Twitter not update

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Can you explain what you mean by this, please? Do you mean that you have used a token obtained elsewhere? Have you tried just giving Cumulus your user and password and letting it work in the way it was intended?

With this setting:
[Twitter]
User=avisostiano
Password=<remove>
Enabled=1
Interval=2
OauthToken=
OauthTokenSecret=
TwitterSendLocation=1

The error is
2016-05-29 14:08:02.914 UpdateTwitter: Your credentials do not allow access to this resource.

After that...

I try to using the Token as i do in an other web application that access to my twittwer account (I have see this option blank) and i tried if in this way the problem was solved.

Solved in an other way using weathercloud.net
In this case the message are also correctly localised in Italian language.

There must be something unusual about your system, as no-one else has this problem - but I thought you said you had solved the problem anyway?

Note that Cumulus allows you to tweet any message you want, in any language that you want. But it's good that you've found an alternative anyway.

My goal was to use Cumulus for Twitter web update; but after a afternoon of test, also reading many documents on twitter developer site, i think there are some new security check with OAuth2 autentication system on Twitter.
Infact, weathercloud.net, to autorize send tweets for me, redirect a Twitter page to confirm me for this options.

This, maybe also because in my twitter account I have set a good level of security.
