I am talking about reading tweets on this board that others have posted. When I am viewing a page on which someone has embedded a tweet, the tweet won't load. Is twitter blocked where you're trying to read it? Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Tweets just started working again for me this evening. The +1's not updating correctly still happening. I'm using Chrome on desktop Ubuntu. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 This might help with the Tweets issue. I noticed that the tweets are loading in two steps. First just text gets loaded, which is all I've been seeing for the last week or so. Then the image of the Tweet loads with all the associated graphics, which wasn't happening for the last week or so. So maybe there's a setting for bandwidth or speed of loading the Tweets or something like that that's causing the issue. Quote Link to comment

With the Tweets, I would guess it was some combination of the in-progress board upgrade and the OS not handling it right. Just a guess but I wouldn't put too much stock in anything that was going on the last week-ish due to the board upgrade. And I do think you are right about the partial loading of tweets. I've seen it do that before so if things are running slow for whatever reason it might do that. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The spoiler button is missing on the post box. Could we get that back? Also, is there an option to have the Rich Text/Plain Text button back? It was on there when we first started using this version of the board, but it went away right away. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I went to post a status update, but it doesn't do anything when I click this box: I had to use the 'Create' button at the top of the page Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 That happened to me, too, GSG. Quote Link to comment

I don't remember the Plain Text editor ever being on this version. Maybe I just didn't notice it before it was gone. But I don't see an option to add it anywhere. Quote Link to comment

Not really a big deal for me, just bringing it to your attention Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The +1 feature seems to be screwed up. When I hit the +1 it changes from a grayed out blank to a green "0". Used to be it would change to a "1" or one more than it was previously. Also, many posts that prior had +whatever are now showing like they have never been +1'd. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 It works, it's just wonky. I hit your post, it stayed at 0, but when I refreshed the screen it was there. Weird. I've had the same problem @GSG is talking about with the Status. But like @Mavric said, eventually it worked. 1 Quote Link to comment

DaveH Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 In the past, the embedded tweets wouldn't work if you used some software like Ghostery. I know the code works, so I'd be inclined to believe it's likely something on the user end. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 @DaveH I'm not sure it's the user end. I didn't have this problem with the tweets embedding for a while, but tonight I do. Is it browser based? Is it add-ons? Or is it something from the server? I wish I knew more about this stuff to help out. All I can tell you is what's happening here. When they first posted about tweets not embedding it wasn't happening for me. Now it is. Firefox 56.0.2 on a Mac running OS 10.12.6 Quote Link to comment
