Thanks for your replies, Martin, but clearly there is something else going on here besides incorrect use of profile URLs in my actions. Let me be absolutely clear on a few points so instead of you telling me what I am doing wrong or should do differently you will take a look at what your software is doing differently than it was before.
1) The Retweet actions have NO problem retweeting tweets from accounts I do not own. Almost without fail it will NOT retweet ANY of the profiles I own. I am using the EXACT setup, including using a list that contains BOTH other people's profiles and my own. It outright skips mine and processes others. If the list of URLs consists ONLY of my profiles, it fails with none processed. As an example:
List #1:
https://twitter.com/MyUserProlife1
https://twitter.com/OtherUserProfile1
https://twitter.com/OtherUserProfile2
https://twitter.com/OtherUserProfile3
...
This will only process the last three and not even attempt the first (mine).
List #2:
https://twitter.com/MyUserProlife1
https://twitter.com/MyUserProlife2
https://twitter.com/MyUserProlife3
...
This will fail immediately with no attempts on any profile tweets.
2) I have tried multiple ways to do this, including your suggestion of a Custom Search (though you didn't provide an example I experimented with a few that should work). So I still used the list of profile URLs then custom searches like RecentTweetsOf and ListMembers - Recent/LatestTweetOf, NONE of them would process MY URLs but worked fine with other people's. In one case, the action would retweet the specified accounts own tweets but none others and using List Members just told me the supplied URLs are not valid. That's a head scratcher. So I cannot use "From List" and I cannot use Custom Searches to retweet tweets from my own accounts (as in
https://twitter.com/MyUserProlife1).
3) I understand your explanation in your last post, however, again, what I have been doing works fine with other people's accounts (using From List) but NOT mine. And again, this was not a problem until I updated to 1.4.3.3 and 1.4.3.4. And when I say that I mean, again, the
very first action after I updated started having this problem (along with image posts not rescheduling after they completed which I brought up in another thread). And no, I doubt I was using a "much" older version as the software has a pop=u[ (which I cannot suppress even though I have the option un-checked in the Help menu, but that is a separate, albeit important, issue) and I update every time as soon as I see it.
So please, do what you can do try and repeat my actions and if you have success please tell me *exactly* the steps you took and I will try on my end. I can provide the exact list text files if that helps, just let me know where to send them. In the meantime I'm going to keep testing different things but I'm convinced at this point that something was altered in the update and that's where the problem is, not on my end.
Thanks.
Edit:
- I get now why List Members doesn't work - assume it wants a URL of a Twitter list.
- Is it possible the update corrupted or somehow messed up my database? If the update itself did not affect Retweet actions in any way then I'm thinking there's some reason why the software keep skipping/failing on accounts that I have registered with the software?
- Some more testing and I can retweet from my accounts using the list of profile URLs ... as long as "Unique Items per account" is not checked. The problem of course is if I uncheck this it will retweet the same tweets in the future. But this leads me to believe it's possible that the software is somehow incorrectly believing all of my accounts (or at least their tweets) have been processed/retweeted previously and so when it tries to load up the URL it's showing something like 14/16 items (assume that's recent tweets?) have already been processed, and in some cases all of them - of course that's impossible because they haven't been, or at least there are newer tweets available that haven't been processed. Yeah, that's probably confusing but it's a very odd situation.
