Ending support of public folder
Just heard from dropbox that support for the public folder is ending.

Yes, that's so. Some forums don't even require you to know BBCode - if you click their Image button you get [img][/img] in your post, with the cursor placed between so you can paste a url in. The only problem (I've discovered) is that though the image renders successfully, if someone right clicks it to open the image in a new window/tab, it doesn't, it downloads instead.
None of this helps with the mountain of broken links that Dropbox have just created and refuse to fix.
and what if you enclose the image in BBCode with raw=1 at the end ?
does it make any difference with dl=1 ?
Seems that all my forum avatars that I've been hosting on Dropbox are now broken. Great job, Dropbox team. Bloody great job, eh?
I guess I've always been trying to find a use for my private webserver. Y'all happy now?
