I've made a Twitter for my forums and I was curious, is there a way to connect it so that a live feed of the tweets is shown to people?

Hi

You would need to obtain the html embed code from your twitter feed, and you should be able to place this in your sidebar

...or anywhere else that accepts HTML on the forum

5 types of Twitter feeds you can embed on a website

You can embed a Twitter timeline feed or button on your website using the Twitter widget embed tool (listed below). Or, there are a few different ways you can display Twitter posts on your site including:

• Twitter’s embedding tool (free)
• Plug-ins and integrations with your website hosting company (not always free)
• Third-party tools or widgets like Taggbox (usually not free)

We’ll expand on each of these in a minute.

First, we’ll present an overview of the different types of Twitter feeds and buttons that you can embed by pulling embed code from Twitter. They include:

1. Embedded Tweet feeds

A Tweet embed allows you to display a single Tweet to your website.

2. Embedded profile timeline feeds

A profile timeline embed displays Tweets from a single Twitter account on your website. You also have the option of embedding Follow and Mention buttons for a Twitter profile.

3. Embedded list feeds

You can embed a Twitter list feed directly onto your website which shows all posts associated with a curated list. Twitter Lists allow Twitter users to organize a group of accounts by topic. For example, you could create a Twitter List of industry thought leaders and embed it on your website’s resources page.

4. Embedded @handle feeds

With handle feeds, you have the option to embed a Twitter user’s profile (your own or someone else’s) onto your website. This is one way to embed your profile feed without needing the exact profile URL (you only need the handle). The handle embed also allows you to add Follow, Mention or Hashtag buttons.

5. Embedded #hashtag button

This is a button rather than a feed. It has one function: to enable your website visitors to Tweet about a given hashtag from your website. Users simply click on the Hashtag button, and a draft Tweet opens with the hashtag included.
