When I return to a thread I've been keeping up with, its opening the thread to the most recent Twitter post instead of the new post I went there to read. Its not a huge deal, but a bit annoying to have to scroll down through posts you've already read.
Anybody else having this issue?

Yes.
Additionally, I am not sure if I'm liking the new Twitter feature. I really do like it for breaking news, but there are so many posts from lame/unreliable sources. I think they look "cooler" and readers are often getting confused because some folks are using them to fuel an agenda rather than as a legit source of information.
I fully understand my position is almost certainly in the minority and that I don't expect anything by posting the above. I just wanted to get that off my chest because it seems to have had some negative consequences.

I just know I'm extremely surprised that Vers is upset about this.
I am unfamiliar with this feeling of optimism

Anybody else having this issue? Yup, everyone is having this issue. It is a technical side-effect of the new Twitter stuff combined with how a page loads. The post-jumper takes you to an anchor position on the page the moment the page loads, but the Twitter stuff loads after that (that's just the way it is, can't change that). The problem is that when the Twitter stuff loads, it kinda resizes how much space a given post needs, which in turn changes what is on-screen as things get pushed down. I am very aware, but have not yet thought of a way around it. It used to be a lot worse than it is, but I adapted by pre-reserving a certain default amount of space for each Twitter element (which is why you see a certain sized gap when there is more than one in a post). That cut down on much of the resizing effect, but didn't eliminate all of it. Actually, while writing this post, I had an idea of something I *might* be able to use to have it re-jump to the anchor after the Twitter stuff loads, but I'm not entirely certain it will work. It is annoying, but unfortunately, it is what it is.

I haven't done anything, hehehe  I'm betting that it may be slightly intermittent, too, based on the potential size of a Twitter post. Also, if your browser is having trouble loading the Twitter content at any point, that could make things wonky. Glad it's better, though!!

Yeah, I can't see a Twitter post that I'm trying to post in the Preview pane on those fairly rare occasion that I use Twitter posts. That, along with the messing up the post jumper are annoying, but not really that big a deal. Thanks for trying to fix it, and for keeping the site running as well as it does.

j/c Sorry, twitter related but slightly off topic.... What was the fix PPE suggested in order to be able to view embedded Twitter posts? Ever since the function was implemented (last year? two years ago?...) I haven't been able to see a single embedded Twitter post. Always have to quote the post, copy out the twitter url and paste it into a new tab to see what it was. I thought PPE had posted a fix on this forum way back but I never implemented it and now don't see it anymore.

Thanks Purp. Tried the 3 or 4 things suggested on that thread - using Firefox 69.0.1 on Windows 10 - none of them worked. But then again I agree with GMDawg in that thread. If it means I have to remove/lower my security settings by allowing 3rd party cookies and trackers (even though I tried and it still didn't work) - then I'd rather just continue to not be able to see them I guess. *shrugs* oh well

Dump twitter and give us back post jumpers. The forums are almost unreadable for new posts when you keep having to scroll down to find the new posts. Just link to twitter if you must but give us back a working forum.

Yeah, if I had to choose between Twitter feeds being posted and post jumpers, I'd pick post jumpers. I always thought that feature was a big part of what made DT better than other message boards.

But I concede that for Breaking news, it's alright

Just link to twitter if you must but give us back a working forum. Duly noted. Give me some more time to see if I can figure out a better happy medium, and if I can't I will launch a poll explaining the options to all and we'll let folks vote on whether to keep it or roll it out and go back to just linking.

What really sucks is when someone posts a Tweet, and the original Tweeter deletes their Tweet, so there is an empty reply box on the board. People who saw the Tweet before it was deleted respond to it .... but it's just vapor to later readers.

BTT - this is still happening. Reading the Garrett thread yesterday when it blew up, I kept hitting refresh to see new posts and it kept taking me back to the same Twitter post. Scroll, scroll, scroll ...

Don't know if you changed something, but now I can neither post from Twitter nor can I see Twitter posts when others use them. In the "MLB Hot Stove" thread, towards the bottom, there's posts from Grateful and Milkman that don't appear. FWIW, when I switch from IE to Firefox, they are shown. So why don't I switch from IE to Firefox all the time, you might ask? I just prefer IE, its what I'm used to.

I did see that, but I don't know that it is anything I can control. I hadn't touched anything since the thread was first started until yesterday, so any changes in between weren't here.
I would suggest maybe clearing your internet cache & temporary files, see if that helps.

I stopped being able to see Twitter posts in the last week (while using IE). At first I thought it was because of some fix that PPE did, but it turns out he hadn't done anything yet. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't have Edge. I haven't run any Windows updates recently, so I can't figure out what changed. The only thing I can think of is that I ran a Firefox/Mozilla update last week, but I don't know how that would affect IE/Windows operations. I could use Firefox to browse DT, although I don't like it. I suppose I'll be buying a Windows 10 (which I hate) laptop soon anyway, since support is ending for Windows 7.

I have experience with Windows 10 at work, and I hate it. Heck, I liked Windows 98, and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to get Windows 7 when they ended support for '98. Thanks for the link to a free update. I suppose I'll use it, just to continue support. I'll probably also spend some time trying to learn how to program keyboard commands in Firefox because I'm getting tired of Windows jerking me around.

You won’t go bac. I'd probably have to forget 3rd grade to make room to learn a new OS. That would include multiplication tables and long division, and I still use those.

Some things are just worth the sacrifice. Also, since we all have smartphones with calculators on them, do you really need to take up valuable brain cells with multiplication tables?
