tried the new script:
[10/06/13|13:25:15] Password/Username Error --> HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
[10/06/13|13:25:15] You must supply your twitter information to me in private. Syntax: .AddAuth username:password
[10/06/13|13:25:15] You may also use the more secure method if you are using mIRC by typing in the following in MY Query window.
[10/06/13|13:25:15] //say .AddAuth $encode(username:password,m)

.>
still won't work @FordLawnmower

I've tested this with no issues @PackardBell . Did you follow the instructions ?

yeah, if finally works. :) Thx a lot!

How did you get it to work? I'm getting the same error. My password has a ! in it.

@RicJames . I have tested the script with ! in passwords, with no issues.
Are there any other special characters in your password or username ?
Did you follow the instructions ?

I followed the instructions 100%, the only other thing is some numbers.

A friend of mine tried it today. He kinda failed with the $encode shizzle. But it works.
1 remark: try change your name with twittername and check out ;)

@PackardBell . I'm not sure what you are talking about. You have to use your real twitter screenname to authenticate.
It's not possible to change your screenname.

@RicJames . There are no issues with numbers in passwords. I need something more to go on to help you.
Are you using a old version of mIRC ?
Do you still have an old version of this script loaded ?
Have you tried loading the script to a clean mIRC, with no other scripts ?

@FordLawnmower I know you can't change it. But some people mix them up while trying to auth.

I understand you now :)

I tried it with another clean mirc and it worked. I guess that means one of my snippet's is conflicting with the process. Any idea what kind of script would cause the conflict?

I would guess that it's another version of this same script @RicJames .
Try searching from the scripts editor for twitter_statuses_update . Check the box that says "Search all files in this section"
If you have more than one file using sockets with this name, it will cause a problem.
mIRC will use the one that was loaded first.
