All tweets embedded in posts have never made it past "Loading" over the past several weeks - have seen this on multiple devices. Something I'm missing?
 
Are you using Firefox?

Firefox's tracking protection blocks embedded tweets.
It blocks a lot of other things too.
That's something Twitter will have to work out with Mozilla.
 
Chrome

This is what I see on both my phones and laptops:

Also tried viewing this page in an incognito window as well without logging in - same result

Same as in you can't see them or you can see them?

I'm not running an adblocker on my phones or my laptops for the forum. At a loss of what it could be.

Here is the script I see running for each tweet frame:

Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html><!-- This file is PUBLIC DOMAIN. Idea inspired by https://twitframe.com --><title>Content from Twitter</title><body style=margin:0><blockquote class=twitter-tweet><a data-dnt=true rel=nofollow>Loading tweet...</a></blockquote><script>var a=document.body.firstChild,d=window.navigator||{};a.firstChild.href="//twitter.com/user/status/"+location.hash.substr(1);d.languages&&d.languages.length?a.setAttribute("data-lang",d.languages[0]):d.language&&a.setAttribute("data-lang",d.language);addEventListener("message",function(b){if("s9e:"===b.data.substr(0,4)){b.stopImmediatePropagation();var c,e=b.data.substr(4);setInterval(function(){c===(c=document.documentElement.getBoundingClientRect().height)||100>c||b.source.postMessage({height:c,id:e},b.origin)},100)}})</script><script src=//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js></script>
 
I see tweets just fine in Opera and Firefox. And even Edge.
 
I have the same issue on my PC using FIrefox.
I use chrome on my tablet and that works fine, as well as chrome on my PC.
It is a FIrefox thing I guess. I have not been able to figure out how to fix it tho.
Even reset my firefox profile or whatever it is called and had a fresh go of it, same issue.

If I right click open as a new tab it takes me to twit and loads the page fine.
BUT, if I click the loading tweet link directly I get a message in a white box that says:
Blocked by Content Security Policy

This page has a content security policy that prevents it from being loaded in this way.

So I have been just opening them in a new tab as a work around.
 
Embedded tweets are blocked on chrome when the "block third-party cookies" content setting is set to enabled. It might be something similar for other browers.

Edit: If you use that setting, you should be able to whitelist cookies from: platform.twitter.com

I just made an exception in Firefox for twitter cookies and now everything loads as it should.
Very nice, Thanks for the tip.
