View, download, and export

I used to be able to copy a link, then replace "?dl=0" (or whatever) with "?raw=1" and the link would work on web forums such as vbulletin. I tried it today and it no longer works, even though links I previously posted on the exact same forum still do. Did something change with respect to default permissions or something? The link works for me in a standalone browser tab, but not in the forum itself.
The link worked in various browsers and even on another forum I tested on. It turns out the forum in question was blocking due to image size. When I made it smaller, it started to work. The problem is solved.
Hey @Charles M.33, thanks for posting on the Dropbox Community.
You can use raw=1 as a query parameter in your URL to directly render your files on your browser.
Having said that, could you let me know if:
Keep me posted!
