Didn't know where else to suggest this, but has Instagram embedding been mentioned at all? I'd find it useful as there are a fair amount of posts I have made where I could have done with embedding an IG pic etc.. I've noticed a fair amount of sites using it!

It might be something that you're already looking into for when we have a big revamp, but in case you haven't just thought I'd stick a topic out there to get a bit of awareness about. I think other people may also find it rather useful.

For an example of what I mean: http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/news/justin-timberlake-son-silas-jessica-biel-first-pic-2015194 (I wanted to embed the img but it wouldn't let me etc..)

I believe I remember Phil said somewhere after adding the new Twitter embed that he will look into adding more embeds in the future but not until the new site has gone live as he wanted to concentrate on finishing that first. It would be very useful though so I'm sure it will happen in the future. I'm very excited for the Twitter embed feature though

I have been suggesting this for an age. This is much more important than the Twitter embed, because you can't save or link images from Instagram, whereas with Twitter you can

A lot of music artists (like Gaga) post more on Instagram than Twitter these days, and the Instagram images can't be linked on here without going through the effort of screenshots and cropping which is a chore I'll never get around to doing

Until we get this feature, I suggest using webstagram or something sjmilar, which is basically viewing the instgram pictures, but with embeddable links

What I do if an artist reveals single / album artwork on Instagram etc. is go to the page for it on Instagram, right click and 'View Page Source' and do a search for the jpg link But that still requires more effort than linking to an image posted on Twitter and I agree that this would be a very useful and current feature!

yeah embedding was suggested in the mod lounge ages ago, but nothing's getting done until the site upgrade happens (which should happen sometime this year hopefully)

this opinion reminds me of grandma jake telling me how awful and horrible computers are how much better it is to write a handwritten to HM's tax service

But when I lost all charts information on PC, always think about old good piece of paper.

Can you or anybody else name any "+" of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram e.t.c. over good forums (for simple Buzzjack or UKmix) ?

Why I need in anything else, if I read and post on Buzzjack and listen music on Youtube ?

I got very confused by this, then realised who wrote it.

I've looked into the new structure and from what I gather it doesn't look that exciting. I just hope some of the pet peeves currently existing are gone, and that'll be gr8

(the search engine and deleting/editing your own polls/posts if you didn't already know)

search engine?

Oh sorry, meant the flood control message! can be a pain at times, perhaps a workaround to this one day?

Posted by: Phil 9th March 2016, 10:06 PM
