Trouble embedding twitter tweets on duke4.net's forums.  "Can you help me out?"

#1

I'm having trouble trying to embed tweets on the forums. Tried everything but no success. Can you help me out on this? What the hell's going on?

EDIT: Here's the code I'm trying to embed below.

You can't just embed arbitrary HTML into forum posts.

Yeah, security reasons.

There is a blue twitter button you can use, though. Right under the "bold" button It is sort of a useless feature.

This forums software seriously needs updating.

Killjoys, it used to be fun when HTML worked on forums...

> Add a redirect to a gay porn site.
> Modify fonts, colors and background images.
> Some forums running on IIS servers would actually interpret ASP correctly, so you could put logic bombs and all sorts of crap in.
> There was this one forum where you could actually put HTML or ASP in the topic description and it would cause the entire sub-forum to be unusable, requiring the admin to edit the database manually and if he didn't know how, restore an old backup.
> On some forums I heard it was possible to put the software into an infinite loop and crash the server, never saw it, but I heard about it.

...Yeah, Duke4 was not the first forum I ever pissed people off on and I doubt it will be the last. Incidentally that button doesn't appear for me, but I do not care to figure out why as I have no use for it.

That space is completely empty for me. It occurs to me I have my Ad Blocker set to remove social network buttons, so maybe that one yields a false positive so it's probably nothing to worry about. If this image Posted Image Posted Image is that button, then yes, it is in the list of items the add-on blocked.

Edit; I can't embed that image, the forum software removes it. URL is; http://forums.duke4....ons/twitter.png
