I would agree to pay Twitter an admin fee to get a name I want if it not being used. Any chance Twitter might be listening?! I doubt it!

Over 140 characters? Which networks?

What happens if I post text over 140 characters? I could try it and see, but that would mean a test message to every network.

Also how do I check which networks are being updated and enable or disable them?

I seem to auto-unfollow my sister as well at times, but neither has happened I think since I posted this question, I wonder if that means another 4-5 days are coming up.

Help, Twitter is auto-unfollowing my friend.

I've found recently that I keep unfollowing one of my best friends, I know am not doing the unfollowing, it is something Twitter is doing. We only find out about it when she tries to DM me. It happens every four or so day, I think once Twitter caused her to unfollow me too. We then have to refollow, I am wondering if the same is happening with others. Of course I can't prove it's not either of us doing the unfollowing.

I am @mayman, she is @kellyvbrown. Thanks for your help.

I think you might have been right. I just tried again and logged into Twitter via Mixero straight away. Now to get your iPhone back and try that out and hope that works fine as well.

My username is "mayman". On my computer, the error is: "Could not login. Invalid username/password combination".

Mixero doesn't recognise my login details.

Mixero doesn't recognise my login details. I know exactly what they are, I even copy and pasted them from my password database. I can login to other Twitter clients, so I know they are correct, but Mixero says no.

Add post-transaction balance and drag and drop ordering.

I have just imported 72 transactions from an export from Money, I'm glad it is not over a long period of time. All categories were lost and I've no way to check the balance after each transaction to confirm it is correct. I can correct the categories easily enough by selecting multiple transactions and editing.

I also just added a higher value transaction that is shown after the first on my statement but on the same day, then just like Money, Cha-Ching decides to move the transaction to before the first one therefore making it different from my statement and reconciliation a little harder if this happens a lot, so I also request the option to drag and drop the order of transactions.

I have told Cha-Ching that the transactions for which account they are for, yet they still don't show up in that account. The data exported from Money is correctly reconciled, but the balances in Cha-Ching are far from correct and I can't check at what stage in the past month it is wrong in Cha-Ching due to no post-transaction balance.

The best solution right now is perhaps to start the entire thing all over again entering one transaction at a time, or keep using Money.

Refine editing, see photo.

Is order to check or edit postings settings for each of the dozens of services added, I do think it would be far better if users could just tick one or more checkboxes alongside each of the services I have added instead of needing to edit, or just to check, one service at a time.

Also I believe photos, and possibly audio, should be added.

I made a mock-up to show how I think it should look: http://imgur.com/nwaC9.png

The question mark beside each method name should be a link to a definition of what that method is to help users understand the difference. Personally I use Delicious occasionally but I am unclear on what would get posted to Delicious.

I nearly posted this as a reply to question about clarification of posting methods, but I believe it is separate issue.

Clarify methods of posting

I would like for clarification on the different methods of posting, particularly the difference - according to Ping.fm - between a status update and micro-blog post. I looked at the help pages linked below and the link for information on posting methods is a 404 - page not found.
