Topic: Mod or setting to preview a web page's "in-line"?

[rcane]

I'm looking for a way to show a preview (perhaps just a small inline image) of the landing page of a link--say, for a news article.

Is that a feature somewhere, or should I be looking for a mod?

That would be a mod.  Images of websites tend to cost money to generate thumbnails as it is resource intensive.

Ok, makes sense.

I guess i'll have to just settle for reminding folks to use *url=www.somewww.com] A CLICKABLE WORD [/url]

Perhaps a mod exists to make putting a link title in a little easier for some folks.   Time to start searching.

there is a mod called descriptive links  -- no IMAGE, but it relplaces links with the title value of the target page

unfortunately the creator removed the download, it's a shame because it works pretty well....
there is this one though : https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=835
but I for some reason couldn't get it to work correctly...who knows, I probably messed something up somewhere

the title link is nice.  you can just type, for example, www.weather.com and it will convert it to a hyperlink.

i couldn't get the convert_url.php to load up yet.
