This script will no longer be updated!

Hello, I will no longer be providing updates to this script as I do not think it is necessary with all the new twitter's features.

Troubleshooting

  1. Check for updates... Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands > Check @troynt's Twitter Script for updates
  2. Disable other Twitter addons such as Power Twitter and see if the issue goes away
  3. Check the Manage User Scripts to see if there is only 1 version of my script installed... I changed the name this may have created duplicates by changing the name. I thought the namespace would take care of this, but apparently it doesn't?
  4. Help I lost all my groups?! ... Please watch http://tr0y.com/tmp/group_data.mp4 it will show you how to export/backup group data
  5. Try clearing the cache ... Tools > Greasemonkey > User Script Commands > Clear Twitter Cache ( note you will not lose your group settings )
