Wouldn't let me tweet the Lucky 15 either - said I had too many letters when I quite clearly did not??

I'll have a fiddle under the bonnet later :thumbs ..... It was working before I moved it below the posts so blame Ada for asking me to move them :laugh

It may be the length of the link, the script twitter supplies just posts the web address as is, whereas most Twitter folk use a shortening service. I'll see if I can recode it somehow.

Well I've spent a lot of the afternoon trying to sort this out and it seems to be down to Twitter as this site is supplying the correct info

platform.twitter.com/widgets/tweet_button.1347008535.html#_=1350751321018&count=horizontal&id=twitter-widget-2&lang=en&original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.win2win.co.uk%2Fforum%2Fshowthread.php%3F79434-Twitter-link-on-your-posts&size=m&text=Twitter%20link%20on%20your%20posts&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.win2win.co.ukshowthread.php%3F79434-Twitter-link-on-your-posts


I can't figure out why Twitter is adding =http%3A%2F%2Fwww.win2win.co.ukshowthread.php%3F79434-Twitter-link-on-your-posts at the end as that is what is changing the correct URL into the incorrect one :mad: :doh

Phew!!! Sorted :helper

In the end I had to rewrite the javascript they supplied into an IFRAME, this allowed me to force the correct URL to Twitter :thumbs

You can use it now folks :smile:

I'm glad I don't run a website forum. :biggrin:

My site would be buggered beyond repair if I had to do any sort of maintenance. :ooo

Your forum would be fun :boing .... we could all enjoy the malware infections we get from it, the blue screens of death, and much much more :biggrin:
