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.

Dropbox isnt a hosting site, it shouldnt be used as one for reasons exactly like this. Due to the number of posts on this today I suspect that there has been a decision to change how links work/render which has caused them to fail. This is not the first time they've done this, and it wont be the last. Similar posts are here (videos) and here (images)

 

Your best bet is to use a proper hosting site which is designed and intended to host.
