I keep getting issues with twitter embeds.

It will either be a long white box with no tweet showing, or in the pro sports thread.... shows url of tweet in the box, but not the actual tweet.

You hit enter after the Twitter tag. Don't do that. It must be all together from tag to last tag no spaces no nothin'. Check your first link again.

Is there a browser cache thing tied to this.... I posted a tweet, and to my view, it's the same issue above, but apparently others see it fine.

Just in case anyone else has been having trouble embedding twitter/x posts, the trick is to make sure the link you embed says it's from the old "twitter.com" rather than the new "x.com". In other words, if you copy and paste the address from the x/twitter site, you have to change the portion of the address that now says x.com to twitter.com. I don't know the mechanics but the embed will be "automatically" converted to the desired x.com address when it appears on this site.

At least that's how I understand it.
