    Quick question:

    Why are there so many blank replies recently?

        Is your phone/tablet set to only display video when connected to WiFi?

        There are quite a few recent replies (especially on the German Music thread) that are only embedded videos, tweets or images.

        Those also appear blank on the "Active Topics" page.

          I only ever come onto OTF when at home, but I am using Wifi at home on my laptop.

          However, I haven't set it up to block videos or anything, but I do use a VPN (always) which might be the cause. I dunno really, I was just curious. I can usually see any videos, and certainly can see my own. It's actually been a few of yours (ua) which have piqued my curiosity, and mentioned elsewhere about you taking a vow of silence, when I saw a blank reply for the third time (Trump's Card, probably).

            Could be embedded tweets with no other content - do you see embedded tweets at all on otf?

              I used to, but I don't think I do, now.

                I had the same thing last week when I was roaming or on someone else’s WiFi, but it’s ok now I’m home.

                  Sounds like I need to go back to pasting the URL after the embedded Tweet.

                    So that was indeed it.

                    Quite curious, especially for it to be WiFi-dependent

                      I've had that for a while; I narrowed it down to a browser extension I'd fairly recently installed to stop tracking cookies, which was killing all the embedded tweets. So I switched off Twitter blocking for this domain and it's gone back to normal now, for the most part.

                        Well, if you'd like this a tester, the post after this one will contain a tweet and nothing else. Sometimes I have to refresh to see them.

                            Yep, no problems for me there, just now.

                              Still having issues, but brought it here rather than fuck up the Trump thread anymore than usual

                              Chrome is up-to-date.

                              This all just happened suddenly, so I suspect it's something I downloaded, but can't be sure when.

                                  How did you do that?
