It's happened. I didn't take offense to it, I didn't take it seriously. So no big deal. There's always going to be someone that won't like one thing or another. It's not just a single user having the issue, it's multiple people, even an admin, though I believe he's having the issue on his non-admin "normal member" account. I've tried editing the various posts that people have pointed out to see if it would happen to me but I have no issue, but I'm an admin and I don't believe it's affecting admins. I thought that maybe there was a bug in the permissions, so I set the Members group from 'unlimited' editing to a 10 year editing time limit but that did nothing and it was set back to unlimited, which still has the error pop up. Not all the time, not everywhere, kind of intermittently from what I can tell. I'm going to get the board upgraded to the latest version soon, so I'm hoping that will resolve this issue. If it doesn't, I'll see if you can take a look and see if you see anything.

Thanks, I've (in the past) been chastised for starting new threads for topics that already exist. So I guess it's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' kind of thing. This topic is the exact problem I'm having so it fits this topic and adds to potential solutions for people in the future when they have the same problem, rather than having solutions spread out across multiple posts. THis thread is less than 2 years old. So still fairly relevant. It if was from 2005, I'd have skipped over it. What is the precise issue? That's what I'm trying to determine. Members can't edit posts but the ACP is set to allow editing for an unlimited time frame.

I'm having this issue on my site now (suddenly), not for admins but for members. I'm hosted on GoDaddy, if it's a server configuration, what do I ask them to look for or to adjust?

I'm on v4.7.19 with PHP 8. I will upgrade to 5 (or 5.04 when it's ready), and hopefully that'll solve the issue. But if PHP 8.1 or 2 isn't supported for v4.7.19, I'll leave things as they are for now.

Something that just came to mind, I'm on php 8 at the moment. Do you think that would have anything to do with this issue?

It's hit or miss, for one member a tweet didn't work. When I posted the exact same link, it worked. Is 5 ready for use or is it Beta right now?

Here's an example of a Tweet (or whatever they're called now) that won't embed on my site, but seems to here, so maybe it's something with my board?

I'll try to get an example of one that won't embed on my site, usually though they will end up embedding after a bit of trying. I've assumed that it's like an issue with X itself, but didn't know if there might be a work around or update or something that might fix it. Yeah, they're having their issues today. The issue that I've asked about has been ongoing for a while and isn't related to today's issues.

They're all public (the ones we have issues with) and are hit or miss. You try embedding it and it gives you the error message. You try again and it happens again, eventually you might get it to embed. Or one person tries embedding it and it won't work, someone else tries and it does. It can be pretty frustrating.

The issue of this topic, with X posts.

Has anyone come up with a solution to this?

I’m using v4.7.19 and I want the full value to be displayed across the board (Total board count and each user’s counts), is the method described above, still valid for my version?

That sucks, but not a huge big deal. My members want it, but I think the Twitter/X embedding is more important to them. I haven't looked into this yet, but will Bluesky embed? I honestly hadn't ever even heard of that one until recently.

I'm trying to get Facebook posts to embed on my board and I've followed the steps to make it work (I think). They still won't embed, but am I understanding correctly that Facebook needs to review it before my board is approved for embedding? If so, I'll just wait it out. If not, then I'm doing something wrong because it still isn't working.

Thanks, whatever it was, it seems to have resolved itself overnight.
