Cannot embed tweets -- this is happening for me and others.  

 @Vee said on another thread that he cannot embed tweets on the first try, but it works if he tries multiple times over and over until it works.   He said that for one post, it took him twelve tries to get one tweet to embed. 

I've tried over and over with no success at all.

@Errol  I know you've been busy at Day of Days and I totally appreciate/anticipate your reporting from that event.  That does take priority!

But when you can, please see if you can fix the twitter embedding issue.  We can't post tweets from Day of Days on the D.o.D thread, and that's what I find fun, all the social media of the annual event that fans and cast post.

On every tweet, there are three dots (...) in the same line as the user name. Click it, click "Embed post," choose your display option, hit "Copy Code", come to SON, go into "Source" in the response bar, paste the source in, hit "Source" again and then "Submit Reply".

This is ultimately a Twitter issue at present, as others who use the Invision platform are experiencing the same issue on their own boards. This is not something Errol is going to be able to address at present time.

oooh  That's how I embed instagram posts and facebook posts, using the three dots to get the embed code, then posted that code in the source screen, exactly with the specific sequence of steps that you described.
Didn't realize that works with twitter. Thanks!


Now testing with a random tweet ... yes it works!
 


Okay now testing embedding a random twitter video via the code ...
 

 

 


This is awesome.  Thank you so much @Liberty City

 

If anyone doesn't know what they meant by the source,
back in 2022 I made some screenshots of how to do it in instagram here:

Thanks, @Liberty City!

Yes, this is a Twitter/X issue. I have the same problem with WordPress when writing articles. It used to auto embed (like here on the boards), but now I have to click on the embed setting on Twitter/X just to open a separate page to get the embed code and add the HTML to my article page.

I noticed that when embedding a twitter video via "three-dots" method, the tweet frame appears then disappears,
so what remains on the messageboard post is the video only without the tweet frame  -- which is fine, unless you want to display the text of the tweet with its video.

    • Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!
    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role

    • I do think Ben should come back. I think Max Bowden is all wrong for Ben.
    • Thank you, been waiting so long for this, and I appreciate how much work it is typing this all out and creating the charts for us!
