Concerning Dropbox links being disabled [Sitewide Issue]
a week ago
General
I have done an investigation regarding the disabling of drop box links, and I regret to inform everyone that the issue isn't on my end, or with thankfully drop box.
But the problems seems to be with fur affinity itself? And, I'm not the only animator dealing with this, it seems to be a problem site-wide. Here is the evidence supporting my claims.

However, this seems to be an issue with dropbox links in particular? Mega links, and catbox links appear to be as intended.

To prove this isn't an issue on dropbox's end, these links are still usable, kinda, let me show you.

[Working Goblin necro Link I added the space behind .com to make it unaltered, but if you remove it works fine. This is what the link should look like.]

Workarounds? Yeah, there are actually. Delete everything after and including '&st' and the link should work as intended, it's weird but workable for the moment.

[the workaround I used for the Goblin necro link should look like this. I added the Space behind .com to make a point.]
I'm guessing the staff unintentionally fudged with the code somewhere so for this moment I won't begin another migration since it's a widespread issue that will probably be addressed later down the line.
However if this problem persists for longer than I feel appropriate then I will have to add link shortening to all my vids as a more direct workaround.

Thanks for the heads up. I was trying to download Petruz's skeleton pack and was wondering why the link didn't work.

Yeah it's strange, not sure how long it's been a problem.

Seems recent-ish. I think I clicked on something just fine last week.

Must have occurred during that cloud flare fiasco.
