Thanks.

Oops. just replied elsewhere before noticing a more consolidated thread.

I am receiving e-mail notifications of followers, but only about 2-3 notifications for every 5 or so new followers by the main page count - thus discounting user error or spam filtering.

The random way followers show up on the web page makes it nigh impossible to figure out what's going on. a chronological listing, preferably w/o icons so more followers will fit on a page would help ~immensely~ (after all, for new followers I'm going to be checking their profile & see the icon there, and not showing icons should lower your server load) In fact, my front page says I have 87 followers, but only 86 show up on the follower pages (assuming each page really is 20 followers, or there isn't some time lag between being dropped & follower page updates)

I'm hoping no-one has figured out how to follow clandestinely or without receiving notification - and yes, I understand the ramifications of a "public" timeline. this isn't about paranoia.

A comment on the problem "Missing Twitters/updates" in Twitter:

mdy: Thanks for the tip. The one I spotted today was to someone I wasn't following so I've changed the setting, thanks :) However, I'm pretty sure that others have been absent recently without @user in at all, and from people I'm mutually following. I'll try and log them myself when I notice. Cheers. – Jon Tan, on May 21, 2008 12:18

A comment on the problem "Missing Twitters/updates" in Twitter:

Jon, are those missing @user messages by any chance addressed to people that you're not following yourself? If yes, that's the default setting for Twitter's @replies, i.e., "show me @replies addressed to the people I'm following". You can change the setting in http://twitter.com/account/notifications – mdy, on May 21, 2008 12:11

I'm also having this problem. Last noticed today, and most days to date. Cursory analysis seems to show that tweets from people I'm following starting with "@user" are not being shown in my /home.

[Ed] I should add, this is problematic to log comprehensively; if the tweets don't show I only notice when friends follow-on from a previous tweet, and I go to their page to investigate and compare.

To log this bug, it might be useful to have a tool that checks tweets from a given account are appearing in followers' streams, perhaps by timestamp.

I am now getting old Twitter updates to my cell phone. That must mean something. What... I don't know. Perhaps my phone is living in the past?

I always get email alerts *unless* the new follower is a "Twitter Slut" - someone who's following tens of thousands of people. There's obviously a whole in the Twitter code that allows these people, generally spammers, to add you to the list of people they follow and bypass the email alert.

I haven't gotten any updates via IM in a week or two. Very annoying. Username is heemstra.

im having a similar problem. ive never missed an update on my mobile from msgs on my twitter site until late last week when i stopped getting all the msgs delivered to my mobile. now i seem to be getting only approx 1 in 4 delivered to my device. im only in a circle of 9 people, and none of which have a heavy load of followers. it seems my whole circle has the same problem also. username is himoore.

I get email notice of DMs but not follows. It seems to be wide-spread and persistant. Any update from support?

Not sure if this is related, I have a problem in IE& (Firefox is ok) which caches the flash plugin i copied from the twitter site so you only see the twitters at the time of the first load - if you then clear out the cache and open a new window etc you get the latest comments. Is there a way to prevent IE7 from caching so i get live twitter updates?
