Jeff has offered to show me how to reduce the click intensive process of posting images from Flicker to two clicks. Here is what I do, which I find somewhat laborious. Firstly I have to navigate to Flicker, I usually land on the Photostream page, there are no images there so I have to switch to the Camera Roll page where the images are visible.  Image 1 When I arrive at the camera roll page, I find all the images are in a jumbled order but I am unable to sort them by date/time as I would wish. The filenames are not available either so I can't always identify specific similar images, say good and bad examples of the same image.  Image 2 Then I select the image I need, click on the top right arrow pointing both ways??? and hope... Then I land here, and choose to go to the Photo page (which was what I had expected from the previous click?):  Image 3 I select the curly arrow to the right:  Image 4 Finally I get to copy the image url.  Image 5 Which I then paste into the forum post such as this. Frankly I find it tedious to say the least. Posting a single image isn't too bad but for a single image I don't bother with Flicker, I simply use the forum software. To populate a post such as this where I want the images in the correct order, I find it quite difficult because the file names are not visible until I have actually pasted the image on the forum text edit box.

You can see the images are in bracket img bracket and bracket slash bracket commands, I can't use the sq brackets because they will count as HTML and not be visible.

The image file address has to be in the sq brackets 'img' as above screenshot but I'm not sure you can use an image directly linked via Drop Box. If you can I don't know the HTML code to do it, maybe JK does?

I think this faq from Dropbox answers my question (assuming our forum is same setup as social media)..... Will I still be able to share photos directly from my Dropbox account to Facebook or Twitter? You're no longer able to share photos directly from your Dropbox account to social media. Instead, you can use shared links to share files or folders on social media.

I already tried that. I'm not saying it can't be done, perhaps someone with good knowledge of HTML could do it. Once you have the code it would be easy. But, I don't think Dropbox is intended as an image hosting provider like Flicker is. Dropbox is simply a neat way to send large files to one or may recipients, who then use the image on their computer.

Well done Eric, You don't NEED the bits of code outside of the [img sq brackets}. Take a look at my screenshot above. I think according to Flickers T&C's you are supposed to include all the code, so they can track where 'their' (YOUR) images are being posted and they get the credit.
