Why do I NOT see a preview box, when I write a post
This is correct. If you want to see the preview box, then you have to exit the admin area.
What you have to do is, save/update your post and then click on “View post” and then you see it.
Why does the preview box sometimes does not show up?
Sometimes there are not enough data to fill the preview box.
We do not support pdf-links, mp3-links, m4-links, …
Only html pages are supported.
Why does the preview box sometimes shows up only after reload?
It needs time to collect data from other webpages
and sometimes we have to make a screenshot from the page.
That needs some seconds.
When you click reload, then the data are available/collected/cached.
