As others pointed out, it takes time for sites to be able to embed content from different social media companies, particularly when there is a domain change. While X.com is a real website, for the most part, it redirects to twitter.com when it comes to sharing links. Also, our software provider has not yet provided a conversion to X (formerly Twitter) for social. Once an update is available, it'll be implemented.

@Errol
This evening December 15, 2023, tweets stopped embedding.
As always, with x.com just the URL shows.
NEW: with twitter.com, the words and name and date of the tweet show but in text format and there are no images.
And the date seems to display in UTC instead of in my local time.

I tried to post this tweet
https://twitter.com/bethharrisap/status/1735825564169306583

and this is what I got:

I looked through some previously posted threads here at SON and all the embedded tweets are displaying the same way right now.

@Errol  Wednesday morning January 10, 2024.
Previously-embedded tweets no longer display correctly.  New ones won't either.   Embedding is working elsewhere, so I think this time it's a SON issue.

It's not working on the main SON page for the embedded tweet in this link:
https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2024/01/general-hospital-2023-end-credits-people-behind-the-scenes-port-charles

Nor is it working in the associated SoapsLine board thread for same topic.  

But the tweet itself is still active.

Update, twitter embedding is still working on several other messageboards on other hosting platforms, which is why I thought it was a SON issue.   
But I noticed it's not working on a soaphub article and on a news site. 

In every case/place that I saw embedding wasn't working, I tested by clicking on the outline or date of the tweet, and the tweet itself opens in a new tab fine, but it won't display embedded.
So it's not just SON-related ...
but it's not as widespread as the mid-December 2023 problem was.

update January 13.
I still cannot see embedded tweets in Chrome. But nobody else seems to be mentioning an issue so I just checked other browsers.
I can see embedded tweets properly displayed in Firefox.
But not in Microsoft Edge and not in Chrome.
I'm viewing from a Windows PC.

Using your link from earlier in the thread above, I'm not seeing any issues with embedding Tweets simply by pasting the URL. Using a Mac and Chrome - Version 120.0.6099.216 (Official Build) (arm64). 

Do you have an updated version of Chrome? or Edge?

    • I have no idea why Gio would go to Sonny first since he told Emma he thought Sonny knew about him all along. Maybe to clarify if Sonny knew?  Considering Sonny didn't know Dante was his son back then it doesn't really matter. I am sure Sonny will make some wise parallel about his father leaving and his mother dying or being lied to by Olivia and Gio will see the light.
    • I know I have heard Orpheus mention it, at least in passing.  I still don't know why exactly he hates John though.  It seems Orpheus was heavily leaning into a Stefano moment of Marlena obsession, but then he always wanted to murder her a bunch so it's unclear.
    • I always thought that whoever pitched his return story in 2016 just didn't do their homework, and didn't know that the real Roman was the one who killed Orpheus' wife.
    • Xander is Victor's son, but thought he was his nephew until Victor's will.  His mom is an alcoholic who ran Sarah down then left town.  He's got a kid with Sarah and then is related to the rest of the Kiriakis brood. I would argue Orpheus lost his purpose years ago.  I lost the plot with Orpheus when his entire beef was with John and not Roman.  The person who actually killed his wife. Too be kind I'll just say it looks like Chandler was a bit out of practice at the old acting game.  He's never stopped smirking.
    • He is Victor's son so Bo and Philip are his brothers and Brady and Shawn are his nephews. Justin has remained his first cousin

    • -- I didn't want to be the first person to mention it, because I've complained so much about Chandler Massey's smirking and grinning in the past. He just cannot get through a scene without breaking -- that grin broke through every time he ran into another character today. He looks young -- and good -- but I am not a fan of this acting. He's not trying. -- I agree with others here about this goodbye. The bandaged John is a throwback and a full circle moment, but it's gone on too many days already. I especially hate the "He's getting better" stuff. That doesn't work since we all know how this ends. -- I'm glad to see the return of all these characters and I love the flashbacks, but I think DAYS could have done all that without the bandaged exit.
    • That's the one thing I really dislike about all this. Orpheus should not be alive.  If anything, I hope he's erased from existence from here on. He has no purpose now that John is dead. 
    • Yeah, it's so undignified. And looked it! But man, you can tell Stephen Nichols, etc. are not acting. They should've canned the fake voice guy at the very least. Great, now I have to try to remember who the fúck Xander is related to.
    • I am the first to say I don't have the perfect scenario for John's death in my head.  I think it would have had something to do with saving the world from Orpheus and killing Orpheus once and for all, but losing his own life in the effort. I am actually sad Orpheus is still alive and well doing dastardly deeds.  I GET the saving Bo idea.  I just am not sure I want to say, "Oh, yeah, John died in a meth lab.  Some kid attacked him and he burned to death" I love all the actors coming back to pay tribute.  It's lovely.  I think it would have been smarter for Marlena, Kayla, etc to say this is grave for John-it's time to say goodbye.  Not add in all the "he's doing great and on the road to recovery".  I assume it's a nod to Drake about always fighting, but, man, if you didn't know Drake had passed the rug would be pulled out from under you next week as an audience member.
