Title: New thumbnail links
Post by: Administrator on Wednesday 17 December 2008, 10:01:57 am
Links to remote websites are now shown in a different colour, this makes them easy to spot in large posts.
Additionally, if you hover your mouse over the link a thumbnail image of the link will pop up after a few seconds.

You don't need to do anything special when posting a link, it's automatic.

Give it a go here.

Thumbnails are on by default, if you want to turn this feature off,
Click on "My Layout" on the left and remove the checkbox for 'Show small thumbnails for external linked websites.'

Hi,

Is there a user option to toggle the previews on and off?

Thanks

I do like the colour of the links but I find the preview unnecessary... a toggle would be a great option so us wet blankets could turn it off...:-)

Well when you are dealing with posting comps from a giant list and everytime you go near the links you get a preview it makes it more challenging :-)

You can now turn the thumbnails off if you don't like them.

Click on "My Layout" on the left and remove the checkbox for 'Show small thumbnails for external linked websites.'
