HelloTxt Connection to Plurk Broken

Connection between HelloTxt and Plurk seems to be broken. I'm not sure whether it is your side or theirs. I do know that they disabled IM posting recently. If your system relies upon XMPP, that could be the problem.

Posting via HelloTxt works for other services (e.g., Jaiku), but not Plurk. Since this was the primary way I posted to Plurk, it is disrupting the usefulness of both Plurk and HelloTxt. This may be quite different than the topic from a year ago, so I'm starting a new one.

Problem has existed for at least four days. Hopefully, someone from the company will pop in here and see this problem.

Tested with Ping.Fm. It works with their service, but not yours.

Hi guys,

As mentioned on Twitter, I've forwarded the issue to the developers, we are aware of it and once we have any news we'll be sure to let you know.

We are a small team, and we are working hard to remedy this issue.

The festive period has been quite chaotic for us, but we're doing our best to resolve these issues.

Best,

Peter

Looks like someone is working on this. Two messages just went through. I will wait before I mark it solved, to see whether it is a real fix or the problem just became intermittent.

Hi Inxwalt,

Glad to hear you've had some success with Plurk. Fingers crossed things have taken a turn for the better :)

Just to let you know, I've personally been collating and sending over bug reports for various issues so rest assured it isn't a case of we're not working on things.

Unfortunately given our resources, we also have to prioritise certain fixes.

When more information becomes available we will update the necessary channels to keep everyone up to date.

Thanks for your patience,

Peter

I'm marking this solved, since 5 out of 6 posts went through from HelloTxt and the same number from Pingfm.

Hi all,

Just as an update to this. It turns out Plurk had set up a IP block list to keep spammers off their service.

They had a whitelist of IP addresses that were allowed on their service, Hellotxt was not one of them.

We've since emailed over the details, and should be put onto their whitelist.
Meaning that with any luck this shouldn't be an issue any more!

Thanks,

Peter

Not sure if it is happening again. Can't log into the Plurk service from HelloTxt. Previously none of my updates were hitting Plurk so I removed & tried to re-add the service to which it gives me the "Wrong Data" error.
