Twitter (and YT) embed tag
#9
That's why most times I just provide direct links to things. Embedding is great, but often breaks indeed. Or only partially works - YouTube being an example where you see the video but only half of it shows up. Screenshotting is annoying too as it takes extra steps to do, you then need hosting and sometimes the screenshot just sucks (mobile ones in particular). Much easier to just link to something and/or using quotes to highlight specific things unless I'm wanting to use an image as the img tags are easy enough.

Forums are super old so the software out there just sucks at times even though it does the job. It feels increasingly archaic though (then again I still use IRC haha). But there haven't been any new open-source forum software projects so you're limited.
