Is it me, or is embedded links turned off? Was this intentional? ---

I’m still seeing some. For example, if you look at the “What’s your new shiny” thread, there are some there. I’m not sure why some post as embedded links and some don’t, though. ---

I used the Ctrl-L function for this. Came up just fine. [Kingdom of Loathing](http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/) ---

I was thinking PadrinoFive7 meant links with embedded content, like this? > **[ThinkGeek - Shirts, Toys, Collectibles & More | GameStop](https://www.gamestop.com/toys-collectibles/thinkgeek?srp=1)** > > Shop for apparel, fun home and office decor, electronics, gadgets, and collectibles, find the perfect gift and more. Buy ThinkGeek products at GameStop. ---

I did the two above by posting the actual link in the message instead of using the link code or button. ---

That’s the odd thing. I use a regular old link, and it doesn’t embed at all. Maybe I don’t understand the requirements? A recent example: [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=203638748](http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=203638748) Edit: I’ve seen it embed other places, so it’s a bit odd that it doesn’t work here. Oh well. ---

Let me pop over to meta and see if they’ve changed the oneboxing behavior! ---

From what I’ve seen mentioned over at TDWTF, oneboxing only works for “approved” link domains. Anything else doesn’t get the behavior. The “approved” list is editable by admins though.
