Why is my ISP network banned from accessing Dropbox?

Hello all,

Has there some restrictions set? I suddenly cannot reach to Dropbox using one of my ISP:

 ... 🤔 Why? As seems I'm not banned (nor my account)... The above appears with particular network connection only though I can reach the site, but the site "cuts" me. 🤷

Dropbox discriminates this link. Why?

    Hi Sheena, thanks for interested in. 🙋 The server issue was active from Thursday to Saturday inclusive. Since Sunday (July 21) lunch (local time), no more issues. 🎉🤞 I hope and believe it will stay so.

    Thanks again, have a nice day and weekend ahead.

    Hi @Sheena,

    I want to complain about other Dropbox forum dis-function that got up recently. For whatever reason, I cannot tag forum member, using @ (at) symbol anymore. To be able tag you here, I had to edit the post source - pretty inconvenient. Even more, it's NOT only to me - your colleagues as seems have the same issue as could be seen here, here, here, etc. I believe it's some small bug that asks for to be freed outside forum by somebody. 😉 I believe too that you can.

    Also, I have one proposal. Currently, in post editor is missing a way to format some part of the text as inline code - something that may gets done by <code></code>. I think would be an easy way to be added a small button that wraps marked text in such a way (take a look here for an example and focus on formatting of 'startOAuth2PKCE' there). Do you agree? 🧐

    Thanks in advance.

    That's a known issue and they're working on it.

    If you expand the toolbar, do you have the code option?

     

     

     

     

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    
    <h1>Code Editor</h1>
    <p>It seems to work just fine.</p>
    
    </body>
    </html>

    Hm..🤔 I asked for inline code. Does the button you point do this? 🧐 Rhetoric of course. 🙂 As seems on the same screenshot, you posted, it doesn't!

     

    Rich, this button may include code tag, but it is not the main one and definitely not inline (despite itself is inline). The main tag there is the pre tag - a block tag!

    Hope this sheds some light. 😉

     

    PS: I believe the following screenshots show the differences:

    Do they?

    Hi Здравко, as Mark mentioned, this is a known issue with we’re investigating currently. And thanks for the suggestion regarding an inline code tag, that’s not something we’re going to be able to implement but I appreciate the suggestion 😊

    Thanks anyway... 🙂

    Just an underline: It is implemented already!!! My screenshot shows a Greg post that I linked to above - a post here in the forum, already existing that you can see. In this context nothing needs to be implemented, since already existed. My suggestion is just a way to be used convenient - nothing more.

    Have a nice day.
