Thanks, I'm familiar with the setting. Somehow the setting does not have any effect with the account I'm testing with: not when logged in to twitter.com, and not when using statuses/friends_timeline. Chad's posting made me do some tests with two other accounts: there the setting works as it should.
The only difference between the accounts I can think of is that the misbehaving account is the one I used when applying for a higher rate limit (20,000). Could there be a relation? thanks, Jack On May 11, 8:38 pm, Doug Williams <d...@twitter.com> wrote: > There is a setting to change this behavior: > > http://help.twitter.com/forums/23786/entries/14595 > > Thanks, > Doug > -- > > Doug Williams > Twitter Platform Supporthttp://twitter.com/dougw > > > > On Mon, May 11, 2009 at 10:44 AM, Chad Etzel <jazzyc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I'm confused now.
