Raven's Corner of Madness & Musings

Argent, a tower gules within a laurel wreath, on a chief sable three towers argent. Huh? Heraldry can often sound like a foreign language, but can be fun once you get the swing of things. I'll be posting name & device updates, research that I find interesting, helpful guides, and other fun bits that I come across. Want a name and device to call your very own? We can make that happen.

FYI about Dropbox shared links (don't panic - everything is fine)....

I got an email from Dropbox about some precautions that they have put into place. I was also notified that the link marked on the forums for the Shire Roster file, was no longer working.

To my current heraldic clients: If you are unable to get into your submission files folder from the links that I sent you, please let me know and I will reset the links on Dropbox for you. I still have full access to them, but the sharing links may have been effected. I will keep these files on my personal Dropbox until they are passed, but have two office specific redundancies on two separate cloud systems linked to the Shire Herald's email account (in addition to the pending files living on my personal Dropbox). The archives on the office cloud systems are just the scanned PDF files of each submission (name, device, and badges are all separate files), but the links to your folders on my personal Dropbox, are the layered Photoshop files to make adjustments and modifications easier. 

Here is the email from Dropbox:


Hi Maddelena,

We’ve provided details on our blog about a web vulnerability that affects shared links to documents containing hyperlinks. This issue isn’t exclusive to Dropbox, and we haven’t seen any exploitation of the vulnerability. However, as a precautionary measure, we’ve disabled shared links that were created before May 5 to file types (such as PDF or Word docs) that might contain a hyperlink.

We take security very seriously, so we appreciate your patience while we make sure your files are safe.

- The Dropbox Team


I am very glad that Dropbox takes these extra measure to keep files safe and I myself have taken measures to keep both the archives and the pending submissions from vanishing. The files themselves are just fine.  The only part that has been altered is the shared links to said files.  No worries.  Everything is still chained up and secured in the restricted section of the herald library. I'm also currently working on obtaining a guard dragon for additional security.

    Hello!!! I'm Maddelena de Ricci, but you can call me Raven. I'm the groups local herald and still very much  'green', but am always trying to better my skills. Still trying to get my footing, but always up for questions. If I don't know the answer, I will hunt it down for you.
