A few weeks ago, there was a article submitted by Chary that was a guide to submitting news by members of the community. In the guide, there mentions something that I did not know and perhaps many didn't know about either.

If there's a Tweet involved, then you can use the (TWEET)(/TWEET) brackets to show a full Tweet in a thread. (a direct Tweet link or a Tweet ID will work) You can also link YouTube videos in a similar manner by clicking the "media" button near the top of the "post thread" page, or just posting the video's URL.

The quote mentions using a command for linking twitter post to a forum post to be seen as it would appear on twitter. It then mentions the same thing for youtube, with the only difference is this. "You can link YouTube videos by clicking the media button near the top of the post thread page or just posing the video's url."

First I didn't know about the tweet command for this forum until it was brought to my attention, and I'm sure many others not familiar with XenForo or it's features may have not noticed it either. Unlike the media button that is stated can be used with youtube, there is no such function for twitter in the toolbar. Simply I just would like to point that out if possible and maybe have something done about it, either adding the function to the toolbar or making it work with the url link like youtube videos does.

This would be useful since probably more than %50 of users here may be using twitter and because it was suggest as a considerable news source for sharing news here from there. I don't know much about the XenForo or how it works for the forums or if any other hidden commands like this one exist, but I think this should be made more visible. :)
