Default [Tech Question] Why are twitter links not showing anymore?
Noticed this for the last few days. Copying and pasting a twitter link used to load the video here, now it just copies as a link. Is Elon punishing the Barn for something? Maybe he's upset with the threads on electric cars?

I blame GSC3telsadood, he has lots of time to eff things up while recharging his toaster.

Links to twitter.com are now getting redirected to x.com. I'm guessing this really old forum software doesn't know how to handle that.

cause the address changed to 'x'. You have to replace 'x' with 'twitter' then they'll show up

When I'm copying links, they already use x, vs. twitter, and they aren't showing up, just the link. It's like I've fallen into the Mrvette universe.

instead of x.com you need to change the link to twitter.com

Test...

Edit: Changing the URL to twitter.com instead of x.com works. First URL below is x.com, second one is using twitter.com.

Forum software has nothing to do with it.

Any media that automatically embeds is a custom coded (by me) modification. I just added a new definition to recognize x.com links so they should now embed exactly the same as twitter.com links do.
