Yes! Short tweets should still work OK. It’s only long ones that won’t work.

Martin

I don’t think I managed to see it before you took it down. Sorry about that.

What changes did you make? What was the CSS you put in rotatingtweets.css?

Aha! There’s a new Tweet JSON format coming which should fix this. Twitter’s announcement is here – although there doesn’t appear to be a time for this yet.

Currently Rotating Tweets is displaying everything that Twitter is sending through – e.g.

As you might imagine, it will be a fairly immediate priority to implement the new extended Tweet format as soon as it is switched on!

You’ve found a new Twitter feature!

It turns out that this issue is a consequence of the new longer Tweet that’s being introduced.

There’s a new Tweet JSON format coming which should fix the problem and, with a bit of coding, allow Rotating Tweets to show the longer Tweets.

Currently the information isn’t being sent through by Twitter: the Tweets are currently being truncated by Twitter – not by Rotating Tweets.

Twitter’s announcement is here – although they don’t appear to have announced the time when this will be implemented yet.

‘Do Not Track’ is now respected by the ‘current version’.

After some checking with other browsers, it now reads:

if(navigator.doNotTrack != 'yes' && navigator.doNotTrack != 1 && window.doNotTrack != 1 && navigator.msDoNotTrack != 1) {
   //  The Twitter code
};
