How to disable link previews in forum post ?

Hi,

Anyone can tell me how to disable link previews from my posts ? Its really slowing down to my users. 

 

Thanks

Hi @Leon Bollerup there's an option you can search called Automatically embed links? in the Admin CP that can disable this.

But that will auto automatically disable auto media embeds (such as YouTube)

Can't we disable just for site links any way? I tried to search but I did not find any option. Could you share a screen of it ?

Thanks

If possible you should keep it enabled, the Rich Embeds work really well with forum topics, clubs and galleries.

If it's slowing down your website you should try and troubleshoot it..

Users can choose not to embed the link at the time of posting as well.

yes, except that option is always on the bottom of the post:

which -- in case of creating large posts / FAQs with multiple embeds -- takes a lot of scrolling back and forth. I like the option, but perhaps make it inline on top of the embed instead of the bottom? Speeds up content creation considerably. Besides the fact it currently doesn't even get noticed.
