DropBox Public Folder Change for Bulletin Boards

(1/1)

gabumon:
Hi All.  Don't know how many of you use Dropbox to post pics here, but they changed how their public folders work.  You have to generate a new link because any previous public links you posted are broken. :(

Anyway the second annoyance is that the new link ("shared link") you generate doesn't work by default in MLP Arena (other bulletin board software)


--- Quote ---Web forum software, it seems when using the img codes , accepts the
"https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com......." format of current public folder links ,
but rejects the "https://www.dropbox.com......" format of current links
--- End quote ---

So you have to edit the image link to remove
--- Code: ---www.dropbox.com
--- End code ---
and replace it with
--- Code: ---dl.dropboxusercontent.com
--- End code ---
and leave everything else the same. 

It seems to work, but I dunno maybe dropbox isn't the way to go anymore.

Taxel:
Oh that's annoying. I'll have to fix my Dropbox links on another site. Thanks for the heads-up!

melodys_angel:
Ug.  Thanks for the heads up..this is inconvenient to say the least.
