New issues I notice now are:

On Safari on iPhone 13, the "search" interface doesn't work (cannot even open the search input text box).
On Safari on iPhone 13, the three horizontal line "hamburger" menu icon also does not work. Cannot get any menu to show by tapping that three line icon.

Same here.

ETA: Search works on iPad.

Hm, I don't have an iPhone, so I can't try this one (and I'm too lazy right now to install an iPhone simulator).

I think one conclusion from all these problems is that I should be more conservative with regard to upgrades and wait a few months before upgrading. The 2.0.0 release of NodeBB in particular seems to have all kinds of problems. The upgrade broke many plugins, for instance.

Hopefully they'll soon publish the first bugfix release.

Using Edge, no plugins, but there is an ad blocker. Never bothered it before. The ad blocker is just in Edge, no third party software.

Strange. I just tried Edge on my computer, and the tweets are embedded as desired (though sometimes with a small delay).

For instance, if you click here you don't see the Tweet George posted? Could you try it with another browser, maybe?

Same thing on my iPhone Safari.

I have already cleared the cache, etc.

Ax and George paid for the first 18 months or so. I'll maybe make another call for donations some time this year.

Can you use the BAT that I have sent?

I just sent another 5 BAT tip and a 1 BAT tip.

Klaus, all I see for twitter links is a gray bar. If, however, I right click and print the post I can see the URL and link to it in the print preview. Weird. Not sure if that gives you anything to go on. Here's a screenshot.

@Mik I could try to add the modified version of the plugin which adds a link to the tweet below the embedding again.

Did you have that same problem before the forum crash?

Can you see embedded tweets on other forums?

Is anyone else suffering from the same problem?

You said that you have the same problem on desktop and phone, right? It's rather strange that the same problem occurs on two such different setups, but it doesn't seem to occur with anyone else. Do you have that problem on your phone only when you go through your local wireless network, or also if you use the phone network's data connection?

Mik · wrote on 27 May 2022, 14:25

No, this never happened before the crash. I don't have any problem on FB or anything else. It's no longer occurring on my iphone, with or without my wifi.

Mik · 27 May 2022, 15:31

I just checked. It still occurs on my PC even when I'm connected to phone hotspot, but not on the iPhone.

Klaus · wrote on 27 May 2022, 15:30

OK, then it's not related to your WiFi.

So the problem shows up on your PC, but not on your phone, right?

On your PC, could you try with a different browser?

mark · M Mik 27 May 2022, 14:32

@Mik If I am connected to a VPN I get strange behavior too. Maybe going through the hotspot is a similar issue.

I installed Opera and it seems to work. I have looked at my settings in Edge and played with the ones that I thought might have some effect and nothing. Any suggestions?

Mik · wrote on 27 May 2022, 16:34

I also logged in as a sock and have the same problem. It would appear to be browser related. But what?

Klaus · wrote on 27 May 2022, 16:35

I tried it with Edge on my computer and the tweet embedding works fine.

Maybe you have particularly restrictive JavaScript-related settings?

Mik · wrote on 27 May 2022, 16:44

No, but I had tracking prevention set to strict. I had tried changing to basic and/or balanced, but I did not close the browser then log in again. Set to balanced now it seems to be working.

I'd much prefer strict, myself, but this works. I tried adding Twitter as an exception in strict but it still did not work.

It's funny, because I've always been on strict. Might be something in the new release.

Mik · wrote on 27 May 2022, 23:08

Just as a postscript, I changed it back to strict. With the workaround I found on Twitter links, the ads I had to put up with on the relaxed privacy setting are far worse.

Is the Twitter plug-in broken?

Twitter posts don't show up using ~~two~~ ~~three~~ four different browsers.

Looks like embedding YouTube doesn't work either.

Embedding aquas sister is still easy though.

Fake news. You know as well as I do that she rarely uses a bed.
