Ah I see, shame, but I’ll live Just I find every time I go to twitter.com I have to log in and then get back the the persons screen to follow them.. guess I should just drop back to the message after viewing their profile and use the handy Yatca follow option.. that would actually make more sense.. I’ll reprogram my mind rather than the blackberry

@Steven The feature that takes you off to twitter.com when you click on some links is built in to the device – it’s not something that Yatca does at all. Although I haven’t investigated it, I’m guessing it would be difficult or impossible to intercept this.

@Shmern ‘Connections’ is a permission group containing lots of actual permissions. It would have been set to ‘Custom’ because the permissions within it had different values. That’s why I was saying you should first expand it to see the individual permissions and then check the ‘Internet’ permission in isolation. Beware that by changing the entire group to ‘Allow’ you have granted all permissions within.

I’ll mail you shortly with some other suggestions

@Danielle Yes, I’ve long wanted to add a capability to choose which users you see on Yatca. There are some I only ever want to receive on my PC. It will happen eventually…promise! Regarding the ‘Get Link’ command being hard to find, on my device (a Bold) that command is highlighted by default when you click on a link so I don’t have to find it. Is this not the case for you? But maybe you have a point regardless. Perhaps the menu that appears when a link is clicked on shouldn’t be the full menu. I’ll investigate. Thanks.

Oh.. another request for the TODO if possible
When you click certain things from a tweet it will take you to twitter.com on the BlackBerry to get more information. This can be very useful when someone replies to a tweet you’ve made who you don’t already follow. However I find the twitter.com mobile site a little under-featured and wondered how difficult it would be to allow YATCA to have the option to send you to an alternative mobile site such as dabr.co.uk which I find very nice to use on my Bold?

Understood, and yes you are quite correct.

@Adam OK, good idea. I’ll put the full text in the edit field but just prevent them from sending it until they get it down to 140 or less. In fact I might make this the behaviour when composing a new tweet or reply too – it can be frustrating if you decide to re-phrase something and have to delete before you can add. Thanks.

love the app as always. Just a few suggestions:
-is it possible to choose which tweets you want sent to your phone? (similar to how you can choose which users’ tweets you want sent to your phone if you use the sms way)
-when you click on a link on a tweet, there’s a little many menu options that you added, and its sometimes hard to find the simple “get link”

but other than that, the app works fine! great work.

1. Yatca, uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, restarted and tested again, same issue.

2.Yup on a Corporate BES with Full data plan (I’m the BES Admin also!)

3. IPPP’s as follows
Desktop IPPP (My BES)
IPPP for BIBS
IPPP for 5 Click

4. No, do not get prompted for more details, this is a Yatca Error message, just after verifying credentials msgbox

5. Firewall is enabled, but as mentioned it was working with 1.6.1 and all other apps working? But I’ll disable it shortly (have to do it from the BES!)

6. Connections was set to Custom? reset it to Allow and retested, still Bad Request error? Restart… still bad request, actually tried a wrong password to see if it would respond with incorrect password, still bad request, oh and this is with BES/MDS option both on and off

I’m missing my yatca

TB just not the same

I can’t imagine that I’m the only person who wants an expanded retweet feature set. I’m consistently frustrated by short urls being cut out of my retweets because of the character limit on the client. It would be great if you could implement a solution that allowed users to determine what text they wished to delete in order to get under the 140 character limit. URLs are typically at the end of tweets and Twitter users haven’t figured out yet that they need to make their tweets even shorter if they are to be retweeted.

Can we do something about this?
