What the fuck has happened NOW to the Twitter previews?

First they were just fine, then a few weeks ago the were either squished or fucked up in some other way, and now it's just a blue link, no image. CAN THIS PLEASE GET SORTED ASAP?!

Registration is required to show link previews -- are you registered?

And the box in "Settings" that's labelled "Show Link Previews" must be checked -- is yours checked?

Yes to all R1, thanks.

Oh god, are you saying it is just me?

Are any other people here having the same problem?

by Anonymousreply 2April 12, 2022 6:43 PM

I'm not getting Twitter previews at all. I turn on Show Link Previews and all I get is the blue link to Twitter.

I’ll see them when I first scroll by, but then they disappear unless I refresh.

by Anonymousreply 4April 12, 2022 7:04 PM

This has happened to me too lately. So, it's not just you, OP.

by Anonymousreply 5April 12, 2022 7:19 PM

Jesus Fucking H. Christ, OP: stop screaming.

F&F and Ignore for you.

Are link previews like, hard?

Thanks, Putin!

Thanks r5, it so often IS only me, you made me feel better.

Die in a grease fire r6, that would also make me feel better.

Well, OP... isn't it weird how you read something on Twitter and ten minutes later you go back and it's totally fucked up? The same thing happened to me with youtube an hour ago. All my subscriptions don't show up, I click on my profile icon and it spins around. I did nothing to reset anything.

I just wanted to check in here and tell you I know how you feel. This internet shit is troublesome.

For me, older posts with tweets still preview fine.

New, recent (within the past 1-2 days) posts with tweets do not preview.

I guess they changed it like Instagram (used to be able to preview).

I’ve been having this problem intermittently.

My gripe of the moment is I can’t remove threads from my watchlist. I’ve tried clicking it on my watchlist and at the top of the thread. I’ve also tried on multiple devices. Annoying.

by Anonymousreply 12April 13, 2022 1:16 AM

R12, what I do is open the thread to be removed, click on the red eye at the upper right corner of the thread, then close the thread. If that doesn't work for you, maybe refresh the whole site, or close the site and reopen.

by Anonymousreply 13April 13, 2022 2:13 AM

If I stop on a post wait a few seconds, the blue line opens to show the tweet.

by Anonymousreply 14April 13, 2022 2:42 AM

Call Elon...he can fix it.

by Anonymousreply 15April 13, 2022 4:28 AM

is it fixed now?

by Anonymousreply 16April 24, 2022 11:34 AM

This thread needs a Tweet to see who can see it and who don't.

Can’t preview Twitter anymore. They removed that feature just like they did Instagram.

by Anonymousreply 18April 24, 2022 12:39 PM

Sometimes I see previews, sometimes don't.

by Anonymousreply 19April 24, 2022 1:35 PM

R19

I can only see Twitter previews posted before the change. Same with Instagram. Old posts with Instagram links still preview.

by Anonymousreply 20April 24, 2022 1:40 PM

Nevermind there was one Twitter link just posted that I could preview. Hm, that’s strange.

by Anonymousreply 21April 24, 2022 1:43 PM

I saw a preview before. Odd..

by Anonymousreply 22April 27, 2022 9:41 PM

Elon Musk needs to buy this dump and fix it.

by Anonymousreply 23April 27, 2022 9:45 PM

I have my own issues.

by Anonymousreply 24April 27, 2022 9:47 PM

has someone repaired?

by Anonymousreply 25June 25, 2022 12:11 AM

This is still a problem

by Anonymousreply 26July 8, 2022 10:13 AM

Yes, R26, Twitter is still a problem.

by Anonymousreply 27July 8, 2022 10:16 AM

A couple of days ago, some of the links were appearing as just a blue line and causing DL to freeze for me. Maybe the change to hide the preview is because of that issue?

by Anonymousreply 28July 8, 2022 11:05 AM

Meh. I quit Twitter so what do I care.

by Anonymousreply 29July 8, 2022 11:19 AM

They're working for me just fine. You need to stop blocking Twitter's cookies and trackers through your browser and/or browser extension, so the previews can load properly.
