Twitter is not working, installation of 1.9.0 did not fix it

Post by sande215 »

Since sept. 14, 2010 my Cumulus software is not tweeting anymore. It probably has something to do with Twitters changed API approach. I just downloaded and installed Cumulus 1.9.0 (as stated in the header of this forum), but it does not seem to fix the problem. When viewing my Twitter account/settings, I don't see a connection from Cumulus. Is there anything I should do to force it, to work again?

kind regards,

How long did you wait before checking Tiwtter?

As far as I know, Cumulus does not immediately update Twitter on startup. It waits the pre-defined number of minutes (the internval setting) before it's first update.

It is running for over an hour now, twitter-interval was 60 minutes. I just did reset the interval to 2 mins and will wait a while, to see what happens.
