Description JimiJames.Bove 2011-08-26 03:02:58 UTC
Version:           1.1 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Choqok's setting for the number of tweets to show on the timeline works just fine. What doesn't work is whenever my Twitter timeline exceeds 200 tweets, Choqok simply doesn't load any tweets older than that point, nor does it load any tweets in lists either:
1. older than ~1.5 days (causing the lists to not even add up to 200 tweets in these situations)
or (not sure which) 2. older than 20 tweets per list
I have to go to the Twitter website and scroll down forever until I get the tweets I've missed. This is a major pain in the ass every day, as my timeline exceeds 200 tweets while I'm at school.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up and authorize a Twitter account on Choqok that follows plenty of people, and don't let Choqok refresh until your timeline breaks 200 new tweets.

Actual Results:  
Choqok only grabs the latest 200 tweets and ignores the rest.

Expected Results:  
Choqok grabs as many tweets as you've set the timeline to show, as long as that are that many in your account's timeline.

This seems like it could be some issue with Twitter cutting Choqok off once it's grabbed 200 tweets, like maybe their website only supports scripts taking up that much memory or something.

The option is how many tweets Choqok should keep in its timeline, not load.
If you set the option to 10 and then you have more tweets it will load all of them!

But about exceeding 200 tweets, actually it is the twitter api limit for fetching timeline!
So, I think this isn't a bug!
This can be a whish to Choqok load as much as possible of tweets, or adding more button to fetch older tweets.
