The Super Challenge - discussion thread 2018/2019

I'm being ignored too. Maybe broke it's heart. I was trying to get rid of my data from the last challenge by replying to all the tweets with undo messages.

Yes, that strikes me as a bad idea, particularly if you were posting a lot of tweets in a row. Have a little faith, rdearman will sort the past database out from the present.

It was me.

I've been holding off updating my stuff until it seemed totally fixed. Yesterday seemed like the day to do it, and it ran from me in fear.

[kulaputra]

So is it fixed now orrrr...

[Serpent]

still doesn't work for me

[Aozora]

It doesn't work for me either I wish I could keep a streak going. We need a few more people who can help out with the bot.

[kulaputra]

I've mentioned before I'd be more then willing to help, but I was told we don't have server access because the guy who does is on vacation. That was a month ago.

[Serpent]

the issue is that rdearman is in the UK while emk is in the USA. to fix the bot they need to set aside an hour or more while they can be online at the same time. fingers crossed it can be done asap

[Xmmm]

I've decided to stop using the bot and stop using the leader board. Will track my stats separately in my signature.

We've finally managed to connect and I've spent some time sorting out the Twitter Bot. You should now only see the entries for this year, and although it wasn't displaying the tweets it was collecting them. I've seen entries for yesterday and today. If you see any issues let me know and I'll investigate. It would appear that everything is working, except the bot isn't responding to people when it collects the tweet. I think this may be an issue with changes twitter have made to the API so I'll have to look into it when I have more time.

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?

EDIT: a couple examples of the tweets that went missing. They showed up on my page before. It looks like all the tweets from a few days just disappeared from my collection:
