    This is probably one for a slow day but a lot of sites allow you to embed tweets so that the links are active etc. It would be nice if there was some equivalent to the youtube tags to allow us to embed tweets.

    The predominant purpose of this would be for verification purposes for example, where news is being reported via twitter - political news, sports news etc.

    Just a thought...

    Also, I suppose the corollary of having embedded tweets is the provision for embedding other media within tweets which probably calls for the ability to embed those media in the site in and of themselves.

    At the moment, I can only think of videos from sources other than youtube, e.g., vine.

    It'll definitely be useful, we'll definitely take a look into adding it when moving the forumview/threadview away from vBulletin. Along with vine and instagram.

    Thanks,
    Alvis.

    As a similar feature, i would say embedded google maps would be useful as well

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
