Hey everyone!
Sorry if this as an incredibly dumb question, but I just can't figure it out on my own.
I've been working on a story and about two months ago I wanted to put a cover image for my story on the first page. I also wanted the image to be a link to the next passage. So I used the following code to refer to an image in the public folder of my dropbox:
<<link [img[https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71163899/ouroboros (words%201024px).jpg][Ouroboros]]>>
This worked perfectly. The image displayed and the link worked. Until I checked it about a week ago and it was broken. I hadn't changed anything and the image was still in the public folder on Dropbox. So what on Earth happened? is it possible that Dropbox has changed the way the public folder works?
Thanks in advance, you people are so wonderful at helping me with my silly issues.

In my experience public accessible DropBox URL's generally look like: ... the dl=1 parameter tells the server to allow direct access to the file instead of wrapping it in HTML.
I renamed the image and copied the new link which had DL=0 at the end. That didn't work so I changed it to DL=1 and now it works perfectly.
Thanks so much!
