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?

@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?

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.

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.

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.

And is much appreciated.

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

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

Good here too. Thanks.

Had a very brief "nodebb" whiteout a few minutes ago t; everything is fine now.

Klaus · wrote on 23 May 2023, 07:06

There's a new major version of NodeBB, which includes a couple of changes to the surface that will be visible.

I'm not quite sure how well that new version fits to our requirements and whether the plugins we use are compatible with it.

I'll give it a try. Thanks to backups, I can revert to the old version. But we can't stay on the old version indefinitely because there will be no security updates.

If you have any comments or stumble upon any issues please let me know.
