After posting tweet

You might be able to avoid Twitter’s box closing on you by opening it in a new tab instead of a popup box. On your PC keyboard, press & hold the Ctrl key and click the Twitter button. If you’re on a Mac, press & hold the command ? key and click the Twitter button.

Thank you for the information and the prompt reply.

I am confused about this because when I visit other sites and click the tweet button, the after-share “successful tweet” confirmation box stays open until I close it. I don’t have to do anything special for that to happen.

Thanks to your clear and simple directions about customizing the share buttons, I got the “via” and “related” parameters to work in the first box that opens when the tweet button is clicked. Perhaps I did that incorrectly and messed something else up?

Or is there a way to get the confirmation box to stay open by adding another line to the “Additional JavaScript” box in Settings?

Perhaps I did that incorrectly and messed something else up?

Not at all, you did that perfectly. And for what it’s worth Twitter doesn’t offer any parameters that would purposely cause such a weird user experience on their site.

The symptom sounds like either a Twitter bug, or a bug caused by something on your computer such as a browser add-on/extension (pretty likely) or an oddly-behaving popup blocker. I wasn’t able to reproduce your issue and this hasn’t been reported by others, so I’d recommend trying different web browsers and devices to narrow down the root cause.

Okay, I’ll work on it. Thank you for your patience and help.
