URL box covers preview image in comments view

Open Glazed opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

Bug Description

Just a minor gripe: I like to read comics by just going to the comments section, but the URL bar showing the link covers the bottom of comics. Most often on XKCD comics.

Expected Behaviour

The UI shouldn't cover the preview image.

Thanks for the feedback!

This one might be a weird one to handle, simply because it could be mitigated by having the OP upload the image (or point to the image URL) rather than the link. If you take a closer look at the post, the OP links to the xkcd comic using it's link (https://xkcd.com/3080/) rather than the image (https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/tennis_balls.png). If the image URL was used instead, then the thumbnail preview would only show the image and not the URL.

We could resolve this by moving the link information below the actual link preview, but that would increase the spacing for all link posts which might not be ideal (and might also look slightly off depending on the scenario).
