Do you know why, when posting a twitter link, it does not appear in the post until you hit "Quote" ?
I checked your recent posts to see Twitter content appears normal, as indicated in the attached screen capture.

firefox latest version
Windows 10 latest version
That one I had to load three times before it came up. There are posts from others that don't appear either.
It's not my computer of OS. the posts don't appear on my Iphone or Ipad either.
Nothing shows up. EDIT: It embedded the twitter link in this post but only AFTER I made my follow up post here in the feedback/suggestions forum, the line directly above where I'm typing right now has the twitter link.
DoubleEDIT: Editing this post to include the previous line REMOVED the embedded twitter link again.
Editing my post I can SEE THE LINK I'm trying to embed.

However once I QUOTED MYSELF in the next post the original post properly embedded the twitter link.
This makes me think it's an Internet Brands issue and not a Twitter API issue. You guys are the miracle workers though, I barely understand how it all works.

When we receive reports of issues, especially when we cannot easily duplicate them, we often ask for the basic information (such as OS, Browser, plugins/extensions, etc.,) because not only can it make a difference, it can be a factor. My primary environment is Firefox on Windows 10, which I didn't see the issue as my screen capture shows Firefox.
Regarding the iphone or ipad, and not having any more details provided beyond that to go off of, that could be an entirely separate issue.
We may need more information and investigating. Understand that content is served from Twitter, not Internet Brands or G35, and all that we're doing is setting up instructions for your browser to download and display the content within the post. That means the issue could be on Twitter's end or with your connection to Twitter's network because the content is served from them.
What might help is setting up a one post only thread with a twitter link. And if you don't see the content displayed properly, use the Page Source feature (right-click) and then copy/paste all the content. Then you can email the content to me. We can then see if the code is being parsed correctly. If it is, then the issue would point to Twitter. It's possible there is a bug in the system that randomly causes the instructions to fail and thus not allow the browser to download and display the content.
For an example, below is the source code specific for one of the Twitter postings referenced above. As you can see, the content is served by Twitter. We simply provide the "framework" to display it within the post. That "framework" shouldn't change. That "framework" tells your browser/network to go to X site and retrieve the data.
If, for some reason, your network/browser cannot connect to Twitter and their API, you're not going to get the content. You'll get a blank div.
Regarding seeing the link or not, from what I'm seeing and read, that part is normal. When you Edit a post, you're not supposed to see that markup in the editor. That markup is added on the fly, during normal viewing (non-editing).
@IB Jason Ok I created a thread in the moderator forums linking another Lou Dobbs post and it failed to embed properly, I send you a PM via G35DRIVER message system. If you need it emailed the PM me a good address and I'll send it there as well.
Something of note, I tried multiple other twitter accounts and only the Lou Dobbs twitter failed to embed? Sort of thinking this is a twitter problem and not a G35DRIVER problem.
EDIT: Nevermind it does it for anything posted from twitter, refreshing the web page makes the twitter embed show up if it didn't display properly the first time.

The API is properly called in your example from the view source. So the code, which is what we provide, appears to be working correctly.
This means it's either something between you and Twitter (since Twitter serves the content and it doesn't pass through G35) or it's possible there is an issue related specifically to Twitter's API itself. The latter would appear most likely given there are different members reporting the issue. I'll do some more research and discuss with the team. It's possible this is some sort of limit by Twitter under the current usage.
