And now Twitter links render on CelticsStrong. Just include the full link to the tweet, and it should automatically appear in the forum (remove the brackets below):
https://[twitter].com/celtics/status/1221120723374235648

Feature requests always welcome =)!

That's awesome. It'll be good to be able to get the text and source for tweets without having to copy/paste/format mutiple times

Probably can. I'm gonna check on it. Ultimately I'd like to overhaul the whole post editing interface... but that's big. YouTube links seem like another good candidate. Thanks for the idea!

And YouTube it is =).

Nudge me if any links don't work or look funny etc.... the forum software is beyond picky, but seems to work with these!

Those Britt Johnson popups...is that also your fault, Byennie?

She's easy on the eyes, I'm not complaining.  Although I'm not sure about 'The Fumble'.  It seems like B/R quality, at best.

Just a reminder that these types of features come at the expense of our privacy. When that link makes a call to Twitter's servers some of your browser metadata (cookies) goes along with it. Maybe you care, maybe you don't. Ditto for the other social media buttons that appear at the top of the page now.

FWIW, the Twitter embeds specifically include a "do not track" setting which I have enabled, and our ad network complies with IAB, Euro and recent California 2020 privacy standards.

That said, any integration with ads and social networks is less private than none, no doubt. No way around it.

I would also recommend checking out both Brave browser (https://brave.com/) and the latest Safari privacy features.

And finally... I'd like to offer a full ad-free version at some point which could maybe bundle some privacy features. Very hard to price/ make it work at this scale, but I'm open to suggestions there as well...
