[Plugin: ThinkTwit] Avatars won't show (and other strangeness)

    I installed ThinkTwit and everything worked perfectly, but I needed to change the username_suffix in the shortcode. I did that, and ever since, it won’t show avatars, and it seems to be ignoring some other settings as well. It was initially showing usernames, but at one point I switched to names. I preferred the usernames, so I changed the shortcode back to show_author=username. Still, the widget is showing names. I’m using it within a slide-out tab plugin, and I thought that might be the problem so I just used the normal ThinkTwit widget with the same settings as my shortcode. It behaved identically (showing names instead of usernames, no avatars despite being set to show them), so I took it out of my widget list… and it’s still showing up. I’m baffled, and this seems to point at something deeper than ThinkTwit, but any help would be appreciated.

    …and now avatars are showing up again. Apparently posting my problem fixed part of it. I suspect gremlins.

    For what it’s worth, here’s the shortcode I’m using (and you can check out the result at http://planyourmeetings.com)
    [thinktwit unique_id=0 usernames=”PYMLive planyrmeetings” show_author=username show_avatar=1 username_suffix=”: ” limit=20 max-days=7 update_frequency=0 show_published=1 links_new_window=1 no_cache=1 use_curl=0 debug=0 time_no_recent=”No recent tweets.”]

    Hi Aaron,

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, had a major network upgrade in work over the weekend and still fighting fires.

    I believe the issue might be down to the number of requests that are being made to Twitter. I’ve got planned caching for the tweeter and improved error handling which should resolve this issue but I’m afraid I can’t give you a deadline on resolution as I have so much on at the moment – but I believe you are using a different plugin for the time being anyway.

    I’ll let you know when the fix is out in case you wish to use ThinkTwit again.

    I actually just noticed that you used “max–days” instead of “max_days” – this seemed to resolve the issue in my test so you may want to try fixing that, otherwise please refer back to my previous message.

    If you have any other issues in the meantime let me know and I’ll do what I can.

    FYI I have coded a fix over the weekend which will fix issues related to avatars not showing due to too many API requests. This will be rolled out shortly.
