Does anyone else have trouble embedding tweets to this site ?

Guys, it looks like something is going on with the twitter embeds - either on the Twitter API side or our site.  We are working on a new PC look for HornSports and it is possible we are experiencing issues.  We will get it resolved asap if it is on our end.

!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");



Seeing this post made me chuckle. When the site's developer can't embed a tweet, something is broken.

 
1. When viewing a tweet, click "Details" below the tweet.

2. When the tweet comes up on a separate page, the end of the URL will be a long string of numbers.

3. Copy that string and ONLY the numbers.

4. Then when you come back to HornSports and are in the posting tool/editor, there is a small navy blue circle with a "t" in it, located in the 2nd row of icons (7th from the right). Click the icon/circle.

5. A small text box will appear that says "Special BBCode" and at the bottom of the box, there will be a rectangular, empty character box where it instructs you to place the tweet ID. PASTE the ID you copied from the tweet straight into the box.

6. Click "OK" and the tweet will be embedded in your post.
