Allow a href (local) and H1/H2 tags in forum posting?
Subject: Forum Editor – Frustrating HTML Restrictions Hello, me again! I tried posting an idea for the markup/screenshot feature, but ran into multiple restrictions in the forum editor. I kept getting this annoying error: Content not published (links to forum entries, should be allowed!) Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: a, a (class), a (data-lia-auto-title), a (data-lia-auto-title-active) And then again: Content not published Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: span (data-testid) And most frustrating of all: Content not published Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: h1 This makes it really hard to write a structured post. Could you please either allow standard HTML tags (like headers (h1/h2) and a href links), or remove the formatting/link buttons from the editor if they cause errors? Thanks, Alex
Getting an error that I've hit the number of invites when trying to add many people to my Paper doc.
A friend recommended I use Dropbox to save and send large file, for a while it was working good but I kept getting limit error meanwhile my account is already upgraded so I shouldn’t be getting limit errors when trying to share file with my recipients. Is there a way to fix this because it’s becoming really frustrating.
Endless CAPTCHA loop when logging into my Dropbox account on Windows 11
When trying to login to my dropbox account on my Win11 desktop PC I have to make a puzzle. After the puzzle I do get the confirmation that I am actual a human. But it is followed by a toast-message stating: "The CAPTCHA response was not verified successfully, please try again.". I have tried in Chrome, Chrome Incognito, Edge, but all three show the same error-toeast message. I also tried rebooting PC and empty the cache of the browser, but without succes. Suggestions are welcome.
Missing database files and they're not in the deleted files page
Having a bad time with Dropbox this morning; I have raised a customer ticket directly with Dropbox, but wanted to check with the Community as well. My primary use case for Dropbox these days is to use it to host my Keepass database that I access from multiple devices, and my partner also does the same. The set up had been working quite fine for years. Things started to get hairy when the file streaming stuff (or whatever Dropbox calls it) launched. But it mostly worked. Till today. My wife first started seeing errors in her Dropbox client saying "Files marked as online only cannot be opened by some apps on your computer. A fix is on the way" or words to that effect. I checked my computer and sure enough I could not access those files as well. But here's where I started to panic - the crucual files and folder is missing even in the web console. There is no trace of it! Not even in the Deleted files tab. I have learned my lesson and will migrate out to a proper family-oriented password management system. But first I need to get my files. Any one has any clues what is going on?
People are unable to access the ZIP file I sent them via shared link.
Greetings, I just dropped a ZIP file into a subdirectory of the "...DropBox\Public..." folder. I need a small group of people to access (download) this file as part of my science project. I created a link to the ZIP file via the Copy Link feature (Right-click->Dropbox->Copy Dropbox Link" and sent the link out to my group. However everyone is having problems accesing the file. They get cryptic messages like "That didn't work for some reason. If it's a fluke, it might work if you refresh the page. You can also ask us for help." I can access and download the file just fine using the public link. So the link itself is good. Something in the system is blocking access to the ZIP file. It's not a limit violation since just a handful of people are trying to access it. The ZIP file is about 11 MB in size so not too large. I need help in determining why people can't access the file. Is there a way to get diagnostics so I don't have to guess what's wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
