whats the deal with the SPORTS LITE link and the others at the bottom of Rant (and other) pages. Things like... Virginia Tech Player Levels Old Dominion Student Rushing the Field After Their Upset Win....wanted to see the vid...clicked and no vid, same with 99% of other links.

Whats the Prob? Is this ongoing? Has a setting in the browser changed? Any tech types with a clue about this?
Please help with this nothingburger. Thanks in advance...

I originally asked about this on Help Forum, No intelligent responses there.

When you say "no vid", does that mean the rest of the page loaded but the video is missing? If so, then your browser/computer/device has a problem loading twitter it seems. Could be malware, could be a legit browser plugin blocking it, could be DNS related with your ISP. Hard to tell without more info.

To start, what kind of device are you using?

If it’s posted by Larry Leo it’s his error.
If not, it’s your service.

Sorry for taking so long. I've got a less than a year old Dell laptop. Recently upgraded to Windows 11. Everyone has the links, just look at the bottom of any TD Forum. It says Latest LSU News then next column Sports Lite etc. It's the stuff Larry Leo puts on The Rant or whatever Forum You are on.

I've been on TD for years and occasionally look at these when I have time and/or interest in them.
I've narrowed this to a browser problem looks like. Using Chrome w/DuckDuck extension seems I get the vids etc.
MS Edge it is there...no vids, not even a still that won't activate.

I'd just use a browser that works, but I'd still have No Idea what was wrong. Just want to understand WHY... what setting etc.

Can you help or did I overload you with info?

Must be some plugin in Edge blocking them.

Thanks Korkstand...your post got me to digging and it was probably some kind of extension or maybe even a PUP of some kind. Everything's back to normal now. I appreciate your time and thoughts...
