Hi rdearman, first of all thank you!

A couple of my tweets which had been accepted before aren't showing up on the page now. I can see two readings and several films which are missing (I compared to my tweets to be sure). Should I tweet them again, or was the collection missing a few things that can be corrected?

If they were tweeted today, then I would say wait a couple of hours. However, if they were before today then go ahead and retweet them because it doesn't look backward.

for those who tweet a lot - you can use the advanced search to find the tweets by a specific user (for example yourself), to a specific user, and choose the date range too. very convenient :D https://twitter.com/search-advanced

edit: i also have some missing tweets from june 3rd.

For what it's worth, after this change my totals decreased. What is currently reflected is not correct and doesn't match what was there two or three days ago. Mentioning this in case others are affected ...

Ditto. Yesterday I had the accurate 5 x films and 3 x books. Today I tweeted a few pages read and now it shows 3 x films and 3 x books. :?:

Unfortunately you probably have to submit any missing items again.

Glad it’s finally up! In a very nerdy way I’m looking forward to compiling all my notes and uploading the data.

Thank you folks so much.
I seem to have lost a hundred pages or so, but I may just continue on from here if everything is working. If I'm headed toward 10000 pages, I don't think a hundred is that big a deal...

I am afraid I never managed to program the thing to go back and collect historic tweets. So afraid you'll have to redo them.

BTW if anyone is interested in programming a utility to sweep up missed tweets into the bot all the source code is on Github and I am happy to review and merge fixes, updates and patches.
