As I'm recovering from a computer crash......

I notice something very different. I use Firefox as my default browser, and before my system crashed, OPs on DU with links to tweets would show the tweet itself within the post. Now, in my semi-restored setup, they only show the link, and to see the tweet, I have to click it, and let it open a new tab in Twitter. Does anybody have any idea what's changed? Can I get back to the OPs showing the tweet?

Would appreciate any assistance on this from the DU brain trust!

I know someone will be along soon with the answer, so sorry! all that does is put the link in posts so you can post THEM to twitter, FB, etc.
