@Summit and I were discussing this earlier and other posters noted the same.

Not sure if something has been updated on the Caf but certain tweets keep on forcing you to reload the entire page (as if you’ve lost connection).

Thought the issue has gone but just started started again in a different thread. Any ideas?

Ah so that’s what it is, the “self defence” thread sent Safari into a fit earlier.

Same problem here in the general. Self defence or not thread kills the cafe for me.

the clearest indication yet that the caf is becoming self aware and trying to kill twitter like the virus it is.

Yup, happened for me when I attached the tweet about Maguire. Thought it was just me but obviously not!

Looking for the answers...
Had this too on the self defencethread on both my iPhone and on Microsoft edge on my laptop.

Happening on the Shinzo Abe thread also.

Is it a twitter embed thing? On another forum I frequent embeds have stopped working — not sure if the Admin disabled them for this reason, perhaps?

The ‘self defence or not’ thread crashes for me when it opens on page 1.

Just looking for patterns here, given it sounds like not every Twitter thread is creating problems...

I've just tried these two threads (Edge on Android phone) and they both loaded fine and the media ran ok.

I did notice that they included one of those content-warning dialogue boxes that I had to click to view the media, but clicking the warning notice worked as normal.

I'm just wondering if thread loading is being affected by the dialogue box? Anybody got links to other threads that are having the problem? Preferably outside the general so I can check whether being a mod or having no ads etc is affecting it.
