I’ll try asking about this here, in this smaller thread–I’ve gone through the 400+ “Tips and Tricks” thread and didn’t see my problem (though it’s possible I missed it).
The issue: my links nearly always result in a GINORMOUS image, instead of the nice thumbnail images I see in other people’s links. What am I doing wrong?
I researched this not only in this sub-forum but on sites that discuss Discourse. For example, this 2015 discussion implies that I’m “clicking on the image” or some such thing (but I’m NOT clicking on the image):
Again, I am NOT clicking on any images. When I post a link I save the link in what I assume is the usual way (by left-clicking the URL in the address bar, then pasting it in my SDMB post).
Any ideas? I hate the way those massive images distort my posts!
ETA: this link has a nice thumbnail, instead of having the graphic be 1200 pixels across. But I didn’t do anything other than what I usually do when posting a link! ???
