Twitter link

[Bird Lady]

Ever since the site was upgraded I have been unable to
have twitter open in the post. All I get is a link. I would like it to go back
to where I don't have to go to twitter to see what is posted. What do I have to do
to repair this?

1. I've been having the same problem.

3. maybe if we bring it to someones attention

Or have others having the same problem, someone will fix it.
Otherwise I will look at no posts that contain a twitter link. I am
not a part of twitter and do not wish to be so.

8. I'm with you

2. Are you using an ad blocker?

Sometimes those can prevent tweets from embedding properly.

4. No not that I know of.

I get plenty of ads.

5. What kind of device and browser are you using?

PC, Mac, Android tablet/phone, Apple tablet/phone, etc.? Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.?

9. I'm using iPhone with Safari browser. It worked fine up until about a week ago

13. I have the same/new problem w/ DU on my iPhone: only Twitter links show up.

I have a Twitter account, but it’s nice to see the embedded Twitter post in DU.

I just got an Amazon tablet and twitter posts show up on that device.

10. I am using the same device and browser I have always used

Imac desktop and safari.

11. So unfortunately this isn't really a DU problem per se

It's to do with your individual device/browser setup and the way it interacts with Twitter's code.

Additional privacy settings, content blockers, or browser plugins/extensions can all cause conflicts which prevent your browser from displaying embedded tweets. Behind-the-scenes browser updates can make this happen without you even doing anything.

The problem then is figuring our what might apply to your particular situation.

Since you haven't made any recent changes to your device or browser, your best bet to start might be to try clearing your browser cache. There are instructions for Mac/Safari here, at the top of the page (there are iPhone instructions too for people having this issue on their phones):

Be aware that clearing browser data may cause you to be logged out from sites that you are already logged into, which means you'll have to log in again.

12. Not sure how my computer changed when I changed nothing.

When it was the site that changed. But OK I'll find a fix or move on.

6. For me, it won't play a Twitter video without popping me into twitter

Also, I can no longer copy a link within a tweet from du.

7. I had that problem depending on what browser I used

Using Chrome I had that problem.
Now I open DU only in Safari (Apple's browser) and I do not have that problem.
I have an Apple Mac computer,

Changing browsers is what worked for me.

14. Same problem here

I read DU on my iPad. I have 3 browsers (Safari, Chrome and Brave) and no tweets showing on any of them in the past week. I haven’t changed any settings...it’s definitely DU.

15. It's the same for everyone using a iPad or iPhone.

16. Suddenly, I can once again see tweets in DU posts on my iPhone!

I didn’t change any settings, at least not that I know about.

Hurrah! 😀
