When I post links from twitter it just shows the ULR now, very annoying, any way I can get it to work like it used to

I just clicked on some random tweet and the URL in the Chrome address bar says

h t t p s : / / t w i t t e r . c om / B B C M O T D/ s t a t u s / 1 7 0 2 2 3 8 9 1 1 8 5 2 9 1 6 7 9 8
without the spaces, and the software here automatically shows it as a tweet:


But if I click to share, it replaces the word twitter with an x, because Elon Musk has a tiny penis

I assume the software here just looks out for the word twitter and not a tiny penis inspired x

XenForo hasn't updated to handle x.com links. I see the same issue on another forum.

On the other hand twitter hasn't updated, either, as it's all still at twitter.com, despite all the media calling it x, formerly known as twitter.

worked it out that rather than copy the tweet from the icon at the bottom of the tweet or from copying the link in the URL bar, click on the three dots to the top right of the tweet, select embed, copy the URL it shows then paste it here. A bit laborious but it seems to work.
