XF 1.4 Unable to link to images hosted via Dropbox

[The Grand Potentate]

Is there some reason this doesn't work? Have a member who wants to link to his images on a public folder. Here's a link I added to my Dropbox:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/041xuvljio0ndbl/Extremely-cute-kitten_large.jpg?dl=0

Via the IMG tag I get this

If I change the url to a non-secure and get rid of the ?dl=0, I get this:

Any thoughts on getting this working?

Using an IMG tag won't work because it's not an image.

It's a web page that contains an image.

Rather than getting rid of the ?dl=0 if you actually change it to ?dl=1 that may work...

EDIT: Yeah. Changing the dl parameter to 1 signals the browser to serve it in its raw format rather than embedded in a Dropbox page.

Thanks Chris. Is there any way to get the software to automatically recognize this sort of thing or would that require some sort of special media code?

The latter. Far too many permutations to be able to guess about.
