Okay.
This post shows nothing when you click Show Full Post on the BBS thread.
This one shows the text, but not the video. We’ll ignore the video for now, that’s a separate problem to this one.
They both have a <div>
with class featuredimage that contains the video. After that there’s a <div>
with the id of story. The main difference between the two articles is that the drummer article has very little content inside that div, with only nine plaintext words, a single word link, and an image. Looking at the smokestack article the story div contains an entire paragraph, complete with link.
So the issue seems to be that the readability algorithm is ignoring content it considers too short which can be a problem on a website that sometimes post a link, and image, and the words “Look at it!”
