    @Rainman do embedded Tweets still not show up when you use the forum?

    Do they a) never show up or b) sometimes show up? What OS/browser do you use?

    If you click on this link, does a bunch of computer code show up?

    I know I am not Rainman, but I will answer in my experience.

      @taiwan_girl Thanks for the report. It's always very hard to fix an error without being able to reproduce it, that's why I'm trying to find out what may cause Rainman's problems and what his system is.

        Klaus, the embedded tweets never show up, and yes, the link did open up the page of computer code.
        I'm on Windows 10 / Chrome.
        But, the text link works fine for Tweets.

          Do you have any plugins/extensions installed? Could you check whether the tweets appear when you browse the site in "private mode" (which disables most extensions AFAIK)?

            Klaus, in "incognito" mode, the Tweets do show up!
            I wonder if it might be Ghostery, my ad blocker?
            Anyone else use Ghostery? It's excellent, as it not only blocks ads on web sites, but removes ads on Youtube.

              I use Ghostery Lite and Adblock Plus Control Panel with Safari 13.1.1 on macOS 10.15.5 ... embedded tweets show up fine with this combo.

              Also tried Chrome (version 83.0.4103.116) with Adblock and Ghostery on macOS 10.15.5 ... embedded tweets show up fine with this combo.

              Also tried FireFox (version 77.0.1) without any adblocking or anti-tracking plugin/extension on macOS 10.15.5 ... embedded tweets show up fine with this combo too.

                @Rainman this seems to be a known issue with ghostery. Here you can find a few things to try to make embedded tweets work,

                The problem seems to be with the abblocker and not the way the forum embeds tweets. Blame shifting is wonderful!

                  Thanks, Klaus. I deactivated the Twitter block as well as syndication on Ghostery.

                      I think so.
                      But to be sure, why don't you embed a Tweet in this thread, and I'll give you a direct answer.

                                    But on the other hand this seems to have killed the Twitter embedding! I'll investigate...

                                        As a temporary workaround, I've disabled Twitter embedding such that tweets result in links that can be clicked on.

                                          Just for my opinion, If it was a choice between one and the other, I would rather be able to see the Twitter than to have the spoiler alert.
