First thanks for the lesson. Everything after the ? are parms and for YouTube t=n means start at n seconds.

If DU doesn't pass the parms for the t=193 case, does it also not pass them for the case in your post with the twitter reference? Still good to learn how to trim a link.

What looks ugly to me is a link from Twitter that has 2, 3, or even more of the same tweet. Hoyt Jan 2019 #2

My guess on that one is a bug in the DU software, not something that the poster of the link has mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #8

Thanks. I wondered what caused it. Hoyt Jan 2019 #9

That happens when someone posts the links to *replies* to an original tweet.. Princess Turandot Jan 2019 #12

Catch more flies with honey? The message was actually helpful, the headline was not - so maybe seaglass Jan 2019 #20

I am perfectly willing to accept the assessment that I'm being annoying anal :) mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #21

Those URL strings don't "pay" Twitter. It's tracking code the publication uses. jpljr77 Jan 2019 #23

This is true, and yes, I posted a simplified explanation of the situation mr_lebowski Jan 2019 #24
