Q: Twitter timeline incomplete in Safari sidebar

My twitter feed timeline in Safari's sidebar is consistently missing tweets from a couple of people I follow. On twitter.com the tweets show up, but are missed/skipped in the sidebar.

Deleting twitter from system pref's and then relogging in, does not help; neither does unfollowing then refollowing.

I think must be a bug in Safari integration with twitter.

or

My son thinks Safari is treating some tweets as spam, and using a junk mail filter. He may be correct.

    Might be a cookies, cache, or extensions, issue.

     

     

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.

     

    Click:   Remove All Website Data

     

    Then delete the cache.

     

    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder

     

    Type or copy paste the following

     

    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

     

    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.

     

    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

     

    If that doesn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.

     

    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

     

    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

    Same issue. Missing tweets, seemingly at random. The clearing history/cache made no difference and all extensions are off.

    This Safari feature is called "Shared Links". So Safari actually filters out all tweets which do not contain links.

    That is most likely why some tweets don't show up.
