Linking To Twitter ??? - FatManFuck - 07-12-2012
Can someone remind me how you link your AW profile to Twitter ? I really need a fools guide, I have been messing around for ages and cant find how
RE: Linking To Twitter ??? - Trinity-Belle - 07-12-2012
Click on "My Details"
Under "Profile Management in the top right of the page, click the plus sign next to "Edit Profile and Contact Details"
Click the "Edit Profile" button.
On the "General" tab (which shows by default) scroll down to the bottom of the page.
The third option from the bottom is "Manage Links" - click that.
A pop-up window opens entitled "Your Links"... there are two boxes for you to type in.
In the first box, put what you want people to see on your AW profile. This would normally be something indicating that this is how the user can find your twitter profile. Mine, for example, says "Follow @Trinity_Belle on Twitter!" but it could say anything you like.
In the second box, put the web address of your twitter account (you don't need the "http://" as that is already added for you. There are a couple of different ways of doing this... either you can direct them to your page, or you can send them straight to the "follow" command, which is what I do.
So for me, my twitter handle is @Trinity_Belle so to direct people to my profile I could put: twitter.com/Trinity_Belle
But in order to prompt people to follow me, I actually use: twitter.com/intent/follow?screen_name=@Trinity_Belle
Click the "Save" button in the pop-up window.
The details you've just entered appear to move down a row and you get a pair of new boxes appear so that you can enter another link if you want to.
Click the "Close" button in the pop-up window
The pop-up will close.
Back on the main "Edit Profile" screen, click the "Save and View" button.
Scroll down to the bottom of your profile page and on the right hand side of the last section you should see the text you typed appears under "links:"
Click the text and it should take you to your twitter page... if you've done it right!
Job done

I think we might be at crossed purposes even though I really do appreciates the help... I want it so I can link my account to twitter... not put a link on AW. I mean as in when I post pics or video it will automatically update on Twitter... if that makes sense
RE: Linking To Twitter ??? - Trinity-Belle - 07-12-2012
Ahhhhhh.... I see!
Well... there is just a tick box on the upload page... you just tick that!
I think you have to be signed into Twitter, though?

When ever I try I get this message
Whoa there!
There is no request token for this page. That's the special key we need from applications asking to use your Twitter account. Please go back to the site or application that sent you here and try again; it was probably just a mistake.

I even have facebook sorted now, with twitter and facebook both linking to each other, I just need to work out how to link to AW now
RE: Linking To Twitter ??? - FatManFuck - 08-12-2012
So no one knows how to do this then
Sucks

Well, following your post I was doing some messing around and now mine is doing the same thing and I got the same error message... so I mailed AW...
Trinity-Belle Wrote:I was doing a bit of exploring and I found your help article about "You've saved my Twitter details, how do I clear them?". It says "Please visit this page" so I did... not because I wanted to do anything, but because I wanted to read about it. However, it seems that by clicking that link I have now broken the link between AW and twitter and even though i am signed in to twitter and on the "apps" tab in my twitter account settings, it still says that AW is authorised to post, if I try to use any of the page links on AW it asks me to sign in to twitter each time (even though i am already signed in) and if I try to use the tick box on the content upload pages to tweet my uploads, I get a new window pop up with an error message saying:

I've been searching around but I don't seem to be able to find any way of re-linking to Twitter?

Twitter are aware of this issue and are trying to resolve it. Does seem a bit strange - basically their interface is returning junk to us when we're talking to them behind the scenes.

Indeed!
I have a friend who is a support technician and I am sure computers are genuinely afraid of him... no, seriously! When ever I have a problem he comes over to have a look at it and you can bet your bottom dollar that as long as he is here everything works just fine!
