June 2[edit]

tweeting in twitter[edit]

A couple of questions, but I'll start with one: don't know if this one belongs here, or to 'computers desk'. but let's give it a try. I don't know why I don't see my tweets to others in their respective pages, though I see them in my 'tweets & replies' list, while other's are seen there. Does it mean that, probably, my tweets to, say, X, are seen by others in his page. בנצי (talk) 13:17, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Instead of struggling to choose between desks on WP, why not go to Twitter itself? They have a help page here, complete with methods of contacting them directly in various ways. An admin there probably can access your account directly to see if something is amiss. Matt Deres (talk) 13:48, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your tip. It'll be examined. Anyway, my question wasn't about losing something, but rather systematic. By the way, others don't see them either. Checked. There must be another reason for this difference, maybe to do with the level of exposure I'm permitted within a specific member's page. בנצי (talk) 14:29, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Amiss" doesn't mean "missing". Matt Deres (talk) 19:00, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I know. Coincidence. בנצי (talk) 19:49, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought that's why your reply clarified that you hadn't lost something - I didn't imply that you did and I couldn't see a reason why you'd bring it up otherwise. Matt Deres (talk) 23:47, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because that's how Twitter works? If you @ someone, that tweet doesn't show up on their page, for the very simple reason that they didn't send the tweet. --Viennese Waltz 20:41, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
