Twitter fixes -- auto tweet embed, quote bug, x.com issue

Fixed one bug, added a feature.

To embed tweets, just paste the entire URL now. No [twitter] tag necessary anymore.

Also, quoting multiple tweets from a single post doesn't screw up the quotes anymore.

Example:

Here's just a Twitter URL without a tweet: https://twitter.com/ToddWitteles

Here is a tweet.

https://twitter.com/ToddWitteles/sta...88653193506818


Here is another tweet:

This is me quoting the entire message and nothing is screwed up

BUMP

Fixed the x.com issue with embedding tweets from the X URL. Was breaking things when people used to x.com URL. Damn Elon.

Example:

https://x.com/ToddWitteles/status/1701203062977855973

now embeds like this.....

https://x.com/ToddWitteles/status/1701203062977855973

BUMP again


I noticed that the URL I displayed under the embedded Twitter post was no longer working, and if you clicked on it, you'd get the main Twitter page.

This is because Twitter killed that format of links to their site (without telling anyone, apparently), so I had to modify the software to use the newer format which has been the standard for awhile.

This fix is retroactive, so any previous tweet embedded here (even going back many years) will now work properly.
