For some reason, I'm unable to see embedded tweets in forums. This greatly affects my ability to read and enjoy some threads such as the Brianna Wu thread, which features a lot of content from Twitter. I thought it had to do with my add-ons, but I disabled all of the ones that could potentially cause this, and still couldn't see the embedded content. I tried viewing the page in a different browser, which I haven't installed any add-ons for and still couldn't see anything. I'm not sure what may be causing this.

Would it be possible to disable embedding from Twitter? Seeing as how it's much better to screencap stuff than to embed it to protect against deletion of content, it'd be good to attempt to discourage embedding in favor of screencapping.

This is a huge issue. People do not understand that it is the best policy to screencap. Especially with lolcows. They looove to delete shit when it gets brought to their attention they fucked up.
Best policy is to hound the repeat offenders politely. Ask them to screencap citing this deletion issue and your inability to see the embed. If they hear it enough, they just might figure out how to work the screencap.

Yeah, I had to learn this the hard way when we initially started following Brianna Wu. She burns random tweets for no reason so it's just easier to archive or pin the snipping tool to your desktop.

I used to be unable to see embedded tweets as well. Turns out it was Ghostery blocking them. If you use it or something similar, try disabling it for the Farms.

This one thread here refuses to load for me, pretending it will for about a minute before returning a server error. Can anybody else access this thread?

Btw I tried with Firefox on my PC and Chrome on my Android phone.
 
I am not quite sure this counts as a "technical grievance" , but I do not get notifications in my Alerts. Can I change this in settings somewhere? I am using Mozilla, if that matters at all.
 
I can't delete emoticons on my phone sometimes once they're in the text field. I have no idea how this would even happen. It's not the biggest issue in the world and it's kinda funny sometimes but I thought I would mention it.:trump::eggplant:
 
Chat sometimes make the entire page fidget and scroll a tiny bit on Firefox every so often, and Im not entirely sure if it an issue on my end, the farm's end, or if Im just slowly losing my mind.

I think that comes from the ADF counters going from one to two lines and back, everything below that point on the page fidgets a little to adjust for it.

Same. According to my settings, I should apparently be alerted every time I get rated something, but I keep seeing that I've gotten rated, but I have to look manually for where it was/which rating it was.
