Hi, I am really new to all of this. I got the greatbundi's code to work and also another code. What I am not understanding is why it does not display other informormation. For instance, for me at least, this code does not tell me what friend's update I am reading. It only shows the text and for the life of me I can not figure out why!
A brief explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.
