Why can't people learn to embed Tweets? No one wants to click on any links when you can just show it here directly.

I didn’t mind clicking on the link, but to each their own

What if someone just made their SixPack posts out on a blog, and instead of typing them here, just put out a link you had to click on to read them? It would be annoying as ****.

It should be a SixPack rule that you aren't allowed (maybe punishable by a 1-week mute on 3rd offense or something) to post any links to YouTube or Twitter, since we have those features here on the board. Why have the features if people aren't going to use them?

I can't see embedded tweets on my laptop, so I appreciate it when people post a link instead of embedding them.

That doesn't sound right. What browser do you use? Do you have some special setting or extension turned on?

You alright man? Seem a little on the edge for a message board. I know it's monday and some people get more stressed. Is there somebody to contact for you?

This is my pet peeve, just like churches being open is yours. We all have our hills to die on and often don't care about others'.

A link doesn't bother me.

I like the link being there as well. I mainly use my iPhone for SPS and I use Firefox as opposed to Safari and I can’t see embedded tweets either. Embedded videos work fine. Idk

NFL really should allow players to be eligible after 2 seasons. Hardly anyone has a true breakout season, worthy of NFL draft discussion, until their second season anyway. This would get rid of opt-out trend, virus or not. It was happening long before that.

I don't really see any downside.

ETA: This guy is a senior, so I guess it would be a moot point for him. I guess he feels like he can't raise his draft stock. I had no clue who he was, personally.

No... one is over the top behavior about a post not being the way you prefer. The other is being upset over a clear violation of the 1st by shutting down a church. If you don't and can't distinguish between the two, your issues run deep.

Firefox here as well and have some issues with tweets that are embedded

There’s no option on mobile view, and I’m not going through the hassle of dealing with full site on my phone because someone doesn’t want to click a link.

I embed and view tweets all the time on mobile view. Just copy/paste the tweet number between Tweet tags.

Here you are ruining another thread. Learn to embed tweets. Don't be lazy. It's annoying to make the viewer clink on a link when all you have to do is learn how to embed a tweet.

If a recruit is going to leave after 2 years, why give him a scholarship? You know he's not going to finish his degree, so why waste the money? Remember - we're a university, not an NFL minor league place.

Honestly though, not everyone knows how to embed things. I sure as hell don't from mobile. Should those that don't know how refrain from joining the board or participating because they aren't as tech savvy as you? It's a minor inconvenience and Mark Dallas does a good follow up job for dubmasses like me.

I hear you, but I dont think you have to be "tech savvy" to put Tweet tags around a number. If a person knows how to get a url and paste it here, all they have to do is cut it down to the number and throw up a few letters before and after.

Maybe in a perfect world the board could be coded to automatically replace linked Tweets with embedded ones. In the meantime, I believe in everyone here. I don't think anyone is incapable of getting it right in mobile or desktop view

Just grow up.....

Decent point, but I don't think many guys earn their degrees in 2.5 years either do they (they aren't going to class during the spring of the NFL draft)? And let's not pretend that the NFL currently waits 3 years because they want players to graduate.

And don't get me wrong, the biggest reason for this is to quell the 'pay for play' movement.

FWIW Booger McFarland was asked by Finebaum the other day about playing college ball this year. McFarland said that if he had a son playing college ball he would not let him play this year. Part of his reasoning, IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, was that too much is unknown at this time about the long term effects of the virus and he just didn't think it was worth it. He made a very compelling argument.

This mindset requires the assumption that the likelihood of getting the virus is greater for a football team member. Is that a generally accepted fact?

And his son is set for life with the money he's already made.

I'm not trying to get you banned that's you interpreting that. I am trying to get you to stop being annoying all the time. Mix it up some at least. Make posts that are enjoyable to read every now and then.

i always click on embedded tweets, because an ad covers half of it up

Ive tried multiple times but it just doesn’t work for me. I don’t know why.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

They’ve got plenty of dbags

They’ll be fine.

 

[DAWG61]

Probably because you're copying the entire tweet link instead of just the numbers at the end

 

[FQDawg]

I've had this same issue. Tried so many times, using just the numbers between the tags, and it never works. I've given up and just paste the entire link. Maybe it's a browser issue? I don't know but at this point I'm Hashtag sorry not sorry.

 

[Mobile Bay]

I don't accept that as a fact. I think the numbers with and without football would be about the same.

I’ve tried it every way, like FQ said below. Used just the numbers from the app and from a browser. It never works. When I do it it posts as blank.

 

[SyonaraStanz]

Where's the tutorial(s) for embedding tweets? Also, what the hell are tweet tags? Spoiler Alert: I don't use the twitter machine very much.

Going to attempt to explain this best I can. On the following tweet below you only copy these numbers 1291738050750341120 and then you place them in between [twitter]1291738050750341120[/twitter] but replace the word "twitter" on both sides with "tweet". I know that's confusing but I have to purposely use the wrong word here or you'll just see the actual tweet instead.
