How do I open this and similar posts which appear on my screen as a portion of a long horizontal bar/
When you say it appears as a long horizontal bar, that suggests that your are not able to access twitter.com or that your browser is configured to not do the things that twitter requires to insert its image. What I see when that post first appears is the long horizontal bar and then a second later, the tweet appears.
There are two steps in what is happening.
1) The server that gives us the CARDboard sees that the source post includes the [Xtweet] and [/Xtweet] delimiters and changes what it sends to your browser to allow for independent content (image, etc) to be inserted there. That is what you see as the long horizontal bar.
2) Your browser takes the URL (aka link) to twitter and gets whatever Twitter sends back and includes that in the independent part.
So, I'd suspect you are somewhere that doesn't allow network connections to Twitter.
Either that, or you have something like a adblocker that prevents this kind of insertion of data from a third-party site (twitter.com is a third party when you are viewing a thecardboard.org page).
I hope that helps.
