Hi everyone! I'm experiencing an issue with URL link previews on boards where the titles are being cut off with '...' instead of showing the full title text. This is affecting my workflow since I can't see the complete information at a glance. Its change since MIRO has updated the design elements of the thumbnails. 

Has anyone found effective workarounds for this? *Not a text box with the URL, I need the visual image. 

 

EXAMPLE:

The OLD URL thumbnail looked WAY better. Sharing images below of the OLD url preview first image below VS the new url (second image, you can no longer read the headings)… Really annoying and one o the KEY FEATURES of why I 

 

 

Hi ​@Reanna Browne 

I think you are not alone, someone else recently reported this: https://community.miro.com/ask-the-community-45/any-way-to-continue-using-the-old-link-embed-design-26000

If I am not wrong in my understanding, ​@Robert Johnson said: previously these embedded links were somehow just objects. Now, there is a brand new catagory of objects called “Formats” and when you click on them, they open up in their own dedicated focus mode window. So from a usability standpoint that is supposed to be an advantage - you can click and then have complete focus on the content without any distractions from your board.

But from a “how does the link look” standpoint, you are right, they tweaked how it looks. Personally I see an advantage here: at least for me, all the embedded links have the same size, whereas previously they would have different sizes - and that made it difficult for me to make multiple embedded links look nice. But I absolutely see your point about the text getting chopped off.

The only suggestion I could make does take a few mouse-clicks more effort: (1) navigate to https://www.opengraph.xyz/. (2) enter the URL; (3) take a quick screenshot of the thumbnail; (4) paste the screenshot into Miro; (5) add the URL below the screenshot as text.

Sorry . . . I can’t say more than that but maybe other people could chime in?

Cheers, Ken
