Phil Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I thought I had done an announcement for this a while ago (perhaps lost in the purge). Regardless, here's how to embed tweets: 1. Copy the URL of the tweet you wish to share. If you are on a desktop, select the arrow to the top right of a tweet from your feed and click on "Copy link to Tweet", or if the tweet is already open, simply copy the URL string in your browser. 2. Paste that URL as a LINK, and then paste the tweet's ID number (the string of numbers at the end) between TWEET brackets, like the below: [TWEET]1088084703184338945[/TWEET] Link: https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1088084703184338945 This will allow the tweet itself to embed into the post, and allow mobile users, who cannot see the embedded tweet, a link to view it via mobile. -- The end result looks like this: Link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Bumping this for relevance. Please, if you're posting tweets, include the link for mobile users. When using the app, tweets do not embed, so the link is very helpful to ensure everyone is able to see the contents.

josh Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I'm not on a mobile. Of all my devices, nothing shows tweets except my iphone 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 All the more reason to include the link to the tweet itself. Worst case, you can click it and view the contents on Twitter.com. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk OK, so with us sun setting the branded app, this is no longer an issue. In fact, Tapatalk's app is so smart that it populates tweets literally through a simple hyperlink. In order to have tweets render on both desktop and mobile, I'd still ask you use the same TWEET BBcode as illustrated in the OP, but there's no longer a need to also include the link to the tweet beneath it.

BrooksBurner Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Is it possible to add a shortcut button to plop the TWEET brackets into a response, both in Quick Reply and an Advanced Reply format? Similar to how there's clickable links for other "wrap" options like QUOTE, HTML, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Yeah, I can't recall off the top of my head where that gets added in, but I know it's possible. I'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 I gotta add an icon for it, but I've added it to Quick Reply for now. You should see it next to QUOTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
