I'm using the modification and it is working fine as far as posting to Twitter. I am not using a URL shortening service. However the problem is that when I use to make new threads on my forums I would see a good increase in traffic as a result.
Now when I post threads there is no difference between the numbers of the who's online before and after making threads and posting to the Twitter service. It's like the traffic has dropped dramatically?? Any ideas of why that might be? Did Twitter ban me or something? :confused: It seems this started around March 6-7th. I'm using the v4.0.003 version. :confused: |
If Twitter suspended you then you could tell right away because you wouldn't see your posts getting tweeted.
Maybe you installed some anti-bot software recently? Or something you have is just working better. Consider using a shortening service so you can count the actual clicks. |
I did install the GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic modification back a while ago. I can't remember exactly when but it might have been near that time. I just can't remember. I've disabled that and will see if that helps. Thanks for the ideas. :up:

I just upgraded to the 4.0.6 version and it is working. I am not having any installation problems. I also disabled the Spam - O - Host modification to see if that was causing problems. It's a little early to tell right now if this fixed it or not.

Be careful what you wish for. No question spammers and bots generate hits, but you make that sound like a Good Thing rather than a deal with the devil.

I don't think the extra traffic was spammers and bots as I've been using the modification for quite a while now. I've at times gone through the who's online to see that they were using non-bot and spammer IP addresses and Internet providers. I also usually check the physical location of the IP address as well. Most overseas IP addresses for my forums are spammers, bots, and trolls. I had never made any comments that I thought spammers and bots were a good thing, I'm not sure what gave you that idea?
Are you suggesting that this modification is only good for attracting spammers and bots? Finally, it looks like my providers server stats are messed up. They are not reporting right, in fact they are not reporting at all right now. Definitely very frustrating. |
Can you please upgrade to 4.1.12
