Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Today I see that the microblogging plasmoid does not display any tweets at all (whether new or old ones). The content pane is just empty. It worked fine on Friday. I have rebooted the laptop once in between. I have one Twitter account configured. Also noticed that the password field in the settings was blank today, but after filling it in, there are still no messages.
Looks like I have the same problem. I have been using KDEmicroBlog plasmoid for some time already. I have been using it with KDE-4.3.1 without problems... until 2009-09-22. On this day the plasmoid "half stoped working". I say "half" because, like Marcus, I can't read any posts to twitter (be mine or from friends); however, I can send posts to the server (which later I can read using a browser). I am running Bluewhite64-13.0 (x86_64), KDE-4.3.1 (compiled from source), gcc-4.3.3, qt-4.5.2 (kde-qt). Need any other info?
Twitter has a posting on their announcements about Twitpocalypse II where they are changing the maximum ID status. The change was supposed to take place on 9/22. Could this be the cause of the problem? excerpt from post: "the Twitter operations team will artificially increase the maximum status ID to 4294967296" http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-api-announce/browse_thread/thread/3614bb896bf6ad3e?hl=en

It looks like the void MicroBlog::dataUpdated method in applets/microblogging/microblog.cpp is using uint for status ids. (I'm pretty sure that's a 32bit unsigned integer but I can't find the typedef and am not overly familiar with kde code base.) Switching to an unsigned long in all the relevant locations might fix the issue . . . .
Created attachment 37209 [details] uint to ulong patch Rereading what the previous posts, my issue may have been unrelated. I could see old tweets but not new ones. I've done a quick search replace in the applet portion of kdeplasma-addons and rebuilt it. From what I can tell, it appears to be functioning now. I see all the tweets that were missing and new tweets that I add. You might give this a shot . . . .
chrissalch, whatever was your issue, I tried your patch and it worked just fine. Thanks for that. KDE guys, please let us know when similar fix is official so I can patch and repackage for my distro.
