my tweets were updated 1 and 40 years ago !!!

lols. I also meet the same problem. My comments which posted just 1 min ago show, 1 year back. And my twitter account time also affeccted ??

Have this problem after changing to 1.6.2

Same problem here, it says my tweets were updated -1 years ago.

This is kind of annoying considering this is the nicest looking twitter widget IMO.

I too am having this problem. I haven’t had time to debug the code, but I think it has to do with the AJAX requests being timed out by a poor shared host (Bluehost in this case).

An option to use the old, non-ajaxy widget would probably solve it. Alternatively, I have a feeling a better host wouldn’t stop these requests.

You know, testing this a bit harder today, I think it also has to do with the time of your last update. If I have a tweet on the current day, it (usually) displays without an issue. If I haven’t tweet for a day or two, the error shows up. Either way, wish the developer would get on top of it.

I’m agreeing with Jakemgold, if I wait a long time, it seems like the timestamps become something on the order of hours, instead of -1 years.

That leads me to wonder (just because it’s about 7 hours later, in my case) whether it’s subtracting the time offset for the respective timezone from UTC twice. Changing the time settings on twitter.com as well as in the wordpress control panel don’t seem to change anything.

try setting your time zone in the twitter profile to the same one your wordpress blog has.

Definitely tried that, still no dice. They’re both set to MST -7 (Arizona).

I’m wondering if this is yet another elusive problem related to how my timezone has no DST. This is a challenge Microsoft has yet to even fully fix.

Time zones definitely in sync on my site / Twitter account as well.

this and another php 4 bug were fixed in mystique 1.68.
