I keep getting Refresh Error on Twitter Trends: 404 all the time. Is there any way to fix it.

Other than that, great app!

Didn't saw the posts before my post sorry!

Hi,

I have downloaded the twitter gadget a long time ago. It worked just fine, untill today. It doesn't recognize my twitter user/pass and gives me invalid login. I 've tried to restart sidebar, removed the gadget and drag it on the desktop again. But too bad it still doesn't work.

If it works it is a great gadget, so please help me! =)
Thnx already!

I re-installed your gadget now it just keeps on saying invald password. I know the password is correct , any sugestions?

hey there.. ok so i really really like the gadget!! it was working great... then it stopped updating. it hasn't updated in 2 days. i've fiddled with the amount of time before an update. i've re-added the gadget to the sidebar, and i've even uninstalled it and reinstalled it. right now i've tried changing the password but i have to wait an hour before i can log in. if it doesn't work what should i do next?

I'm having the same issues as Ross! I really hope that it will be updated soon since nothing seems to work.

Yeah, OAuth needs to happen like NOW. I love this app, and it's my primary way of using twitter. I've tried other sidebar gadgets, which just don't compare. Now Twitter has disabled basic authentication, so Twitter Explorer is broken.

Good job on the twitter gadget, it is very handy. One minor annoyance - when I have scrolled down the timeline to catch up on tweets, a refresh sends it back to the top forcing me to scroll back down to find where I was.

Gadget totally borked. getting invalid login message even though I know credentials are correct. Have restarted gadget/sidebar/windows, deleted xml file restarted again, etc. Why cant you make some time to work on this gadget and fix the problems everyone is having? Over a year and no updates/patches/fixes. May have to find another twitter gadget.

34 posts and nearly a year later, still no updates. It is a shame as this is arguably one of the best Twitter Gadgets out there. When you B.A.G. guys gonna show this one some love?

Love this gadget. Use it on 4 different PC's. However, starting yesterday the gadget died on one of my PC's. It would never get new tweets, getting stuck in a permanent "Refreshing" state. I went through the general troubleshooting steps and removed the applicable .xml files, uninstalled the gadget completely, etc. Now with a fresh copy of the gadget, it can't login! I've triple checked everything and it just seems as though I'll have to wait for 1.0.1 since your gadget is really buggy

hi.. ur gadget twitter explorer rocks… its also.. but.. i have a little sugestion.
Im at my job and im under a proxy, so the gadget could have some “network settings” to insert the proxy settings, because when i type my user and password, it says “invalid login” and i cant connect. but i can use the gadget from my home normaly… so.. thats it

Great gadget, but a few comments. As already shown above, font size is at the top of my list. It would be nice to have a button to show DM's and would also be nice to be able to DM someone from the feed. Fully adjustable height would be awesome. Keep up the good work!

Yo. I concur on the retweet function. It's never worked for me. Another thing you might do is add an option for a 'mega version' of the gadget. I hand edited the gadget to be 950 pixels high to take up the entire side of one sidebar 'window'. Now I can see more tweets at a time and not have to scroll as much. Maybe that could be a 5th option in the future? Just a thought.

Just realised that I am not getting incoming DMs. Apart from that, it's really useful to have it in Vista Sidebar.

Hey - little help please, downloaded the gadget, but it keeps telling me it is an invaild login. It is definately correct as i can log in to my twitter account just fine with the same info.

any suggestions?

thanks

What is up with the rate limit? What does this mean? Mine shows 150/150 and I haven't had an update in over 5 hours. Is this something that is mandated by Twitter or something in the addon?

thanks.

We'll see what we can do about the re-tweet feature, they may have changed something in the API. We'll consider lists as an added feature, but we'll need to know more about how they're implemented first.

Great gadget. One tiny request, any plans to update the gadget to support twitters new retweet format? The new retweets show up as blank.

Hey, great job, really, I love it. Very convenient!
The thing is, every update says it was updated "about 16 hours ago" -- i mean, ALL the updates.

Plus, there's a list feature and beta retweet feature twitter web has now.
It will be great if you update this gadget an incorporate these new features.

Other than that, terrific idea. One of my favorite gadgets ever.

Hi ITForensic, We have added your suggestion to our master list for review in our next update. Please let us know if you have any other thoughts or suggestions. Thanks.

Hi Wilksie, Sorry you had to deal with that problem. I don't think that this would be specific solely to having numbers in the password as mine has numbers in it and works fine. It is possible that a leading or trailing zero did not get recognized properly so if your pass either, that could be the source. I have passed this on to our developers and they are going to look at the issue more closely. Please let us know if you have any other issues and thanks for using our Twitter gadget.

I love your gadget but I would like to see https implementation...Lots of people sniffing open hotspots..;-)
Keep up the good work!

Great gadget and very usable. One slight problem though. I found that when my password was all numbers it's not reconised in the gadget. It took me ages to work it out as when i changed my password on the twitter page (using the same password of just numbers) i could log in but not on the gadget. When i changed my password to all letters... winner!

This gadget works fine on a basic level but there are some weird issues here. Seems as though that whenever I try to make changes to the gadget's appearance, the theme reverts back to the blue style. I prefer a darker theme so I selected that but I end up having to repeatedly go back into the preference to reset it.

Another issue I have is whenever I make changes in the preference, the gadget would prompt for user/pass, even though I was on just seconds ago. Combine this with the annoying aspect of having to reset your theme whenever you make changes and it becomes a real pain to try to use.

Hi Marcia, The font size has proven to be the most frequent suggestion that we've received. We will be sure to include in our next update and will post when that is available.

I will add to the request for larger font size. I like this gadget because of the theme choices (I can't read white on black like so many others) but the font size is teeny!

theMezz,

Right now there is no functionality to change font size but we will put that in our list of potential upgrades for our next release. Thanks for the feedback.

Anyway to make the fonts larger??

great gadget! thanks guys! sugestion: add proxy settings (cannot use gadget well behind proxy server - keep getting 407 errors from twitter on posting) I am getting my updates, just cannot post. :(

Best Windows gadget for Twitter I've seen. One suggestion: It's be nice to adjust the font size of the tweets. It's a little small at my screen resolution. Otherwise keep up the great work!

hi.. ur gadget twitter explorer rocks... its also.. but.. i have a little sugestion.
Im at my job and im under a proxy, so the gadget could have some "network settings" to insert the proxy settings, because when i type my user and password, it says "invalid login" and i cant connect. but i can use the gadget from my home normaly... so.. thats it

see ya

Hi, I'm having the same trouble as Tom with the gadget "stuck" on "Sending...". I've tried re-adding the gadget and restarting the sidebar without success. Any other suggestions?

I got problem with the server update. 'The update server is not currenly funtioning', this is the message that I got, if i need to check for update. Could you help me?

Hey, so when I login to this gadget, it just says "sending" interminably. Any way you could help me out? I'm sure it's my fault, but I would still like this to work....

Great job as a first version guys. I'm glad to see a Twitter client that doesn't use Adobe Air; a Vista/Win7 gadget is a perfect way to implement a full Twitter client. I do have a few comments.

One thing I noticed just recently is Twitter Explorer tends to add a trailing space to all messages, meaning if you're technically at exactly 140 characters, you still can't submit the message. The addition of a trailing space will bump it over the gadget's internal length checker; obviously if it was sent to Twitter it would just be truncated.

I did some testing and it turns out this is being done by your FLYOUT_Encode_URLs() function, specifically the [xString += X + " ";] line. Might I suggest wrapping xString in a leading/trailing space trimming function before returning it, such as this one: http://www.qodo.co.uk/blog/javascript-trim-leading-and-trailing-spaces

Hopefully in a future version you can work out shortening URLs before the message is sent to Twitter so that the extra space allowed by the short URL can be utilized.

Any chance of getting Twitter Explorer to update more frequently than every 3 minutes, like every single minute? I don't do a ton of updating and would imagine the 150 API accesses would still be enough for this.

Lastly, don't forget to go through the Twitter Application registration (http://twitter.com/oauth_clients/new) if you're using OAuth (I admit I haven't looked much into it) so you can get "from [App]" credit!

Thanks & good work!
