  • Adding GIFs, TikTok, Tweets, Twitch, and Instagram to your posts.

    I finally figured out how to add Tweets, GIFs, Twitch, and Instagram posts on this board. The only thing that you have to do, is go to Advanced Options, then go to the little rectangular box that
    says HTML Off. Change it to HTML On - Convert Linebreaks.

    You can then go to the website that has the GIF, Tweet, or Instagram post that you are looking for, and then click on the embed option. Copy it, then go back to the post you was writing. Then simply paste the code in your post.

    It should work. For a long time, I didn't know how to do this. It's very easy. Anyway, I hope this helps.

    I wanted to say that you don't have to turn on HTML On- Convert Linebreaks/Don't Convert Linebreaks anymore to add TikTok, Tweets, GIFs, or Instagram to your posts. The buttons are now in the editor. You have a button for TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, and you also have a GIF button to where you can choose GIFS, the multi-colored button in the right-hand corner beside the smiley are all GIFs you can choose straight from GIPHY. It should now be easy to add GIFs, Tweets, TikTok, or Instagram to your posts.

      Also, when grabbing GIFs from tenor.com , or other places, to reduce the size of the GIF to a smaller size, look at the code for the GIF and look where it says width. Change the width from 100% to 30%.

        I also wanted to add that tweets are kind of funny. Sometimes, they don't always show up. You have to remove some of the code in them when embedding sometimes to get them to show.

              To add TikTok,

              get the TikTok Video ID, click the Copy Link in the TikTok post, The copied link has this format:

              https://www.tiktok.com/@user/video/<VideoID>

              Copy just the Video ID part. The Video ID consists a bunch of some pattern of digits.

                    For Soundcloud, you have to get the number part and put in-between the tags to embed the song.

                    For twitch, you can embed a single video, a channel, or a clip by getting the number for a video, the channel for a channel video, and add all the characters after the "/clip/".

                      You can also use Video ID, Channel/Username, or Clip ID inside the Twitch BBCode tag.

                      To add clips, you need to add all characters after "/clip/" in the Clip URL and before "?" if it exists. For example, if the Twitch Clip URL is https://www.twitch.tv/myusername/cli...Qu2NyjJ1pbfKGa, the BBCode tag would look like this:

                      [twitchexample]MyClip-UlQu2NyjJ1pbfKGa[/twitchexample]

                      To embed Twitch videos into your posts, When you are on a twitch video, click on embed, and get the name of the channel, number, or clip in-between the quotations.

                      Then, click on the twitch button on the forum, and put the name of the channel, the number, if it's a number, or the clip in between the twitch tags.
