@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]

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]

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

[Klaus]

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]

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

[Mik]

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]

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

[Klaus]

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

Maybe you have particularly restrictive JavaScript-related settings?

[Mik]

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]

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.

[George K]

Is the Twitter plug-in broken?

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

[George K]

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.

Hay @Axtremus or @Klaus did you reboot the system?

Seems to be working now.

(I noticed the forum was unavailable for a few....)

Yes. I'm going through a series of updates. Expect more brief outages.

Thanks for the notice and your hard work. It does not go unnoticed.

[Mik]

And is much appreciated.

Does the error still persist? It seems to work fine here.

[Klaus]

(That said, there are still a couple of updates pending - let's wait until all updates are finished before checking whether everything works).
