… as for auction plugs, ect.
Thanks to @Mr. Perfect , he found how to post direct links once again. We don't know if this change is permanent as the Host has not replied back via HQ. Until then here's how to do it;

Paste link as a new post as before
The preview post will look like this;

The above is for 'Direct Links', such as auction side plugs.
This pertains primarily to auction links, which are unfriendly to the "preview content" default option and the other one next to the (as Joe put it) "dash/ minus sign", which removes any level of preview and just adds a clickable link (see Joe's post).

gives you this:
But for some reason, GB auction links do not play well with link preview formatting. So you have to use the "dash/ minus sign" (which is actually the "display as text" choice) as noted in Joe's post.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Thank you for the above added info.
