There I was just the other day, re-editing

> Just the other day I was browsing e.g., and I saw this link, and I clicked it, and… Well, you click it and see if you are happy to where it takes you. And answer if where it takes you is where you expected, considering the “brand name” it...

and the preview was looking great:

But upon saving my edit, well… “Hey, bogus, man.”  
That sharp looking link preview you see in the right half of the screen  
was no more! We’re talking “bait and switch.”  
Apparently a post can only have one big link preview. Fair enough.  
But then the right side of the screen should not get the  
user all excited about something that is not about to happen.

So, please show the second etc. link previews the same way they will look when the edit is saved.

OK, you are probably only rendering part of the page so have lost track of which link preview this is, (first or not first)… but that’s bad.

Thanks.
