Why isn't Twitter working?

Are you trying to update on the website? Does the page continue to open then simply stop?

I assume you're having the same problem accessing twitter at home as well?

Yep, I'm on the website, trying to update. None of the images will open..all the text will, but none of the pictures. And the update button doesn't work.

I've had the loading problem from the time I created an account, but not the problem with it not uploading anything at all. That's the just the last few days.

Which web browser are you using at home and school? Do you have any browser add-ins or toolbars that might be out of date?

I've tried it with IE 7 and 6. whatever, and the latest Firefox. The only add-on I have on any of them is the Google toolbar, which I uninstalled and re-downloaded today..just in case.

If it were just at school, I'd chalk it up to the mountains of issues we seem to have there with our network. But I don't have any problems at home.

Would you know if clearing your browser's cache has any effect?

In Firefox: Tools --> Options --> Advanced Tab --> Clear Now button

In Internet Explorer: Tools --> Internet Options --> General Tab --> Delete Files button (under Temporary Internet Files)

That doesn't help. It's one of the first things I tried. I'm pretty savvy when it comes to possible software and application problems, but I'm grasping at straws here.

Would you be willing to try creating another account, to see if you still encounter the same problems?

If you don't experience problems with a second account, then at least we know for sure that the problem is specific to the account that you have now, and that Twitter support will have to step in...

I created a new account four days ago and didn't have problems then.

I created another account, that seems to be working fine. However, I'd prefer not to have to keep the 2nd account--the first one is set up for work with work contact info.

Oops..I lied. Just tried to post an update with the new account, and it tells me there's an error on the page--although this time all the images are loaded.

Would you happen to have the Safari browser and does Twitter work properly with it?

I'm asking because a few other people reported having trouble with Twitter's web pages on Firefox and IE, but that it works on Safari... and I wanted to see if you have the same experience. If you do, maybe it's the same problem.

I have tried to update from my online account, but the options are all crossed out: does this mean Twitter wants us to only use the cell phone texting to update?

No, I don't have Safari..I'm not sure why I need to keep trying different browsers. It seems the problem is with Twitter, not the browsers. I really don't have time to keep jacking with this--that's what the people in support are for, not the end user.

Frenchy, could you kindly elaborate on what you mean by 'options are crossed out' ?

Do you mean you can't login? Or that there's no place for you to post an update after logging in?

Do you experience the same problem when you go to http://m.twitter.com (the mobile web version)?

So..no one's going to find a solution for this? I've just reposted it because it's STILL happening.

I gotta say...I am SO TOTALLY NOT IMPRESSED with this website.
I've been trying to just start an account. I tried to sign up, the page isn't working. So I refresh and try again, and it tells me that the username is now taken. Yeah...BY ME!!!!

If this is how poorly Twitter works, maybe I'm not interested

This is STILL a problem...something needs to be done. I use Twitter as a resource while I'm at work and would LOVE to share it with coworkers, but it doesn't WORK.

What's worse is that in 5 months, no one at Twitter seems to think they should do something about it.
