How do you embed a link?

Paging scho, he's been in IT over 3 decades.

What do you mean by embed, exactly?

Posting one should make it click able. There's a little globe/link thing to embed a link in a title or whatever, using the url tags.

There are various embed options with youtube, Twitter, etc.

ok. I'll try it.

I always have to quote someone who embedded something already and then change the link in the quoted post to my link then copy and paste into a new post. Because I'm stupid or trying to do it on a phone is stupid.

never mind, figured it out. Thanks!

Congrats on figuring it out.

If you are anything like me, you will-re-forget how it is done in about 3 or 4 weeks

And still have the internal conversation of "I should write that down"... "nah, I'll remember ".... *forgets 10 minutes later*

You have to click the URL button on the WebTV.

I write it down but forget where I wrote it down

I think you need to sharpen the eraser. It's at the other end of the graphite stick in the wood. Who know how those damn witches get thems in der.

Don't forget to fasten down the shapin' thingy, those hungry old boys get hungry and darn fly off if not secured to the wood.

All hail Scho! King of Prostitutes and IT!

I'm assuming Scho hacked your computer and showed you how to do it?

I'm still trying to find Chiefs Icons.

Hello Just stopping by to say I love KC Chiefs Football!

Anyone else not able to embed Twitter links all of a sudden. Up till a few days ago I could embed but now I get this message:

Sorry, we can't create an embed for that. It may have been deleted or made private. Please try again.

Yep. I’m on iPhone and not working as of today.
Seems like an “X” issue

Odd. Got a specific example? Just tried a few tweets, and it seems fine to me.

One of the Times Ours / Only Weird Games guys called it TwiX the other day. I've decided that I will call it that from now on. :)

These are a couple from the CJ thread, but both work for me (and someone embedded one of them in the thread).

Yep. None work for me. Not a CP issue

When I’m on the tweet and click “embed link” it says “post not found” within twitter

Desktop version of safari doesn’t work either. .

Maybe because Twitter is absolute trash.

Does it work if you copy the URL and paste it into https://publish.twitter.com?

Any tweet that I try to embed doesn’t let me now, worked perfectly up to a few days ago. For example, I tried to embed this tweet just now to see if it would work but it gave me that message of not being able to. I see some people are able to embed but some posters have said they are having trouble too.

Weird. Wonder if TwiX broke something that's not impacting all users. Certainly wouldn't be abnormal for shit to get broken on that site.

Works fine on PC... Chrome...

Nope. Doesn’t work that way either. Although I was not aware of that method, so thanks!

Meck, I keep scrolling down to see if you were successful at the embed.
Getting a little impatient…
