• The site has now migrated to Xenforo 2. If you see any issues with the forum operation, please post them in the feedback thread.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.

Can we have Twitter Image Embeds instead of Twitter Post Embeds?

I don't want to let any social media site track my browser on QQ.

Could we please get normal proxie'd images instead of Twitter post embeds with tracking callbacks?

Can't verify that, but whatever.

Here's a post of a still image:

There's no need to embed a call to the Twitter servers for a proxy-compatible image like that.

Well, that's on the poster for choosing to embed the post rather than the image, not something QQ can do anything about.
 
Twitter embeds are dumb.

99% of the time, I can't even see the post unless I click on it directly in which it will redirect me to the twitter posts! So frustrating!

QQ could simply not do live-embeds from Twitter at all.

Images which get proxied are fine, and links which show up as URLs are fine.

If I need to click a URL to go to Twitter, to watch a video or whatever, that's fine. I can sanitize that link and view it through a container'd window if I want.

Posted there.

BTW, there's now a trend for YouTube to prohibit embeds from actually working, so those ones are just spying without providing value in return:

This is worse than a link would be, and I need to follow the link anyway to see whatever is in the video.

We're looking at a forum feature with negative value.


Please just disable media embeds.

That's a region issue on your end, the video there loads fine for me.
