I am unable to follow anyone on Twitter using Twhirl. Every time I do I get the "limit exceeded" message, even though Twhirl is still downloading new tweets.

I cannot even seem to connect to my Twitter account through Twirl. I click connect and nothing happens. I can logon via the Web, though.

I have found two bugs in twhirl for me, that started when i upgraded to 0.8.4, started using identi.ca, and did a wipe and reinstall then migrate of my mac.

bug 1. Whenever i start twhirl, it only remembers my twitter account name, and always forgets the password. It forgets my Seesmic, Friendfeed, and identi.ca accounts, even though i enter them in, and tell them to remember the accounts and passwords, and to open those accounts when opening twhirl. This is annoying because i have to reenter all my accounts each time i run twhirl.

bug 2. I like to crosspost my tweets to pownce and jaiku, and that is one of the reasons i use twhirl. Whenever i go into the settings for twitter, and try to resetup crossposting (which got disabled as part of this bug/update) it won't let me save the settings, only click cancel.

Since the latest update, whenever I want to delete an accidental tweet, Twhirl never deletes it and my updates pause.

Twhirl worked OK in v.0.8.2, but I upgraded to v0.8.3 and my Twitter password is no longer recognised. I have reset the password in Twitter, and tried uninstalling both Air and Twhirl, but with no luck. I just get prompted to re-enter the password over and again

...well that's about it. starting yesterday, this has been happening. probably because of the new interface? idk, anybody else experience this?

When clicking the delete icon on a direct twitter message in Twhirl, I get the "Rate limit exceded, pasing for 5 minutes" message. Initially I thought this was due to having twhirl and socialthing going at the same time, but after shutting down socialthing, and waiting a couple of hours, and dropping the twhirl api request rate to 10/hour, I get the same thing.
Also, when hovering over the API health icon, it tells me that I've used (for example) 15 of 100 requests.

I think this may be down to the CSRF protection twitter added recently.

I am unable to upgrade from 0.81 to 0.82 or 0.83, nor can I uninstall twhirl.

I get the following message when I try to upgrade:

"Sorry. an error has occurred.

An error occurred while updating the application. Try updating it again. If the problem persists, contact the application author."

And if I try to uninstall Twhirl (by selecting more options and then clicking uninstall), I get the same message, except everywhere the above message says "updating" it says "uninstalling" instead.
