A couple of DU updates -- tweet/video indicators and x.com embedding

[EarlG]

Hello all,

As mentioned prior to the fund drive, Elad has just enabled Twitter and YouTube indicators by default for all Star Members. (This feature was supposed to be turned on by default when DU4 launched, but it seems we overlooked it.)

The indicators appear on Latest, Greatest, Latest Videos, and in forums. They look like this:



If you see a blue box next to a thread title, it means the OP contains a tweet. If you see a red box, it means the OP contains a YouTube video.

If you want to turn the indicators off, you can, by going to your Account Settings (My DU > Account Settings) page. Scroll down to the section titled "Social media integration" and set "Show tweet indicator" and "Show video indicator" to "No."

In addition, Elad has fixed x.com embedding, so it should now work correctly without having to use the twitter.com workaround. Using twitter.com URLs will still work, but you can now directly paste tweets with the x.com URL and they should show up.

Thanks for reading!
