Can you replicate that here on Meta? I’ve just tested myself and it seems to be working okay.

I cannot replicate here, I have two Discourse sites, happens only on one of them, clearly caused by the update today. Tested on various computers/browser, the cause is the site it self. My two sites use the same plugins/components.

Did you try with another browser? Does it work on others?

Is there any error in your browser JS console?

Did you try in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true)? If it works with [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) enabled then you can pinpoint the faulty theme/component/plugin by disabling them one by one.

Can you link your forum here so we can see the issue ourselves?

Interesting, yes it works in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true). This is my site: [https://forum-bresil.com/](https://forum-bresil.com/)

Yeah, the results links won’t open the corresponding topic on Chrome Android too.

Can’t say more since I’m in bed 🤓, but then it’s probably a theme/component issue.

Thanks for your help, I will investigate… Tomorrow 😀

Could be an issue with [Topic List Previews](https://meta.discourse.org/t/topic-list-previews-theme-component/209973) (which it seems you are using?). I’ll see if I can replicate. Do you have the capability of installing the sidecar plugin that goes with it? It may relate to the thumbnail support I added to the search results which should not be effected if you do not install the plugin and perform as normal. But might be a breaking change. I’ll look at it today.

**Update: repro’d, investigating**

This is resolved, it was caused by evolution of core and breaking changes.

[https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-tc-topic-list-previews/pull/25](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-tc-topic-list-previews/pull/25)

Please update TLP and confirm.

Thank you @merefield

I am not very familiar with Discourse inner working… 🙄

Could you tell me what I have to do to solve the problem? Do I have to update that Topic list plugin or reinstall my Discourse?

Thank you !

Nowhere near as disruptive as having to re-install Discourse 🙂

Just update Topic List Previews Theme Component within Settings → Customize.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/f/9/bf9a56d5bd50d3331f32c850a6b9812041cbdb2b.png)

In that list of Theme Components you should see TLP

Check for updates manually using the supplied button:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/7/5/a/75ab5d25501359a37d6b42834165321f92bc72b3.png)

And follow the instructions.

Note if that checkbox is checked, it will also update if you upgrade Discourse.

See more here: [Installing a theme or theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-theme-or-theme-component/63682)

btw If you are managing your own install you could also consider installing the Topic List Previews Sidecar plugin (see the OP of the linked Topic) for extra functionality.
