Twitter links not showing the post

Post by Pseudo »

When I used to post links to tweets the forum would post the tweet but that doesn't seem to be happening now. Has something changed, is there a BB code for third-party media that I'm unaware of that you've instituted and should be using?

even Twitter itself agrees:
