    No luck. I tried as you said. Not sure what to use for the URL. I tried right-clicking on the posted image and selecting "copy image address," but that didn't work. There should be a better way than having to steal a URL from a pic in a Facebook post, anyway, I think.

    I've tried both Dropbox and Google Drive for this and can get neither to work. So maybe it's a PHP thing on the server, like Bob was suggesting.
    You have to use an image link to the image file on google drive, not upload the image to the forum.

    Did you uncheck the (Retrieve remote file and reference locally) box?

    Here is your pic from the FB page.

    I was wondering if it could be something like that. Thanks.

    Here it is using that above-referenced technique:

    [IMG]<iframe src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1I3PJOmqlFE_RJEhm6KPaWBFqLcdTSDqE/preview" width="640" height="480"></iframe>[/IMG]

    Hmmmm... didn't work. How 'bout if I remove the iframe references?



    Dang. Not working.

    I did not. Is that all you did? Here, lemme give it a try...



    Okay, that did it. Thanks. I wonder why the retrieve option isn't allowed.

    Bob is running an old version of VB 4.2.3 and it works best on PHP 5.5 which is being phased out. Here is a post on the VB forum about what PHP version is best for VB 4 and there is an update to 4.2.5 that you can use with PHP 7.
    I used to use VB but switched to Xenforo far superior to VB and made by the developers from VB.

    Glad you got it working.

    I'm gonna have to take your word for it, Micro. Way above my pay grade.

    No flux. Not even any solder. The demonstrated spacing between cables minimizes induction of digital crosstalk.
