Twitter Embeds not working

[SwimModSponges]

Twitter links show up horribly on the desktop browser, btw.

Screenshot pls?

I'm probably just projecting my inability to understand simple concepts on to the website.

 

Yeah that doesn't look too bad I guess but the black-on-black background in the actual post is difficult.

It looks half-loaded, def doesn't look like that on my PC

And this is what happens when I click one of those links directly instead of the workaround I've been using where I right-click and open the image in a new tab.

I'm probably the one breaking it aren't I?

[SwimModSponges]

Yeah that's all twitter posts for me.

Hey these posts are off topic and should probably be removed or like moved somewhere else or something.

Works fine on my chromebook. Sounds like a YP

What browser do you use? I feel like someone else was complaining about Twitter not embedding for them properly either a while back.

I fuck shit up like nobody's business.

Yeah, is how they show up for me here while the page continues trying to load things in or something. Occasionally one seems to get stuck and never fully loads into tweet format. Oddly, maybe just confirmation bias in my head, but I wanna say most of the ones that seem to get "stuck" are ones you post..

Goddamnit I don't want to troubleshoot shit today.

In fact I'm just going to keep posting about this in the McCarthy thread out of pure spite.

I have admittedly been posting a lot of tweets recently. Hmm. 

Is it a browser thing? I'd have to look into it. They were such a convenient shortcut but if people aren't all able to see them then maybe we'll have to back off.

They always do that until the page finishes loading and pages with Twitter links take longer. 

Its mostly only a problem on my home laptop because it's ancient and yeah....sometimes they never load...or not in the amount of time I spend on the page..., but on everything else just takes 5-10 seconds to decide it should act right.

None of mine ever load, on chrome. 

Tried to check it on edge but I can't see current events as a guest so I said fuck it and decided to just complain instead.

Also don't worry about changing your post style just so people can see what you post, nobody cares anyways.

Zing.

That's not true and I'm sorry.

Probably also a case of more twitter links on one page = takes longer for each to load. You post a new one, and it's always last in line to be loaded after all the old ones, which don't seem to really cache or anything.

I'm on firefox, and kinda lazy with updates..

Still, the way sponges describes it, none of them ever load ever for him, which isn't the experience on my end. They're just not very snappy is all.
