It's unfortunate, because it did work before yesterday.

I can no longer get the user timeline without a) asking them for a  
username and b) using a proxy account.

It is unfortunate again because I have created www.twollo.com which  
requires a users username and password and I have been hoping to move  
away from that, and now www.itsabot.com no longer has the  
interactivity it once had.

I will have to work around it but it just won't be as good and I am  
not to pleased because I have 4 more projects in the pipeline that I  
am putting on ice.

Regards,
Paul
