@bobwest as well

Can you tell me if this issue is persisting today and if so, provide a current example? I looked at the linked post/thread and couldn't see an issue.

Including @bobwest @Oberfeldwebel and @Symple

OK, I think I know what is happening. It is extremely difficult for me to test, so I haven't But I believe I implemented a fix, so if you could check and let me know that would be great.

@Big Mike,

I have only seen this on this one occassion, so it probably had to do with that post.

When I looked at the linked post just a few moments ago, this is what I saw:



All of those odd litlle icons are supposed to be chart images.

I went into the Quote editor, and saw the actual link he had for one of the images, which is enclosed in screencast tags.

As I was trying to type in the link in this message, I got the exact same funny little icon for it. Then, in an attempt to see if I could just show the link as text and not get that icon, I tried putting it into a code window. To my surprise and total befuddlement, when I did that it rendered the image as an actual image, this one:



This is now what I'm getting for the image outside the Code window also.

To be clear, before I put it into the Code window, all I got was the little icon. Now, not only does it render correctly outside of the Code window, but I went back to the original post, the one I made the picture of with all those funny icons things that I printed just above, and now all the chart images are there as intended, as charts, not funny icon things.

So the sequence today, as I was typing this, was:

1. The screencast links were not rendering as images in the original post, on my machine and browser.
2. I copied the screencast link into this post, and it still didn't render (got the same little icons.)
3. I put it into a Code window, thinking it would just show the underlying text of the link, and suddenly it rendered the image, in this post.
4. Now, all the links in the original post, the ones that were showing as the odd icons but not as images, are displaying the images just fine.

I am glad I grabbed a screenshot of how Dan's post looked before, because now it looks like this:



The area marked in blue covers the first two links in the first screenshot, the one that only has them as funny icons.

So there you have it. The images were not there, then after putting the screencast in the Code window, my browser seems to have remembered what to do and now the originals all show fine, in this post and in Dan's original one -- on my machine and browser.

If you read the posts that followed Dan's linked post, you will see that apparently no one could see the charts at the time, because they all ask where the charts are. So it was a general phenomenon, although clearly when you looked at it, it all looked fine to you.

I have been able to view charts in the past that were in screencast links with no problem, on this machine and brower (it's the current Chrome -- Version 110.0.5481.178 (Official Build) (64-bit))

So that's the story.

Bob.

I believe you can thank Elon Musk for this, he restricted API access to those only willing to pay $200k/mo for access.

I'll look for an alternative. It's on my list.

Mike

Thx Mike, this must be something else.


far as I can remember I was never able to see tweets: this issue pre-dates Elon's Twitter by a lot.


But don't worry about me - I always tend to tweak my browser configuration so I am willing to live with the consequences of my actions

Seems to have worked as expected @xplorer, if you could point me to a broken post please do.

Mike

This is what I see




I know there's a Tweet embedded because if I quote that post I see it, but it doesn't show up on my browser.


Again, not a big deal for me - but if solving my problem helps others then I'm all for it.

I would like to solve it as Twitter is important on our site.

are you blocking anything, scripts etc that might be interfering with it? Might be some sort of privacy setting since it involves Twitter even?
