Hi Damon,
I don't use the Pro version, and I don't know of any way of clicking a link.
But to update tweets is easy, in fact there are two ways. The first is the
manual way, Options Refresh. The second is to set the refresh interval in
settings and then hide rather than close the program. Key2 hides it.
All the best
Steve

phones (was: Re: Re: Ipod Touch! and Macs
HI Steve.
I got on it in the end. I had added the password and username correctly. The
issue was that the software didn't seem to be attempting to connect with the
twitter site.I had to wait until it decided to do it for itself. Do you know
a way to force a connect immediately? I can't get it to update easily.
Also, how do you view the URLs that people post in their tweets? Ideally I'd
click on them and view the site?
Do you use the full pro version of the software? I gather that's just one
pound. If so, is it asaccessible as the lower spec free version I have now
got?
Thanks
