Did it go away?

Yes. On a refresh.

For what it's worth, I had one of @nevets88 twitter embeds show up half rendered (Spieth making a goof on the driving range). I didn't refresh, but I went to the link directly shown by the "Share" icon. That worked fine, and I was able to play the video full size. Hasn't happened before or since.

That's just a javascript quirk you can't really get rid of. If the page loads too much before the Tweet loads, sometimes they don't expand. Usually if you copy and paste the post # to go to that post directly, or reload and get that post in the viewport (within the browser window), it works fine.

Thanks.  I've had that problem on some videos and my previous approach was to reload the page once or twice, giving up if it didn't render correctly after a few.

Apologies if this is a duplicate. 

I get strange behavior in the top-right of the site when navigating the site.  Currently, it says I'm logged in

If I go to the Tour Talk forum, It says I'm not logged in.  I can go up hit Sign In and when I come back to Tour Talk, it shows I'm logged in.

I have the "remember me" checkbox selected and if I open a new tab and browse to thesandtrap.com it shows me not logged in.  If I hit the banner, boom, I'm logged in.

I am using Chrome on Windows 7.

Empty your cache and delete your cookies that relate to thesandtrap.com, then sign in again. Should be fine.

This is going to seem ridiculously small, but just notice something and figured they could add it to a minor fix list someday:

when you get a notification while you're on the site, there's a black notification box at the bottom of the screen that mentions the person and the title of the thread they commented in. If the title of the thread has an apostrophe, that converts to some HTML character code.  Recently I got notified of a change to the thread "I can reach in one, two,... but can't score well" (or whatever it's title is), but it showed up as "I can reach in one, two,... but can%27t score well" (or something close to that).

No big deal.

Also, while I'm thinking of it, when I search "bug" in the search bar, I don't get any search results. When I search "bugs" I get this thread as the 3rd one listed. The first two seem to have the word "bugs" in just one of the posts, so I'm not sure why they'd be ranked before a result that has "bugs" in its title. Is there a way to elevate search results that have a word in its title? Or is that not appropriate?

It's likely just an encoding issue. I'll file a bug with IPS.

Three-letter searches aren't possible. You can't search for "par" but you can search for "eagle" for example.

I've been seeing issues with Instagram posts lately with most of the post being cut off. Steve posted this. I'm on my work laptop, which is Windows 7. I don't recall seeing the issue on my Mac at home.

That happens if you scroll to it. They don't load in "full space" when they're off-screen. If you reload (especially if that post is visible on screen) when it's on screen it'll work.

It's kind of annoying, but currently an issue with how the scripts work.

This is a weird one that's happened today:

Over the past 4 hours, I've received about 25 notifications on that same thread...it literally just pops up with a new notification every 15 minutes or so, even though there is no new content.

Same happened to me. the notification of Iacas and Jim Bloodworth keeps appearing.

Tip: If you want a link to the last page of a thread that adds pages quickly that always works, no matter how many pages get added, just put:

?page=9999

at the end of the url.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but for the past week, I've been unable to send any messages.   I get this error:

I can't get it to go away.  I've tried different browsers; I've tried on my iPhone.  I think it's a broken draft message or something.
