Help - Link Poster for Gyanmarg Groups

How to Use

1 Right-click on any link on a webpage to see the option Post this link to Gyanmarg Groups
2 Right-click anywhere else on a page to see Post page URL to Gyanmarg Groups
3 A popup will appear showing the URL, a snippet box and a group selector
4 Write your snippet (optional) and select your target group
5 Click Post

💡 Pro Tip

You can also click the extension icon in your toolbar to post the current page URL directly!

Snippets (text posted with the link)

Below the URL there is a snippet box. Whatever you write in it is posted to the group above the link, so readers get the context before they click.

Write anything you like - a summary, a quote, a question, a translation.
The box has 5 rows and can be resized by dragging its corner.
Line breaks are kept, so paragraphs survive.
Leave it empty and only the link is posted.

The “Include snippet in post” checkbox

The checkbox sits right below the snippet box and is checked by default. It decides whether the text of the box is posted or not:

Checked - the snippet is posted above the link.
Unchecked - only the link is posted, your text stays in the box for later.

💡 Pro Tip

Untick it to keep a note ready in the box without posting it - handy when you post the same link to several groups with different notes.

X (Twitter) posts

When the URL is an X (Twitter) post, the text of the post is fetched automatically and dropped into the same snippet box. There is nothing extra to do - the X post works exactly like any other link.

The fetched text is fully editable - edit, shorten or replace it as you wish before posting.
Links inside the post are removed, the text and the paragraph breaks are kept.
Very long (X Premium) posts are sometimes cut by X itself. A note under the box tells you when that happened.
If the text cannot be fetched, the box simply stays empty and you can write your own note.

📝 How the post looks

Text written by you is posted under the heading 📝 Note

Text taken from an X post is posted under the heading 𝕏 <author name>
