Sorry to have to revisit this old chestnut of Twitter!

I changed my Twitter content to use the custom format held in a twitter.txt file yesterday. However, the updates I'm getting in Twitter remain the standard Cumulus 'default' format.

I've checked that the post-processed message is less than 140 characters, deleted the Oauth tokens from Cumulus.ini and restarted and still get the default format.

Have I missed something about this somewhere? :?

“It's snowing still," said Eeyore gloomily.
"So it is."
"And freezing."
"Is it?"
"Yes," said Eeyore. "However," he said, brightening up a little, "we haven't had an earthquake lately.”

If you're still getting the default message, then it's not finding your twitter.txt file. Are you sure you've given it the correct name and put it in the Cumulus folder? Do you have file extensions hidden in Windows, perhaps, and you've actually called the file twitter.txt.txt?

D'oh!

It was indeed twitter.txt.txt - I have now corrected and all is OK.

Cheers!
