Recently active topics in Pownce about Pownce on the Desktop

ok here's the deal:
i am on a mac and have the same problem in both safari & firefox.
if i am not logged in to Pownce i can go to pownce and surf around no problems, i can even go to my own pownce profile page and look around no problems.
i can create a dummy account and then sign in and be fine. no problems.
but as soon as i sign in to my REAL ACCOUNT then i cannot get into my pownce. once i sign in i can view other people's pownce accounts but i CANNOT get into mine.

i get this error in safari:
"Safari can’t open the page “http://pownce.com/djp/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302.)” (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork:302) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message."

HELP ME! this is severely annoying.
my awesome pownce account is http://pownce.com/djp

on the pownce program I can't post things. It says that it can't refresh and wont let me reply to anything at all. When i go to post it says that i have to select a recipient but there are no recipients on my scroll bar.

While the new Pownce desktop app works pretty well all in all, I've recently noticed the following problem:

I try to send a message, pressing the "Post it!" button, which then greys out but the screen does not change. I then have to press cancel and it at least appears that the message sent has been lost.

From then on, depending on how Pownce feels, one of the following things can happen:

1. The message is gone for good.
2. I post the message again and suddenly the first one is there as well making it look as if I posted the same message twice.
3. Posting any message via the desktop client always fails but the website works. Sometimes the lost ones sent via the desktop app reappear, sometimes they don't.
4. Posting a message does not work at all, instead when trying via the website i get the following error message at the top (like right now):
"(1062, "Duplicate entry '2824098' for key 1")"
=> no matter whether I post the same content again or something else!

Any idea what's going on?

It seems I can't access my own profile, but every now and then I can make it to others...
when I try and login to pownce using the main page, it tells me cookies are not enabled when I know they are (other sites have no issue)

Edit: actually I can view alot of the site, with the exception of my own profile page, you guys should really throw up a notification on your blog when there are problems, I seem to remember there being a notification page when there were problems or pownce had been taken down on purpose, these problems are becoming slightly irritating week after week...

Whats up?

All non-latin1 characters translate to '?'s making service unusable for whole countries.

No luck with either web or air client..

Desktop version does not let me login on linux.

Air is available for linux on the adobe labs site. This is the first air app I've tried on linux which hasn't worked. It installed fine and I was able to run it and log in once but now I get an additional login dialog which puts me in a loop and I can't log in.. I did not install to /opt but to a new directory in my /home directory.

Linux version is Ubuntu 8.04.

I have adobe air 1.0 installed. i tried downloading pownce desktop 2.0 and my mac automatically unzips it into a folder instead of using air to install it. is there a workaround or am I just SOL. I also tried installing air 3 beta. Same results.

I have been trying for the past few days to get Pownce to update itself, but it hasn't been working.

On Saturday, even, I heard nothing all day, until around 5PM (EST), when I received many messages at once from the entire day. Since then, however, my Pownce page hasn't been updating (even on different machines, even when I clear the cache). I've heard reports that others have posted messages, but that they don't show up for their friends until that friend visits their page.

The desktop client, as well, doesn't seem to update or show new messages. Again, this is on multiple machines.

Other friends of mine are reporting the same issue. Is anyone else having this problem, or am I just crazy?

I downloaded the new version of Adobe AIR and now I can't publish notes with Pownce desktop because there are no recipients in the drop down box any more.

I've noticed that when you post certain characters using the desktop application, they don't translate well through to your pownce page. Examples as follows:

In this note I posted the url http://www.last.fm/music/Mike+TV (notice the plus in the url between Mike and TV), whereas on my pownce page, it's showing as http://www.last.fm/music/Mike%252BTV, which is an invalid link.

In this note I posted the text "or available for purchase seperately for £4" via the desktop application. When I look at the note through my browser / rss feed, the text reads as "or available for purchase seperately for ?4" and the pound sign hasn't been recognised.
