Inappropriate?I'm curious -- does Twitter give you an error message when it fails to delete?
Also, could you link to the specific tweet that you're trying to delete? -
Inappropriate?I tried it again using Safari on Mac and it worked. It would not work with Firefox on Mac or PC.
There was no error message. It would give the dialog box to confirm deletion and then the page would refresh but the tweet would not delete.
I’m surprised Twitter and Firefox aren't playing together nicely.

Inappropriate?I'm happy to hear that you found a way to delete it. 8-)
I'm just as surprised as you to see that it won't work for you on Firefox. I use Firefox 2.0.0.12 myself on WinXP and the delete works fine for me. -
Inappropriate?I was unable to delete a tweet from Safari 3.1 on Mac OSX 10.5.2, when I tried it with Firefox 2.0.0.13, it worked. -
Inappropriate?Just chiming in to say that I'm also experiencing this problem now.
Tried to delete my most recent tweet but I find myself on the "Something is technically wrong" page.
Also tried to delete a tweet from four days ago and it too could not be deleted.
Apparently, @pacificIT also experienced this problem some hours earlier.
I just checked and I'm still able to delete direct messages (both sent to me and sent by me).
WinXP SP2, Firefox 2.0.0.14 -
Inappropriate?I don't know what the difference is, but I was able to delete one new tweet just now.
So I tried deleting the one that had failed to be deleted earlier. I still got the "something is technically wrong" page, but when I returned to my profile page, the tweet had been deleted.
I’m perplexed

Inappropriate?I'm on twitter.com via web using Camino 1.5.5 on a mac running os10.4.11
I can delete a tweet, but doing so takes me to whichever profile other than mine that I was looking at last.
very odd, but not causing me problems. maybe this info helps with the troubleshooting.
I’m enjoying life

Yes, I also encounter the behavior you describe when I delete or send direct messages. Logged it in a different thread: http://gsfn.us/t/hqd -
Inappropriate?Just tried deleting again today and it seems to work perfectly now on Firefox 2.0.0.14 using WinXP.
Was able to delete tweets from two different accounts without problems.

Inappropriate?I couldn't delete a Tweet in Firefox 3 beta 5, but was able to delete it in Opera 9.27, both on Ubuntu 8.04. Not sure if it's a caching thing or a problem with Firefox. Anyway, kinda confusing and frustrating, hope y'all figure it out.

Inappropriate?I am having this problem right now...I can't delete a tweet with Firefox 3 Beta 5 nor IE7. Did this ever get solved?
I’m discouraged
