This is STILL a problem...something needs to be done. I use Twitter as a resource while I'm at work and would LOVE to share it with coworkers, but it doesn't WORK.

What's worse is that in 5 months, no one at Twitter seems to think they should do something about it.

When I uploaded my picture I never received an error. My picture was either not there (as was my experience in the beginning) or it was there.
I know Twitter has been experiencing problems today. Not sure if things got cleared up or not. I haven't been on since early this afternoon.

Chris Thomson replied on August 26, 2008 23:59 to the problem "I cant put a image for my background!!!" in Twitter:

Just out of curiosity, are you getting an error with the background being uploaded, or does it say the upload went fine but the background just didn't appear right away?

...D replied on August 26, 2008 22:52 to the problem "I cant put a image for my background!!!" in Twitter:

Hello Bwarwick. I was finally able to get my picture on for my background by chooseing BOTH the background color and a check mark in the box for my picture. I know...it is a strange thing. Another lady sent me this same advice and sure enough, when I chose a background color AND had a check mark in the box indicating I wanted my picture for the background then my picture finally showed up.
Make sure that your picute does not exceed 800kb.
Good luck! I hope this helps.

This is the picture that I would put on and it would not work!!!!

I am having the same problem, I put an image that is 8jpg, and I am really confused and I would log out and then back in and it still would not work, something is up and I am confused!!!!!!

Custom prefixes would be great, but I think restricting status updates to a given hashtag (i.e. #FB) would be even better - I would tweet more if it didn't show up in my FB status, but I want to be able to tweet status updates, too. Twittersync is broken, so it would be great if Twitter could enhance their own FB app a bit (it could use some work, feature-wise)

I gotta say...I am SO TOTALLY NOT IMPRESSED with this website.
I've been trying to just start an account. I tried to sign up, the page isn't working. So I refresh and try again, and it tells me that the username is now taken. Yeah...BY ME!!!!

If this is how poorly Twitter works, maybe I'm not interested

...D replied on June 17, 2008 17:12 to the problem "I cant put a image for my background!!!" in Twitter:

I have tried several different graphics all under 800kb. I have checked the appropriet boxes. I have saved after each one. I have logged out and back in. I have even shut my computer down and brought it back up several times and I have been trying to get a graphic in my background for two days now. Is there an answer to this problem somewhere? Can someone help me?

A comment on the problem "I cant put a image for my background!!!" in Twitter:

Yes, mine are also far below the max size and I'm definitely clicking save...nothing, just plain white background:-( I even tried the logging out and back in as describe above. Maybe it will be fixed when the upgrade is complete in July. – Adrienne Smith, on June 08, 2008 16:49

I'm having the same issue. I've used different images (one is 4kb & one is 112 kb), tried logging in and out, setting it from a plain background back to an image... nada.

mdy replied on May 18, 2008 07:57 to the idea "when did i join?" in Twitter:

There are a couple of other ways to get this info:

1. You can also use the "show" API method to check the exact date and time.

If your browser can handle XML pages, just go to:

http://twitter.com/users/show/YOURUSE...

but change YOURUSERNAME to your actual username.

The Twitter API will prompt you to provide your Twitter user id and password.

The XML page that appears after you've logged in includes a "created_at" field that contains the exact date and time you created your Twitter account.

The value that's returned will look like this:

< created_at > Fri Sep 14 16:21:21 +0000 2007 < /created_at >

2. You can use a third-party service called @followinger.

To use this service, follow it using your Twitter account. It will automatically follow you back. You can then send it a direct message with the format:

d followinger YOURUSERNAME

It will reply via direct message with information about your account.

For example, when I sent 'd followinger scobleizer', I got the following reply back:

scobleizer: created 2006-11-20. follows 21158 has 24094 followers (0.88/1) 11978 tweets and 9 favs

Yes! A step-by-step that shows you what to do -- and not to do -- to customize this would be awesome!
