BRD Maintenance Sat. or Sun.

[bannination]

We'll go down sometime Saturday or Sunday to upgrade phpbb to it's latest version, which will allow the update of phpBB Media Embed PlugIn which hopefully fixes twitter links.

Shouldn't really take more than an hour whenever I have time.

Thanks Elon.

Thanks, banni.

If it doesn't work I've got a 3-step process for posting tweets the way they've always worked. FU, Elon.

Have you also got a fix for many YT embeds? Thanks, Google.

It's controlled through the same plugin -- so maybe we'll get lucky...

Maybe post it just in case?

Okay, here's one you linked:

Wow.
https://x.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1791511395369877745

Click on the link.
Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner.
Click on "Embed post".
Click on "Embedded Post".
Click on "Copy Code".
Oddly this does not get a clean embed Instead, you get:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">That’s not a cross it’s a triangle. <a href="https://t.co/D7H8Tm5aPQ">https://t.co/D ... </p>&mdash; Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) <a href=" 17, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

From that, look for the old url format and don't include the '?' and beyond:
https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/stat ... 5369877745
Post it:


Okay, 6 steps

Yikes, I'm rooting for Banni.

Looks like you're having some trouble. YT embeds work with just the code after the '=', not the entire url. Like this:

I think we're good -- maint over!

The X embeds are working for me. Thanks.

Not every YT embed is working. For example:

Hm... I think that's youtube blocking it for some reason. It's definitely loading youtube's embed, and clicking on the embed takes you to the actual video, but they're not allowing watching from outside their site.

I'll fiddle, but I think that's them and not us.

EDIT: Sure enough -- the creator/owner of the video can pick if a video is allowed to be embedded in other sites or not.

Since it began I've figured that it was a YT thing, perhaps to force more ad viewing

Clicking on the embed didn't always take you to the actual video, including this one earlier, but it seems to work now. That might be something you fixed

I believe for this particular thing it's more about people protecting their "brand" -- Taylor doesn't want her crap to be embedded on porn sites or MAGA forums perhaps.

We can still embed off of browser url's, it's the .be url's off of their app that's blocked.

When we are able to post YouTube embeds the YouTube link in the lower right corner is no longer working for me, sometimes. Any ideas?

For example:
viewtopic.php?p=199275#p199275

[O Really]

Mine came up as a normal embed for this one.

The embed works for me, too. It's the link to YouTube that didn't with GoCubsGo's original post.

Very weird. The YouTube link works for me when I linked to the GoCubsGo's post above. However, if I navigate to the page it doesn't:
viewtopic.php?t=681&start=2240

Works both ways for me. I'm using FIrefox, could be browser related or even what extensions are installed, ad blocker, etc.

Probably nothing we could do about it unless the original developer also see's it and fixes.
