#15  I use Firefox and I have no problem reading tweets. I guess it's a setting thing or something. I checked and I don't allow twitter JavaScript, yet I can read and also see pictures on twitter.

#12  I use the latest FireFox (73.0.1 (64-bit)) and see them fine, so it must be a configuration problem for some...

#9  "Click the title". Yep. A FF update appears to have deleted embedded tweets. If I go to IE (Ugh!) I can see em, AOSHQ also embeds a lot of tweets

#8  That’s what I intended to say, Fred. Thank you for saying it more clearly.

#7  Clicking through on the Burg headline also takes you to the tweet.

#6  If you can see the image, you can click on the tweet itself to get the article, if there is one — the headline goes to the twitter post. I think of bare bones tweets, those having no accompanying article, as akin to rumours awaiting soldi confirmation. Also, I personally don’t have the attention span to monitor twitter feeds for the needles of soldi information in the haystack, so I am grateful others are willing to sift that for us.

#5  This is what I see:

#4  Fred, I also use Brave, but just get the basic tweet and maybe a pic - no related article. Could be my settings where I have security set high and don't allow Java scripts to run on my machine.

#3  It seems to be a Firefox problem. Using Chrome or Brave I get the tweet properly presented, with the picture and the article link.

I'll try to use more cut 'n' paste from now on, except for when I get lazy.

#2  ^^^ agreed

#1  You know, maybe it's just me but these Twit links are generally pretty useless, since the title of the article is generally the whole content. No context.
