Are you doing this via Dropbox as folder on your PC or via a browser?

Best way  :y

1) make sure it's in "public" folder.
2) right click image, click copy public URL
3) make a post here, press image button & paste the URL inbetween the two brackets eg ]here[

It's quite easy on photobucket as it gives you the image link complete I believe.
