanks.
 
sounds like your doing it wrong, you can also manually do it. Put the image link between the image tags, if you are using drop box you'll need to make sure the image is publicly accessible. Or you can use an image host like imgur.com

HTML: 
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HpKdeMv.jpg?1[/IMG]
 
Most host sites have the codes already embedded in the links for you. Basically a copy and paste will work. But use thumbnails if it is a large picture though. I is rather annoying to see the frames get stretched because someone used a monster sized picture to post in the thread. As when you click on a thumbnail it will open to full size to begin with.

Sites that host:
Photobucket
imageshack
imgur
tinypic
flickr

You get the picture {no fun intended} on sites. Those are just common ones.
Look for "Links to share this photo"

Then use the "IMG Thumb" links. As if you just insert the IMG code like "munkle" stated it will post it whatever size it is to begin with. If is fine as long as it is a small picture though. Just wanted you to be aware of that issue. Would be nice to get a auto resizer tag for posting larger pictures.
