I meant 'slash' not dash - Yep, I added that. Now it is gone.

I don't have anything to share. The only thing I changed is the background - didn't look well on dark background - nothing else. Probably you have other mistakes. Can you share the place where you have tested this dummy folder? (link to the place, don't cite the node)

 

ADD: By the way:

What about "only ASCII symbols" ??!!! Is the quote above an ASCII symbol?

Again, take more care!

    No, I am talking about the code you created and posted at your site in order to link to the dummy folder. Can you share the code so I can see what you did? The page in question is password accessible only. I can't share that because I would have to give you the logins. I can give you another page at my site that is the same coding, will that help you?

    Again, it's one to one the yous. Only the mistakes, I mentioned, have been fixed - nothing more.

    ADD: I see you regularly place wrong quotes! Check what you have used on your side.

    Well, I have a website that encompasses 40 years as an artist and there are many many links I have created there. Lol. The Dropbox link seems to be a real problem. I don't think Dropbox really wants users to create such links or it wouldn't be so problematic. Thanks anyhow.
