So if you have a post with 10 links in it, instead of 10 maps appearing, only 1 map would appear for the first link that we might embed.
This was what I was wanting to avoid on the WNKR/TNRC threads but on reflection I'm now wondering if this is really an issue. It was a problem when we did cut and paste lists on vBulletin but now we are setting rides up as events there should be no need to repost the link repeatedly. I do keep falling into the trap of trying to work out how to use this new forum in the same way I used to use the old one.

No, they just embed.
Same with YouTube, Garmin Connect Routes, Strava pages, etc.
If we know about the URL, the extra stuff is embedded.
What I am thinking of though, is limiting this. Instead of embedding everything, only embedding the first link that we know about in a URL.

Additionally, if we made this change then the embedded stuff would appear at the end of the post, above the attachment space.
