X glitch wipes out most pictures and links tweeted before December 2014::Ellen’s famous ‘most retweeted’ selfie from the 2014 Oscars has had its image restored, but most old tweets have broken short links instead of the media or links that should be there.
The images are still available through direct links. The t.co redirects are broken.
Lol. That’s is? I hate this sensational bs.
Tweets were 140 characters including urls to photos. It means the photo or url linked no longer works because users would shorten links instead of the full image url.
I know. But seems like a very easy fix.
How do I get the direct links from my old tweets? They have the t.co links in the tweet. I didn’t make a list of all the t.co links direct links across the whole site.
