Related: About this forumA couple of DU updates -- tweet/video indicators and x.com embedding
Hello all,
As mentioned prior to the fund drive, Elad has just enabled Twitter and YouTube indicators by default for all Star Members. (This feature was supposed to be turned on by default when DU4 launched, but it seems we overlooked it.)
The indicators appear on Latest, Greatest, Latest Videos, and in forums. They look like this:
If you see a blue box next to a thread title, it means the OP contains a tweet. If you see a red box, it means the OP contains a YouTube video.
If you want to turn the indicators off, you can, by going to your Account Settings (My DU > Account Settings) page. Scroll down to the section titled "Social media integration" and set "Show tweet indicator" and "Show video indicator" to "No."
In addition, Elad has fixed x.com embedding, so it should now work correctly without having to use the twitter.com workaround. Using twitter.com URLs will still work, but you can now directly paste tweets with the x.com URL and they should show up.
Thanks for reading!

"twitter.com" was still resolving for "X.com" posts but there had been a delay to render.

(26,648 posts)Regarding YouTube videos...
I asked a question and didn't get a resolution in help about posting YouTube shorts. Is there a work around for them? They don't seem to be visible by just cutting and pasting the original YT Short original link as we're able to do with a typical YouTube video. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I looked at it as a “Stick It To the Cons” thing, which was especially deserving to a jerk like Musk. I'm going to keep using the workaround. If it pisses off Musk, I love it.

(2,828 posts)Being very hard of hearing, clicking on a post and encountering a video with minimal, if any, text is really annoying.

(5,348 posts)Now that I’m working again, was finally able to donate a small amount to re-up my star membership and this was the first thing I noticed! It’s great! It’s such a simple and effective way to know what you are about to click on, especially if you prefer reading articles. Thank you so much!
