46. Only the blue link for me on my laptop

But apparently that's also browser and device dependent.

On my mobile device, the content of the tweet is always displayed instead of the link. So if someone would copy paste or embed the content, the tweet is shown twice.

Thank YOU! smirkymonkey Jun 2020 #1

Sorry, I completely forgot about all that. Maraya1969 Jun 2020 #11
Another way to do this would be to post the content in the first reply gristy Jun 2020 #12

It depends on how you have your browser's security DeminPennswoods Jun 2020 #20
Wrong, at least in some instances. On Mon, I could see the tweets in the OP's. On Tues, I niyad Jun 2020 #22

I just click on the little twitter logo in the uppe right corner and the message pops up. CTyankee Jun 2020 #15
That works, but only if more than just the blue "link to Tweet" shows up. niyad Jun 2020 #24
Then, I think, I get another, larger logo and click on that to get the tweet, IIRC... CTyankee Jun 2020 #50
here are some i've tweeted lately (i'll try to remember to copy the message from now on) orleans Jun 2020 #16

I don't have problems seeing tweets on DU even on Windows XP Denzil_DC Jun 2020 #33
I have an old iPad & will shortly have a new one... Hekate Jun 2020 #48

please help... handmade34 Jun 2020 #19
Yes I can see it gristy Jun 2020 #21
do you have a twitter account? handmade34 Jun 2020 #26
I do not have a twitter account and I can see all tweets posted on DU gristy Jun 2020 #28
I DO NOT have a twitter account, but I can see them and I post many. Here is how to do it hlthe2b Jun 2020 #39
No. All I see is the blue "link to tweet" niyad Jun 2020 #25
is it because you don't have account? handmade34 Jun 2020 #27
Up until Tues, I could see the embedded links. Then I couldn't, and actually had to go to Twitter. niyad Jun 2020 #30
No, not having a Twitter account should make no difference. Denzil_DC Jun 2020 #34
What kind of device are you using? Is this maybe a mobile limitation? Roland99 Jun 2020 #29
If you want help with this problem, I think you're going to have to supply some information. Denzil_DC Jun 2020 #36
Chances are it's the age of one's computer and/or browser. HotTeaBag Jun 2020 #40
I don't think it's age of system or browser necessarily. Denzil_DC Jun 2020 #41
It is my computer and browser. HotTeaBag Jun 2020 #44
Chances are, it's twitter trying to more efficiently monetize the content. Hermit-The-Prog Jun 2020 #52
Could be. HotTeaBag Jun 2020 #54
Only the blue link for me on my laptop Hav Jun 2020 #46
Just the blue "link to tweet" Hekate Jun 2020 #49
I apologize for handmade34 Jun 2020 #51
Thank you so much Hekate Jun 2020 #53
What happens when you click on the link? gristy Jun 2020 #23
The point is that there should be some preview of what lies at the link JHB Jun 2020 #31
yes.... although handmade34 Jun 2020 #32
It's supposed to appear, but sometimes it doesn't JHB Jun 2020 #35
makes sense... handmade34 Jun 2020 #37
Thank you for saying it superpatriotman Jun 2020 #38
FWIW - Often they are just slow loading and reloading the page can pop them in here Lucinda Jun 2020 #42
This could indeed be the answer for some people. Denzil_DC Jun 2020 #55
