Twitter images become "Media" and this breaks them

[evildice]

Just checked the SFW image thread and saw this:




Gotta say, I do not like the idea that opening a thread on QQ would invoke Twitter's tracking APIs.

And I like it even less when Twitter posts disappear and the Media area becomes empty, unlike a correctly proxied image.

Could y'all change the Twitter URL handling to pull images into the image proxy instead of invoking a Media area for Twitter's APIs? I don't like being tracked, and I don't like opening an older thread to find a bunch of deleted tweets.

If you're trying to embed an image from a Twitter post you should be using the image tag to begin with, not the media one.
If you're suggesting that we somehow have XenForo convert the tweet into an image and display that instead? That isn't possible.
