Social Media Recognized

[yogibearbull]

In Profile/Edit Profile/Social, recognized are Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube. Please add Threads (not new anymore) and Bluesky.

In the Embed-list, fix Twitter to X, add Threads, Bluesky. Recognized now are Facebook, old Twitter (twitter.com...), LinkedIN, Pinterest, Spotify, Instagram, Indiegogo, Kickstarter, Google Drive.

Old twitter.com... links auto-embed (so, the PB tool is redundant), and replacing "x" to "twitter" in newer x.com... links usually works too. But why not update PB Embedding tool?

BTW, some sites provide embed-links (HTML) but just posting them in PB Post Preview or BBCode screens doesn't work.

hi

I have marked this as a feature request. hopefully they will consider updating the social media options.

In the meantime, you do have the option of adding custom profile options which you can do in your admin area, under the Members tab.

Craig, thanks for the suggestion.

I tested the Admin/Member/Custom Profile Fields. It allows adding more Profile text and website URLs (plain or hyperlinked) but isn't very user-friendly. Text block has no line-spacing and doesn't recognize @tags.

Also, from Admin/Security/Censored-Words, replaced "x.com" with "twitter.com" and now both twitter.com... and x.com...links auto-embed.

Anyway, these interim fixes are OK for now. But I am looking forward to revised/expanded "Social" area and Embed-tool.
