    Default What's the deal with Twitter links?

    I cannot see them here if posted like..in an OP.

    However, if I go to quote the post I can get the link and go see what it's about.

    Is there a way for me to fix this, or no?

    Maybe some kind of forum setting to where I can see Twitter stuff all the time?

    Take for instance "ziggy". ziggy posts OPs based on Twitter links and they just appear blank to me.

    Earl aka bluzman61 used Twatter links a lot, too.

    Biden's censors delay conservative's posts until they have taken screenshots and sent them to the FBI for future criminal investigation. Then they appear on your screen.

    I would prefer a more legitimate answer, thank you.



    Ooo Wee! Check out that machine!

    Double floppy power!

    The big stuff goes on tape drives.

    I doubt machines like that ever hooked up to the internet.

    How old is your browser? You may need to update it.

    It's Firefox ..fairly recent. It does HTML5.

    It's quite up to date. I don't want no experimental garbage.

    Probably newer than the other thread I posted on the same topic. (Which Legion just reminded me of)

    That I never got an answer for.

    It's possible some forum setting stops me from seeing Twatter stuff here.

    The Admin uses a phone. I'm probably barking up the wrong cliff here.

    There is no JPP technical support advisor.
    I'm OK with that.

    Do a search on how to fix the Firefox/Twitter view problem.

    That ain't it.

    The same thing happens in all browsers.

    I explained it, but he doesn't want to accept the truth.

    Nobody can "fix it". Its the unholy alliance of Silicon Valley (Twitter) and the illegitimate Biden regime doing what it does by spying on JPP.

    Your kookadoodle theory lacks basis in reality.
