 * I’m confused by carousel_count: I have it set to 1 yet I have 2 tweets showing.
 * If I set it to 2, I still have 2 tweets.
 * Testing it here: [http://dev.henleyherald.com/](http://dev.henleyherald.com/)

 * The original developer of carousel wrote it to show more than one Tweet at the
   time – so it may not cope with less than two.
 * If you only want to show one Tweet, why aren’t you using `scrollUp`?

 * I was playing around with the display settings before showing it to the client;
   yes, for one tweet scroll up would be best but I couldn’t work out why ‘1’ didn’t
   work. No problem.
 * Another issue – I have this in my shortcode:
 *     ```
       show_meta_timestamp='1'
       show_meta_via='1'
       show_meta_screen_name='0'
       ```
   
 * However:
    1. The date and time is not shown 2. How the tweet was posted is not
   shown 3. The poster’s name is still shown
 * Any thoughts?

 * I don’t particularly want to rewrite the JavaScript, so should probably put some
   code in that switches to the relevant single-tweet format if the value is 1.
 * What value do you have for `official_format`? The `show_meta` variables normally
   only work if the value is `0` (or not set) unless `offficial_format_override=
   1`

 * Sorry. That should be `official_format_override=1` !

 * I agree about the single tweet, if the client wants one only then I’ll use scrollUp.
 * I was using official_format 2, it wasn’t clear from the Display Options instructions
   about show_meta variables. I’ve changed to 0 and they are now working. Thanks
   for the clarification.
