So how the heck do you embed tweets here? I've tried to do it from my twitter, other twitters, etc -- but at least on my end it always looks like a blank box. Just curious. Help out a non tech-savvy mod. :hihi:

Normally I just go to the tweet, click details/expand, click "embed tweet" and paste the code. It looks good in the preview to me, but not when it posts.

Test:

<iframe title="Embedded Tweet" style="display: block; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(238, 238, 238) rgb(221, 221, 221) rgb(187, 187, 187); -moz-border-top-colors: none; -moz-border-right-colors: none; -moz-border-bottom-colors: none; -moz-border-left-colors: none; border-image: none; max-width: 99%; min-width: 220px; padding: 0px; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; margin: 10px 0px; box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);" allowtransparency="true" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" id="twitter-widget-0" frameborder="0" height="586" scrolling="no" width="500"></iframe><script async="" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script><iframe style="display: none;" allowtransparency="true" id="rufous-sandbox" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
 
But this is what I see personally:

You're missing the part of the embed code that contains (or points to) the actual tweet itself.

What twitter page are you using? That code doesn't look right at all.

I've tried taking it from just twitter.com, and via TweetDeck.
 
Here is one from Twitter, and the info I posted...

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Davone Bess says a broken back led to his exit from the Dolphins <a href="http://t.co/6H7piAMRVZ">http://t.co/6H7piAMRVZ</a></p>&mdash; NFL: AroundTheLeague (@NFL_ATL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL_ATL/statuses/375596293273305089">September 5, 2013</a></blockquote>

Well hell, that worked it looks like? Hmm, let me try from my office when I get there. Maybe somehow it's a problem with a setup from work, not home?
 
Mine also works differently on two different computers. I think it's probably related to your editor settings in your user options.

Say what? :hihi:

Test from work, clicking exact same things:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Woody Johnson, foot in mouth, made an insensitive comment yesterday about Mark Sanchez&#39;s injury. <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Jets&amp;src=hash">#Jets</a> <a href="http://t.co/G37D3gcH0b">http://t.co/G37D3gcH0b</a></p>&mdash; Rich Cimini (@RichCimini) <a href="https://twitter.com/RichCimini/statuses/375599761711054848">September 5, 2013</a></blockquote>
