Did something change in the way the site rendered images about 1-2 weeks ago?

I've been posting images from the games I deal on Dropbox, which used to work (even despite recent changes) pretty well for updating the boards at Again and Rainbow.

Something changed about a week or so ago, and it seems browser/OS dependent. On my work machine (an older MacBook) using Chrome they render fine. On my home machine (a newer Apple Silicon MacBook) I get the "broken image" link with the alt text "[Linked Image from dropbox.com]". I also see the broken links on my iPhone.

I thought it was just me for a while but it seems at least a few others are seeing this as well.... mostly with the dropbox links which don't offer a traditional image.

This might be a Dropbox thing and not a DreamLyrics thing but I would like to at least ask the question "did you guys change anything in the last couple of weeks" related to image tags?

Nope. Generally we try not to make changes as they make upgrading less compatible. Could be Apple or Dropbox?

OK, an hour of browsing and coffee-drinking debugged that it was in fact Dropbox changing something, and the fix is to change the leading "www" to "dl" to restore the previous behaviour.

All sorted!
