Embeds for in-line display of posts/threads on external websites #814

Many social media sites have the ability to generate embedded content for external display, which can help show activity on the site in a professional looking manner.

Currently the best option on mbin for displaying content externally is to use the API to retrieve the text and subject of the content. However, this means the external developer must style and format the content themselves, which would lead to an inconsistent user experience between the external webpage and mbin itself, as well as requiring development work externally. An embed system would fix both these issues, removing hurdles to display content on websites.
