[Suggestion] Embedding Tweets

[WislaHD]

I think it would be a cool forum improvement to be able to embed tweets directly in posts instead of having be forced to link to them. I've seen it on other forums.

We as a community are pretty big on twitter and it is also a source of a significant portion of our news and updates, and the prevalence of tags such as #TOpoli on twitter is massive.

A good idea that we are looking into.

I would like a way to block tweets as well without resorting to the use of browser addons.

They can be turned on by default, but can be hidden per user preference.

True that many people use Twitter for convenience and brevity, but there are some who are plain annoyed by them (yes, I can get old-fashioned at times).

I will not bother ranting there.

WislaHD can you send me an example of another Forum and how they do it?

Would this work on our forum?

I notice a lot of people posting tweets in forum posts lately, or taking pictures of tweets and posting them.
