Sometimes posts are blank?

For example…

3MTA3. I usually can’t see what he posts. The post is just blank. Nothing to read or click on. I can see all the other posts in the thread. I’m assuming it’s videos? Other peoples embedded video links work. I’m using safari on an iphone fyi.

If you push "Reply With Quote" you may find there's an image link in there.
If you copy-paste that link into a browser, you'll probably see what was in the post.

He's probably got one of those keyboards that only does invisible characters. That's my guess.

2 reasonable answers right there.

a black dot would've made it an invisible character too.

A lot of the blank posts I see are from people linking to sites that I block on my network. The laugh thread is the most common one where this happens

If others are playing stupid games writing hidden comments then I don't care what they are saying.

The others I don't see are the ones on my ever-growing ignore list... I went about a decade without one but lately it's growing almost as fast as inflation

Safari could be pin-holing your views.
Don't want you to view those White Supremacist content!

I'm willing to send you $5,000, but I'll need a processing fee sent to me first of only $300. Once I receive your processing fee, I can send you the $5,000.

I can't see a good chunk of images in posts.

Me too, sometimes posts with pictures attached look blank. Fiddling with my adblocker on Firefox usually fixes the issue. I'm guessing some photo hosting sites are being blocked by my adblocker.

Sometimes, some websites are very slow (minutes instead of microseconds). It may be that it's just time, rather than fiddling.

If you use the INSERT IMAGE button, and choose URL, there's a "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" checkbox.

A bunch of the images I post to the Laugh thread are timestamped in the URL, and the timestamp expires after a few days. Had I used "Retrieve remote file and reference locally" they'd probably be visible. But I wouldn't be able to post 15 laugh posts a minute if I did that.
