    Any chance you will allow this site to support the code to embed a tweet? I like to post tweets, but wish it could look nicer than just the raw link. Twitter offers the code to embed a tweet into forums that support it.

    Twitter doesn't make it easy to embed tweets for CMSs like our forum. It requires extra code and callbacks to retrieve the various media types within the tweet, which is not as straight-forward as embedding other media types. There's an add-on, but it's currently incompatible with our forum version.

    It's definitely something we'd like to add, and once we find a workable solution we'll apply it.
