Thank you. I stumbled on the upgrade yesterday and it is wonderful for a twitter wizard.

This is what an embedded tweet looks like using the new feature. Also, happy 9th birthday to Twitter. Hard to believe it has only been around that long.

One more. Here is how a Vine looks when you embed one using the Embed Media feature...

Tom is there any way to be able to embed the media from the ACC website?

Go to youtube, and look for the media under "ACC Digital Network."

I was trying to do it the easy (lazy) way of just taking it directly off their website.

I will see if this is possible. Probably will have to wait until this weekend though. I am kind of buried at the moment. It would be great to add it to the list, no question.

Thnaks Tom... no hurry.

Why would anyone ever think of going to Rovils, Scoot and 24Seven...this board is one of the most feature laden boards I've seen out there. Thanks Tom and Tom!

Tell Fishy his board is falling behind.

Your spelling is horrible, Mark. We should get a spellcheck feature next.

If any of you are seeing blank posts from me you need to check your system and see what is being blocked now that we are embedding tweets and vines, etc.

Would somebody be so kind as to give us semi-tech challenged posters a nudge in the right direction? I'm not sure what to do with "check your system" [not in any way a pot shot at you, CL].

 

[upperdeck]

No problem. I have mentioned to Tom that some of you seem to be having problems and your browsers are not allowing you to see the embedded tweets. He is going to look into it. Are you using Firefox, IE, or?

Thanks--it looks like it is either an IE7 problem, or a work-related [i.e., blocking] issue.

It works fine on Chrome on my personal laptop.

Yours could be work as I have IE7 and 8.1 with no problem. LOL about the only time I haven't had a problem with 8.1.

Too bad it doesnt work with forum runner.

Appreciate the response above, though!

At work, I couldn't see them on Firefox or IE. At home, Firefox (the browser of choice) is fine.

Damn you, work! You're spoiling my fun!
