Are there twitter tags on here that are not showing correctly?
I just quoted a post of Aimless', http://theworldforgotten.com/showthr...l=1#post185892 and noticed there were three strings there which just did not display in her post for me at all. Is there supposed to be something there? Is something there for other people?
I've noticed if I quote or edit the twitter content doesn't show up until I refresh. I can see the twitter quotes in your quote. (but your reply is also within the quote).
Continuing on the subject of your out-of-control fantasies, I'm a boy, you frickin' dingdong :o
Huh. The material doesn't show up for me at all, no matter what I do. The only reason I realized something was amiss is that when I quoted Aimnless I see some numeric strings inside [/twitter] vbb code.Quote:

damn, that would explain a lot. A good portion of my posts lately have had twitter sources since Trump loves it so much. They look like this
That post was actually an example from yesterday that had me feeling exasperated with you again because of it. I say the pdf but nothing indicating what you were talking about and was wondering "why does he keep expecting telepathy?" So something on my end is keeping me from seeing material in tweet tags (unless it's some glitch with the Dark Vision theme).Quote:

edit: Nope, not the theme. Probably my script blocker, I won't mark Twitter as a trusted source and it looks like the way the tags work, that means material in them doesn't even show up as something getting blocked, the way it would if I used a link.
I've noticed in the past if I post a Tweet that it doesn't show at first but then does if I refresh. Sometimes when others post a Tweet I see it and other times I don't.
One suggestion Wraith, is it possible to amend the way Tweets are shown show it shows the Tweet and a link to the Tweet directly under/above it? That way if a Tweet isn't shown, the link is still shown to the source [and if it is shown people won't have reason to click the link].
Twitter Link
How's that?
I do see that.Quote:

Those links should now appear below all tweets retroactively, so even if they don't load you'll at least get an indication that you're missing out. Any objections?
Just the link. But that's all I need, right?Quote:

The links work for me - could you give me an example post where it doesn't work for you?
The most recent post by Aimless.
http://theworldforgotten.com/showthr...l=1#post186080
link location shows as http://twitter.com/statuses/%20839792503750602752 which directs to a "that page does not exist" on Twitter, even though the tweet displays just fine when I unblock the scripts.
The embedded tweet and the text link do not point to the same URLQuote:

They can't. For the javascript tweet, the input gets partially resolved to determine the poster of the tweet, but for the non-javascript link I added, I need to go through the generic address and let it get resolved entirely on Twitter's side - I can't give it the same address without running some script calling Twitter's API or requiring additional inputs in order to use the tag.Quote:

So.....
Yeah....
Looking at his Twitter handle I just want to say that I have not become the new Fuhrer.
Ok, so something is going screwy for me again and I'm not sure if it's just something on my end or something related to the site or what so I'm going to post here. I know Twitter links are working for other people but they're not working for me.
What I see when someone posts a twitter link is something like the following
http://twitter.com/statuses/1224360647850450945
And that always leads to a "that page doesn't exist" entry on Twitter.
It used to be that I had a script blocker that was causing some issues on my end but if I allowed scripts from twitter that stopped. But even with Twitter on the trust list that isn't working now. And I'm having this issue with both Firefox and Chrome, the two browsers I use.
Odd that link doesn't work for me either.
But when I see a Twitter embed its got normally a frame with the Tweet and underneath a hyperlink that says Twitter Link that links to the URL of the Tweet. Are you getting the Twitter Link URL and does that link work?
What I see is a hyperlink titled "Twitter Link" and the URL contained in that hyperlink is the one I pasted above (each with a unique* number. That's it. I never see the embed, there's no frame at all.Quote:

Are you using the Atari theme or the white vbulletin theme?
I saw this before on one of my own machines. I can't remember exactly the setting, but it was a security or privacy setting that was preventing the tweets from loading. It was probably either cross-site trackers or one of the script settings. Nothing has changed from the website's end any time recently.
edit: The link below the tweet for people who don't want to lower security settings is something I can fix, though. Looks like there was a twitter redesign at some point (I don't really use it), and that changed the format of the tweet addresses. I've updated our code for the new version.
That tweak worked. I don't care about the embed but it used to be that I could still use the links and do things like "temporarily allow" through my script-blockers and that wasn't working anymore. But your update means I get directed correctly again.Quote:
