Doesn't always work, either. And sometimes you'll eventually encounter the 
more fundamental reason why...a  message arrogantly stating that "Dropbox 
doesn't support your browser."

It is arrogance because no Web site "supports" the user's browser. It's 
actually a question of whether or not the _browser_ supports whatever 
newfangled doodads the Web developer insists on using on his pages! But they 
phrase it to make it sound as if they've been doing us a favor by 
"supporting" our software all along, so now it's up to us to get with the 
program, so THEY can do the things THEY want to do...which is to intrude 
further onto our machines. <end soapbox mode>

Anyway, does anyone use Photobucket any more?  I know it's handy to just 
drop files in a folder on your computer and let Dropbox come along and 
rummage around and pick them up when it decides to, but that convenience in 
uploading seems to be more than offset by the inconvenience in viewing.
