To DU posters of Twitter pics... A helpful trick to share (Repost from General)
I’ve written a nifty solution for this use case.
Please see this post:

(Also more tips from post 6) :
Often I see links fail in the preview posting option, and have to remove them.
The forum requires the ending part of the “URI” end in an image suffix, .png, .jpg, etc
(With NO query string - the “?” And stuff after)
I always trim off the query string part for shared Twitter links, as the forum’s rendering will ignore it AND spit it out in an ugly manner.
Oh, also for rendering a tweet, we must swap out “x” for “twitter” in the domain name part.
( so we can use x.com when we RON’T wish to render the tweet )
