Just noticed the ""Related topics in Twitter" spill on this page... links to this:

We need a "reply to this Tweet" button
http://getsatisfaction.com/twitter/to...

According to "crystal, Official Rep, replied 9 months ago":

The "in reply to" link will always link back to the most recent update from a person, and not the exact update replied to. In other words, the link isn't incorrectly linking, but intentionally relaying you to the update posted last. However, having a link to reply to a specific update to keep a conversational continuity is great idea!

So, did Twitter revert to an older "feature" or something? Or am I remembering incorrectly that if you hit the reply button on a tweet that it would link to that specific tweet?

Still a problem. Just tried to reply to @biz tweet about @replies now on m.twitter.com:

Hit reply on this tweet:
http://twitter.com/biz/statuses/95350...

Yields my reply:
http://twitter.com/bigboxcar/statuses...

That now links to @biz's most *current* tweet instead of the one I replied to:
http://twitter.com/biz/statuses/95352...

It was not always like this, no?

My tweets are a no-show, too. I tested with this tweet:

http://twitter.com/bigboxcar/statuses...

And it does not show up:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%2...

What's going on? Noticing it is not showing up on http://twemes.com either, so must be a data-out issue?

@bigboxcar, apologies for the delay, we're having some hiccoughs with the ticketing system. I replied to your support request (314674) asking for a bit more info, and we can take it from there. thanks :) – crystal, on October 08, 2008 05:45

Still no reply to this.

Noticing some news stories of other companies with this same issue and getting it resolved, but they seem to have to get lawyers involved? Is that what I need to do to get Twitter to look at my support ticket?

This is STILL a problem, yo!

It looks like I have a similar situation. My tweets do not show up in search.twitter.com:

http://search.twitter.com/search?q=bi...

Last tweet was 8 days ago. I do see @bigboxcar replies showing up, so looks like it's related to my profile.

Please can fix mine like you fixed Kathy's?

Now *that's* remarkably self-consistent of Twitter! ;-) – Eridanus, on September 20, 2008 21:16

Yeah, the tweet pointing to that information? Not in my timeline... lol

The Sat. Sep. 20th. entry at http://status.twitter.com states:

Missing Tweets?
We are currently in the process of re-balancing our timeline cache. You may see missing Tweets in your timeline. This should be entirely cleared up by tomorrow afternoon.

this has reared it's ugly head again. I'm getting text message tweets from my friends, but they are not showing up in my timeline.

My faith in Twitter is lost.

bigboxcar reported a problem in Twitter on September 12, 2008 20:10:

"in reply to..." links to wrong tweet

When I reply to a tweet, my reply links back to the wrong tweet.

This is the Tweet I hit Reply to:
http://twitter.com/schmelzenfreude/st...

My Reply is here :
http://twitter.com/bigboxcar/statuses...

But the "in reply to..." link is to this tweet (Wrong):
http://twitter.com/schmelzenfreude/st...

This has happened a lot for me, but I have noticed it with other replies by people.

When the "in reply to.." link does work as expected, it appears that the tweet I hit reply to is the still the latest tweet in a person's timeline.

Thanks for looking into this. The incorrect links are a buzzkill for threading.
