Likely came with the last Vbulletin update. I googled "twitter post vbulletin", found the correct tag and it works! Definitely a good feature.

Good catch.

to anyone who is wondering how. It's just like any other coding

[tweet] then insert the tweet link https://twitter.com/HailStateBB/status/994403736943546369 ​[/.tweet]

Make sure to remove the . from the closing /tweet

Where do you insert the copied tweet id? Is it a link or a pic from URL?

If you are in Twitter on a computer - on the right side of the tweet there is a down arrow. Click that, and the first item on the drop down menu is "copy link to tweet"
If you are in the Twitter app on iphone - at the bottom right of the tweet there is an up arrow. Click that, then "Share Tweet via", then click "copy link to tweet"

Cool! it worked.. didn't think it would. Can use the full link instead of just the ID at the end. makes lot easier to explain to people.

Somehow, it linked my text (labeled "test") to the tweet.

Yep, I fiddled with the very same thing last night after I posted that tweet. It had the text below as a hyperlink. Sometimes my browser wouldn't show the tweet pic..only the hyperlink. I kept fiddling with it, and it eventually just showed the tweet. Not sure how to re-create that situation.

Yep. Type [tweet.] .paste link. [/tweet.] but don't put the periods or spaces- I just had to do that to make the instructions show up.

You kept forgetting to close the code. Anytime you open code such as [tweet] you have to close it. [. /tweet] (remove the period though. I couldn't post that with out the period inserted as a place holder.
