# If You Use Disqus, There Might Be Issues with External Site Links When Displaying Pages in the iOS Twitter App

<p>If you are using Disqus for your blog's comment system</p>
<p>When viewing the page in an iOS Twitter client app and clicking on a link to an external site, it resulted in a blank page without transitioning properly.</p>
<p>Initially, I couldn't figure out the cause, but it seemed that the Disqus JS was the problem. (When Disqus JS is loaded, it attaches strange methods to the link event handlers)</p>
<p>Since I wanted to continue using Disqus, I decided to disable Disqus JS only when accessed from the Twitter client.</p>
<p>You can determine if the client is Twitter by checking the User-Agent. Here's a simple way to do it:</p>
<p>var isTwitter = navigator.userAgent.match(/Twitter/);</p>
