Selfishly, I would prefer the old format, because my job blocks Twitter, so while I know it's great for a lot of other people to be able to like and share embedded tweets directly from this forum, it makes it harder for those of us with vigilant IT departments. I'll survive without seeing the tweets till I get home, but I suspect I'm not the only one with this issue.

Yeah, the bottom line is that we'll have to find some way of at least incorporating the old way of posting tweets as there's enough people having issues with the linked ones.
Still mulling...

I'm sure this new tweet format is very cool, but unfortunately I can't see any tweets, so I voted for the old BSN format.

Update:
Okay, after much deliberation, and as it seems that there are a fair number of people having issues with the current linked tweets (bandwidth/browser issues/blocked at work), we're going to switch back to the old method (copy/paste). While most of us (including me) do love the new linked format, it's more important that everyone can see them.
If there are any questions or concerns, just let me know!

it's a shame really. the new format has so many pros and almost none of the cons of the old format. but everyone being able to see the tweets is more important than convenience, speed, utility, aesthetics and so on. still i can't help comparing going back to the old format to shooting oneself in the foot for the need of the few. but sacrifices have to be made sometimes. what about the twitter archive thread? will it be changing to the old format too?

We're still discussing how to best approach the archive thread as I found another issue with posting the linked tweets - the search function doesn't see them. So at the very least we will have to use the copy/paste versions, but we may add the linked versions as well. It's a lot of work though, so... we'll see.

strange that the search function doesn't work but i guess that it just sees the tweet links and not the actual tweets that get loaded from the links. you would want the tweets to be visible when searching, especially in the archived thread. not sure if we should be doubling the tweets. just stick with one version, at least for the twitter threads.

Yeah, I think the search is just seeing the link and not the content as well. Increasingly, I think we're just going to have to abandon the idea of the linked tweets altogether... *Sadness* HRUNGR IS HERE! LIFE IS GOOD! Very, very good. Tweets will be found, and interpreted, I can relax now. Thank you. Cheers! Thanks! *Happiness*

Looks good! I assume this is for the archive though? For the discussion thread I'd like to keep it as simple as possible (eg. as we're doing them now). I also wanted to point out something serenai is working on that sounds interesting: bsn.boards.net/post/19877/thread"Hey Hrungr.. regarding the tweet viewing issue: There's a way to create plugins here. I'm looking into creating one specifically for tweets, where it would have the text pretty-fied like before but the text would still be accessible for everyone because it would not actually use the full Twitter component here. It may take a while since I'll be out of town for a bit, but just wanted to let you know about it. I'm going to work on it in a separate test board."
If it works, maybe the best of both worlds...?
