Dropbox share image links

[Grayfox]

Does this site block dropbox share image links with the raw=1 part at the end?

For some reason I just get the red X image instead of what I am trying to post.
When I am in the WYSIWYG editor the image renders fine, but click on preview or post, nothing.

Does this on chrome or firefox.

Sounds more likely the other way around, Dropbox doesn't allow hotlinking like that so Jordan's proxy can't pick it up.

You're seeing it in the preview because it's in your cache.

It works on other forums, hence this topic.

The Dropbox documentation states that adding the raw=1 parameter forces a redirect to view the file. Our image proxy does not follow redirects, so the image would appear broken in the post.

Regular Dropbox share links should embed normally with img tags:

Apologies for the off-topic but that's a great picture.
