I've noticed recently that when I add a link to a post it is now automatically put into Embed tags - resulting in huge posts including any pictures in the linked pages. - as you can see in this link:


Previously "unfurl" tags were used - which just showed a small outline - and could be set to false so that only the raw link was presented.


Ive tried editing out the tags in BBCode mode - but they are put back in when the edits are saved.

Is there any way to alter this behaviour that I've missed?

Not really no, as it seems to have been part of the forum upgrade. Maybe it can be set back, or maybe Amir prefers this option.

You can embed a link... like this though using the insert link button or Ctrl+K. :)

Of course I can - I knew that - had just temporarily forgotten. Thanks for the reminder. :facepalm: :facepalm:


Still a little clunky compared with simply dropping the link in the post.

*heads back to edit huge post*

Huh?!
You know... I noticed that change, but I hadn't really noticed it. :facepalm:
I did rather run afoul of it earlier today posting a link in lieu of a quote in the humo(u)r thread. :(

 
I disabled the feature. But will only take effect on future posts.


Ahh - test incoming.


Brilliant - love it - back to the old way. Thanks.
