Mavric Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks to @DaveH, you can now embed tweets in you posts! It's very similar to embedding a YouTube video. You simply past the URL of the tweet: Perhaps someone knows of a shorter way to get the URL but the way I've been going about it is to go to the Tweeter's ( ) page and click on the Tweet you want so that it's opened in it's own page. Then simply copy and past the URL into your Huskerboard post. It has to have "status" in the URL for the board to process it correctly. 3 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Also, at the moment, when you first submit your post, only the URL will show up. You have to refresh the page to see the actual Tweet you embedded. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 You can grab the necessary link by clicking the time of the tweet (not totally intuitive, I know): (So for this one, you'd right click where it says "9m" -- the tweet was posted 9 minutes ago -- and "copy link address"). 4 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 See, I knew there had to be an easier way. Just have to ask someone smarter than me how to do it. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 You can also use the Details link at the bottom of a tweet after you open it: I think zoog's way is easier though 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Also, there is a known issue with this feature and certain script/adblock browser extensions where only the link code will show, not the embedded tweet. This is an issue with the extension on your browser, NOT with HuskerBoard. I know this because I currently have this issue. I'll post a solution when I figure out exactly what's causing this. If someone else finds a fix first, please post it here. 3 Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Great stuff! I have been hoping this feature would be figured out for some time. I think it makes posting tweets much "cleaner." Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Very cool. Great work Huskerboard staff dudes Quote Link to comment

If someone else finds a fix first, please post it here. Figured out this issue. I've been using an anti-tracking addon for Firefox called Blur (f.k.a. "DoNotTrack"). For some reason, that was blocking the embedded tweets. I removed it, and voila! I see the embedded tweets. If you use Blur, either get rid of it or figure out how to white-list HuskerBoard. 1 Quote Link to comment
