Embedding tweets
Is there a BBCode for this forum for embedding tweets, or some other way to do it? (I know there is SOME way 'cause I've seen tweets re-posted here.) Seems [tweet][/tweet] no work, although that code is available on other forums using the phpBB software.
GAH!
Re: Embedding tweets
I think what you may have seen is tweets that were somehow turned into images and then posted here. I have never figured out how to do that myself, so I have been limited to posting only tweets that I have already found converted to images.
Re: Embedding tweets
[tweet][/tweet] might only be available in more advanced versions of phpBB than is being used here.

Bwahahaha! 
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Embedding tweets
In my hopelessly old way, you can use the Snip tool from the evil Microft. Snip the image and "save as" a jpg.
I'm sure there are smarter ways to share that on Plan B. My method is to add the photo to my Facebook (for my eyes only) which provides an image location that I can copy/paste here
This reminds me - I still have to find out how my friends reply to WhatsApp messages including the quote of the message they are answering. And how on earth do they delete a message sent to the wrong place so that the recipient sees only "Message deleted"? Mysteries of the universe - History Channel should do a series

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Re: Embedding tweets
I do a screenshot; post it to Imgur; crop it; and use the BBS code supplied by Imgur. Like this (badly cropped to show). Cumbersome - but it works and takes me about 20 seconds. I'm sure there are better/quicker ways to do it but I'm used to it.
Re: Embedding tweets
I screenshot on phone, if it is too big to post from the phone I send it to my email and then post it from the PC.
