DetoxExperiment's dashboard

Mostly because in some cases while mobile I could post to one or multiple emails. But mostly because there are so many people who won't take the time to figure out the triggers.

For instance, if my default is set to micro-blog, I can't trigger both my Status only and location because I can only use one trigger. But I could send a post to the status email with a location trigger included. Also I could send a post to micro email without wondering how much just got cut off on my status update sites.

But as well, If I sent a post to the blogging email it wouldn't cut off the much longer post, which is harder to gauge how many chars have been used between the shortened picture addy, title, and body of the post.

Most phones limit the subject line to 70 chars, so while the syntax will split the post- it also keeps me at 72 chars max for title and body of the post. I'll deal with limitations so long as it's in the works though;)

ok, try this, clear cache/cookies/temps and then, if you have either of those two sites set to 'Remember Me' get rid of it, see if the problem goes away.
when I started using my wireless I'd keep having to reset things like that but, if it remembers you from one place, and then you connect from a place down the block, it can get mixed up. sure you have to enter your pass each time...but hey.

What type of connection you using? Wireless?

Click Settings on the Dashboard, then Click Default Settings. Here you can select your Default Method. This will select how you intend to post most frequently. If you use sms, this is how your post will be directed to each of your services.

Status Updates are meant to be short and quick. 60-80 char limit on some services. A txt from your phone with your status in the subject line.

Micro-Blogs are the mid range. Nothing over 140 but you can go into a bit more detail. You can send pics to most micro-blogs, with your message as the subject line.

Blogs are the beast. You can pretty well rant to your hearts content. Shouldn't run into limitations except on some Titles. Sending a photo with your cell is best because it raises you text limitations in the phone to a larger more reasonable size. Subject will be the title and the rest your body of post.

When you add a service, check the box for what you want it to receive.
Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and similar, can use both status updates and micro blogs. You can select for it to recieve both, but your Default Method will determine which type they get.

If a service only gets status updates, and your default method is set to micro-blog, then nothing will be posted to that service. If a service can receive both status updates, and micro-blogs, but your default method is set to status updates- Your post may be cutoff if you go over the status char limit.

Now remember these are just the defaults. The triggers are fairly simple to use but kinda hard to remember. Here's a trick I use, edit your signature to include the triggers you are most likely to use: @s @b @m Then each time you open a new text you can delete the ones not used and start texting away.

Another fun quirk is how backed up your cell providers sms to email server is. At peak times, free nights and weekends hours, I can wait 5-15 mins for my post to come through, but if I just use straight txt it's almost instant, because it just bounces from my cell to ping direct.

That's actually not a bad idea to post really.

You would have to log in and manually change it from Status Updates to Micro Blogging, or Blogging. (when it's working)

It might seem like there are a lot of cellular service providers, but the majority of them do use each others networks and formatting. Like Sprint now has virgin mobile boost and several others like radioshacks own line now....

At&T Verizon and cricket have all started new formatting for their services to expand to the new audio/video messaging, so each one will have a specific format to follow, this should be easy enough to find and use to make this idea work.

Personally, I'd wait for facebook to hash out all their issues before trying to put this idea together. Though I do like the idea.

Good deal!
Might just clear temp files/cache and skip the restart next time. then you'll know if it's communication based or browser based.

It may be something to look at, but if you are using twhirl only and not using ping from a mobile, just remove twitter from your ping account and see if it posts through twhirl to your other pages. Thwirl will still update your twitter, and fire the rest on to ping to feed out.

If you think you have already put in a proper key, try this: Regenerate a new key and then enter it into your twhirl settings. I accidentally generated a new key during my clicks through to add certain apps to ping and it stopped my thwil dead in its tracks just as you described.

Also, in the rush to post to as many services as possible, you could have chained them in a wierd way that you have a loop between ping and twitter. ping updating twitter and twitter updating ping through thwirl. I got a few odd double posts doing this myself and had to start from the ground up.

Flock just had a recent update- maybe reinstalling it would clear up the problem?

Are you posting through flock extension, or using the browser to post through ping ?

I just put in a problem where when I set to Blogging it doesn't post to my ping account at all. MicroBlogging works fine but I can't enter a full blog that way.
trying to figure out if its a format issue with my provider or just a glitch in the ping servers still.

So you're looking for some notice that your post has been cutoff if/when it happens?

Do you have your browser setup to remember your passwords? might try clearing that password list as well. it's a pain but that fixed a similar problem I was having.

Does your password use the shift key? Saw another user who used special chars in their password and whatnot. Kind of like some linux setups, you could use a password like: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a. and it just keeps tracks of keystrokes.

I had the same issue, but it was that my twitter username wasn't correct. Case sensitive on the username, i had detoxexperiment and had to capitalize- DetoxExperiment - But the strange characters, if your password isn't 10 chars in length I would double check it, it could be taking in the shift key or other keypresses in your password

Haven't seen a feature like this on Ping, but if you have a blogger account you can have it send those updates to a list of emails you enter.
