Re: Linking to Twitter
I don’t think so but maybe I don’t know everyone’s systems.
I just take the shot post on forum then go back into my photos and delete it.

Apparently it does.
Already seen that ...
Re: Linking to Twitter
Ah yes, I agree with that point (or even relevant text quoted from the source).
But that applies to all links posted in forums - especially to newspaper articles (which can be loaded with annoying adverts, cookies etc) and videos. I rarely click on them without relevant info being supplied!

Twitter worked a lot better when it was text only. <sigh... >

Re: Linking to Twitter
The Guardian seems to paste (either manually or more likely automatically) texts of Tweets into their feeds now, after loads of problems embedding for non-logged-in-to-Twitter or non-users.
Well, one big difference is that the BBC doesn't pop up a login-required box if you scroll too far down a page. Twitter does. Maybe not if it knows your browser or IP address, but it certainly does for some. I will try to remember to take a picture the next time I see it, if you want.

The Sign Up/Log In pop up does not appear in a thread of tweets, so a link to any of the following should be fine:mjr wrote: ↑3 Aug 2022, 1:50pmWell, one big difference is that the BBC doesn't pop up a login-required box if you scroll too far down a page.

- an isolated single tweet
- the first tweet in a thread
- any other tweet in a thread
The Sign Up/Log In pop up does appear on a user's 'home page' if you scroll below the last half a dozen tweets they posted. Even then it is not necessary to sign up or log in: if you click on the sign up button, another pop up box appears which can just be closed by clicking on 'X' in the top left of the pop up, which takes you back to the user's 'home page' and then you can continue scrolling through their past tweets.

This thread was started in the Test Board, in which posts are auto-deleted after an unknown time period. I think this thread should be moved to the 'Using the forum board' before it gets auto-deleted, and have therefore reported this post.
Re: Linking to Twitter
Thankyou
I didn't know about autodeletion.

Re: Linking to Twitter
The clock resets with each reply posted, I don't recall the time a thread on the Test Board needs to be dormant before it is lost.

Re: Linking to Twitter
I had noticed this thread was on the test board. Not only does it auto delete but it doesn’t show under active topics.
My default use of the forum is using 'active topics' and wondered why I could never see/ find this thread.

Re: Linking to Twitter
It’s been moved to ‘Does anyone know?’ which probably isn’t the best place for it as it’s a technical question about the forum, but at least it’s now more visible.

Re: Linking to Twitter
Bump for the mods/tech support - anyone more thoughts on this?
