On second thought, I'm thinking that turning off the system's screenshot hotkeys ought to fix this. Never mind, you all can consider this fixed/closed.

I just tried moving my preferences aside, and launching Skitch again. No change: the system still takes a screenshot along with Skitch. I've logged out and back in several times before now, and that had no effect, but I haven't yet tried logging out and back in with the new prefs.

cmd-shift-3 takes two screenshots: Skitch takes one, OS X takes another.

This didn't used to happen, but it has been lately.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Hit cmd-shift-3.
2. Watch as Skitch offers to take a window or dragged area screenshot.
3. Look at your desktop: Picture 1.png has appeared! The system oh-so-kindly offered to take a full-screen picture for you as well!

I'm going to try a couple of things to pin down reproducibility.

Mwalters, we had to block incoming emails from Verizon because they were getting caught in a loop and creating a lot of duplicate posts. This has happened twice before. Once Verizon fixes the problem we will unblock the emails. You can follow/friend us on Brightkite and Twitter (username Brightkite) for status updates on things like this.

Anyone been able to do this successfully recently? I've tried sending several messages to the private email address and they don't seem to be coming in. In the text area I should be able to put like "! test" and that show up as a note for where I'm currently at correct?

Email is working great again with my phone. Replies from Bkite are coming back via the email address, so even if you haven't registered your phone via SMS (I somehow pulled that off weeks ago), it'll still work just fine for you.

Beala, Verizon still does not support SMS for Brightkite. Glad to hear that email is working for you though! :) – Lesley, on June 19, 2008 16:22

I'd just like to add that I'm using a Blackberry 8130 on Verizon, and it's working great (the email, that is. Haven't tried sms).

For the record, I have an XV6800 (windows mobile) and I have my own independent email account setup on the phone and it works seemlessly. If you have a WM phone, you should consider doing the same and updating brightkite always through email.

Chris J is correct. We've unblocked it so you can email texts to Brightkite, but Verizon still does not support Brightkite through SMS. – Lesley, on June 18, 2008 20:40

They still don't have the SMS number. Where you would put the number, you instead put your private ****@bkite.com email address. Then you can send the update. – Chris J, on June 18, 2008 20:34

We have unblocked the vtext.com emails, please report any problems to us immediately. :)

Yes, calling their support would be the way to go. Maybe if they get enough requests they'll finally do what they said would be done in February. – Lesley, on June 12, 2008 04:54

No updates from Verizon still? What's the best way to harass them to get on the ball on this: via tech support? I'll stay on the phone as long as it takes to get someone to take note and send it up the food chain.

Not all plans include picture messaging. I know my plan is only text. – firrantello, on June 04, 2008 21:18
