Force render issues (raw=1) and shared links won't work for hosting.
images were perfect on all browsers until yesterday afternoon - what is the fix or is this a dropbox issue?

We are rolling out a fix for issues with raw=1 and dl=1 links that started recently. Please try again and let us know if it's still not working.

Hi all
I run a site called Maths Advance and have a number of images stored on Dropbox which are then loaded into individual questions modules when users click on a question. I know now that I shouldn't have used Dropbox for these purposes and that other servers are better for website performance, but in any case it has been reliable up until now.
My question is why might some images now not be appearing for users? This has only been an issue in the last 48 hours, but needs to be fixed ASAP. All of the images are stored on Dropbox and some are loading, but others are not. The filetype and size of the file does not appear to be a critical factor.
Any ideas would be most welcome.

Yes there is an issue. Not to repeat, take a look here. You can still use links with changed domains. Let's hope this will be fixed ASAP.
Good luck.

Much appreciated, thank you. Have Dropbox acknowledged this and indicated when it is likely to be fixed?

Not exactly. About ETA, not at all. The only official comment coming from Dropbox staff, as far as I know, is here. Not too much, but better than nothing. If there is some chance, I believe Greg will do whatever possible.
