Card information is visible when expanding the tweet. If you'd like to include the article's photo pre-expanded in your timeline, you can attach the original photo to the tweet when posting. This would mean your tweet has both the URL to your article and an automatically created pic.twitter.com URL. This is not ideal, but our product team is aware of this use case and is always working to improve the user experience. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to follow up.
While I hope they do it quickly, if you'll notice, some of the links and answers I posted above are from 2014.. so I'm not sure how soon, if ever, you should expect them to change things. It's a battle of brevity (which Twitter is definitely focused on) vs promotional/rich content showing and who knows which way they'll start to lean in the future.and will just wait for Twitter to change their code
Thank you so much! It's very appreciated.But any way, I think we have gone as far as we can on this thread, so thank you a heap for all the help. I gave a review on the JED that reflects what I think about your just incredibly awesome support.

Twitter owns Bit.ly. I wouldn't be surprised if they give it preference and show it only as the shortened URL.They are using the fully formed URL from the actual page on the site. If it comes from bit.ly as they suggested the bit.ly short URL bit.ly/1nsivgA is used.
You are correct. The Twitter button is using Joomla's page URL. There's not going to be a way to automatically set the short URL though. You'd need to stop using the JFBCContent plugin for automatically inserting the Tweet button and instead use our EasyTags in each article to set the short URL for each button, like:Maybe this is the reason Twitter is using long URL:
{SCFacebookLike href=http://site.com/short-url}
{SCTwitterTweet href=http://site.com/short-url}
When you click a tweet, it displays in a lightbox popup. This happens for your tweets as well. When yours pops up, I see the full summary and image from your tweets. I'm not sure where it's not working for you here. The main difference is that they have set the image in the tweet itself and not using a link to their site... however, when popped up, Tweets in both streams have a similar look and feel to me.This seems to be a never ending story. but how does AE911Truth get to have light box pop up in their Twitter Tweets. How can I implement this as well.
