Happened again, this morning and now this evening. Seems every time away from computer for a few hours ALL old tweets are erased. What is the point of the older button if you can't access even the previous page? Help please.

I really think this is a major problem and still i have it for months now!
Shouldnt twitter be looking at it as a first priority problem ?
I think they really should!

I think you're right in some respects - because it isn't a system-wide issue, there really isn't the same urgency to address it either here or on the blog. But I've had good experiences with Twitter so far, in that they seem responsive to problems even if they take awhile to solve them... Whether we're paying or not! :) So, I'm just surprised now to see it go on so long without any acknowledgment, even, that there's an issue.

I think they're fully aware of the problem, but they don't really care because a] it only affects a small percentage of Tweeters and b] it's a free service, so there's no obligation to fix it because they don't owe us anything.

That's just how I see it. I could be judging overly Twitter harshly. But it does seem to have been going on a long, long time without any visible attempt to rectify the problem or any word about progress on fixing it, if indeed they *are* trying fix it.

Hello? Twitter? Anyone home? The "older" button is still not working for me, and I still don't have any indication that you're even aware of the problem... Anyone? Anyone?

I think I would be prepared to *pay* a reasonable fee for Twitter if it meant that more resources could be applied to problems like this one.

Jessica replied on August 17, 2008 22:00 to the problem "No "Older" link" in Twitter:

This is really frustrating... I *still* don't have an older button, and I *still* can't get to older pages by manually changing the URL. And doing a SHIFT-F5 while I refresh doesn't change anything. I agree with PortiaDaCosta, that this isn't even being mentioned (let alone addressed) because it's not a system-wide problem.

And by "hacking the URL," I mean that at earlier times when the older button was MIA, you could change the normal home page URL from this:

http://twitter.com/home

to this:

http://twitter.com/home?page=2

And then change the 2 to a 3, and then a 4, etc., to get to older pages manually. But now, even that doesn't work.

I know Twitter is a free service, and it does annoy me when people come down so hard on you guys for something they're getting without paying a red cent... So I'm trying to be patient. It's just frustrating when this is clearly still an issue, and it's not even being mentioned on the blog or anything...

I'm able to page back and forth. Can you hit SHIFT-F5 when you hit your Twitter homepage, and try it there? It may be caching the javascript.

PortiaDaCosta replied on August 17, 2008 12:27 to the problem "No "Older" link" in Twitter:

*Still* no solution. I wonder if this problem is being treated as a low priority because it only affects some of us and not everybody?

It's so difficult to follow the fast flowing Tweet interaction between my friends when I can only see one page.

This just started for me this morning. I see here that for some of you it is more than a month old? Wow, I really hope this does not drag out, I'm already bummed!

PortiaDaCosta replied on August 13, 2008 20:25 to the problem "No "Older" link" in Twitter:

ps. what's meant by 'hacking the url', please?

PortiaDaCosta replied on August 13, 2008 20:24 to the problem "No "Older" link" in Twitter:

Sigh, I'm getting so fed up of this! Sometimes I can get older pages when I 'follow' a new person, but it's only temporary. Pretty soon I'm back to a greyed out 'older' again.

This is taking a lot of the pleasure and usability out of Twitter for me.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. It has been working great for a while, then this morning. Greyed out older link. Blurg.

Jessica replied on August 13, 2008 15:10 to the problem "No "Older" link" in Twitter:

The older button has worked fine for me for weeks now (dare I say months?), and yet this morning not only doesn't that button work, hacking the URL doesn't, either. Ack! Help! :(

No older link......fix it!!!

Loki replied on August 03, 2008 05:29 to the problem "No "Older" link" in Twitter:

Um. My older button doesn't even work on my first page. is there any news on when this is going to be fixed? It seems the last update on the issue was three months ago. =[

Please do fix the problem!! I can't afford to lose my older tweets that record my every inspiring moments! Feel a part of me gone with the wind......

Wow, you're lucky. You can't find old tweets. In my case, I terminated my account, and Twitter is holding my personal information hostage and posting it on their site. Yes, that's right!

If you terminate your account with Twitter, don't expect them to actually delete it. They will maintain your photo, your username, and URL, and continue to post it - even though you're terminated! It's worse than that. Contact support to remove it, they don't. Contact their privacy department to remove it, they don't. Come here to this site, where a reported 19 Twitter employees are here to help - they do nothing.

Twitter misrepresents facts to the point I'm calling them as I see them: LIES.

This company is deceptive and dishonest.
