    Suggestion: embed tweets?

    https://dev.twitter.com/docs/embedded-tweets

    This seems like something that would be useful as we seem to be linking to twitter a lot more these days. Just a suggestion if we can have a "tweet" tag to directly embed tweets

    This would be fantastic, dealing with tweets that aren't quoted when using Tapatalk can be tedious.

    Yeah it isn't as easy to integrate as I expected it to be.

    Someone created a vbulletin plugin (it's in beta):

    Maybe worth taking a look. Thanks for looking into this again.

    I already looked into that one. The problem is that twitter has a quota on the amount of twits you can display from an external source and considering BG volume we're pretty much screwed unless we save a copy of them on BG servers.
