Technical Question Updated

I no longer see tweets. If a tweet is posted the only thing I see is a link to tweet. But that's it. I used to be able to read the tweet and didn't have to click through to Twitter to see/read the content. Now, I literally only see "link to tweet" and nothing else.

Any troubleshooting suggestions? TIA. ❤


UPDATE:
Thanks so much to everyone who replied, offered support and suggestions. I still don't have any answers to my question even though there's been a solution.

As mysteriously as the phenomenon started it has now ended and tweets are back to loading in their entirety. I have nothing to offer as the reason for this reversal of fortune except Christmas.

I am therfore posting this as verification of a true and duly verifiable Christmas miracle, because it clearly can't be anything else. I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. And to all a good night. Ho, ho, ho!

1. I'll be following replies to your question

as I don’t like going to Twitter either.

2. It's sad to see the way Twitter posts have begun to dilute the content here.

If I wanted to read Twitter I wouldn't bother logging in here. The other thing that is a disappointment is that it's fairly easy to copy and paste the tweets but few bother to do it.

I have just been passing on the posts here that consist of nothing but "link to tweet" by closing them as swiftly as I open them. Total waste of time.

Thanks for the reply.

3. It might be the way it gets posted. I check to make sure the

Tweet shows. You have to hit the right twitter button or it will appear as a link.
And some times it takes a few seconds for the full tweet to appear.

6. It seems unlikely that everyone would be missing the correct button

all at once, no less.

4. I'm having the same problem

here and on another board. I recently changed to DuckDuckGo from Google and I assume that caused the problem, but I can't find a way to change it.

7. I've used DDG consistently for years and it's only recently been an issue

There was a glitch like this a couple, three years ago, but I don’t remember what the solution was. Things just started working correctly, if I remember right.

8. Kicking for exposure

to those who have the ability to fix things ‘round here.

9. Check the security settings on your browser.

If they are cranked up too high, things can stop working correctly with cross-site posts.
Blocking some third-party cookies might also be a problem, maybe.
