Is anybody else having problems with Twitter links? They used to show up in the posts, but

Since I came on today, I have to go to Twitter itself to see them. I am not just talking the videos, but even the regular texts and images. Was working yesterday, but not today.

Thanks in advance.

Embedded youtube videos work perfectly. Embedded Vimmeo videos work fine too.

I'm guessing that is not helpful.

I'm on an iPad. Recently updated iOS and all apps. Maybe that fixed it.

Sometimes now they play, most of the tome they don't anymore.
Click the bird in the upper right corner and it will open the link in Twitter.

I don't even like twitter but the DU'ers keep posting links to twitter forcing me to get it. I won't post on twitter just use it for DU.

I never see anything but links to the tweet on my PC and it's been that way for months. I have to right click and open in a new tab to get the tweet to load properly. Same browser on PC and phone. It's annoying.

say message could not be played. Then, I just tried to hit the forward arrow at the bottom of the box and it would redirect to Twitter and play. It seems to have gotten better lately???
