You also can't check into a venue via SMS if there are multiple venues with the same name and your location is not set to the same as any of them. In other words, if your location is currently set to X and you want to check into a venue that exists with the same name in location A and location B, you can't.

I'd love to see this implemented as well. I'm getting the sense, though, that non-smartphone owners are not foursquare's target market, since I have yet to see a single SMS-related query get any sort of response from the company.

I'm using a Motorola phone (a MOTORIZR) on Verizon Wireless and I have the same problem -- except that so far I've never been able to log in via the mobile site successfully. This means that I can't check into any venue that I've got to search for, or any venues that aren't close enough to my currently set location (since I can't log in to change my location).

I just posted a new thread here on Get Satisfaction related to this one. The gray-and-orange tab should not show up when printing a web page. That thread is here - http://gsfn.us/t/rxz4

There needs to be a way to make the little toolbar tab disappear for printing

There needs to be a way to make the little toolbar tab disappear for printing. I am loving the new version of the service and the look of the tab doesn't bother me. But I sometimes print from the web and I can't figure out any way to make the toolbar tab image vanish. If I have to disable the extension and restart my browser every time I want to print a web page, I'm not going to run the extension. If you're using HTML to display the Twones images at the top of the page, couldn't you use CSS to make it invisible for printers? Just by adding a line, something like
@media print {display: none;}

I'm not a programmer, but I think that shouldn't be too complicated, right?

Well, thank you for your speedy response. I'll email you my username -- I definitely want to keep my account. Thank you.

Update: It occurs to me that you might want to change the way this particular error is handled. If I had known the RSS feeds were disabled, it would have saved me some significant aggravation. Instead I kept being told to "please try again."

So there's no workaround? Is there any prediction on when it is going to be fixed? This feature is one of the reasons I signed up for Premium.

Clicking on RSS links for mailboxes gives error message

When I go to Settings > Mailboxes > and then into an individual mailbox, I see links for five different RSS feeds on the settings page -- Read and Unread messages, Unread, Read, Deleted, and Starred (or something like that). However, every time I click on one of them, I get the standard OIB error message, the red bar across the top of the page. I haven't tested this too extensively (I use the Gmail organizer and have lots of mailboxes) but it seems to happen everywhere I've tried it over the last few days.

Thanks for the clarification. I wonder if you might consider putting this information somewhere where users could find it -- it would have saved me some aggravation if I had known.

nbr replied on February 18, 2010 03:05 to the problem "Trying to add an IMAP account, Threadsy will not accept my credentials" in threadsy:

I don't think that's it -- but I'm not really very technically knowledgeable. My email address ends in @ursinus.edu but the IMAP server is exchange2k.ursinus.edu -- but that shouldn't be a problem, right?

UPDATE: Ordinarily I just use the first part of my email address (before the @) to log in to my IMAP server, rather than my full address. Is that the problem?

Trying to add an IMAP account, Threadsy will not accept my credentials

I see that similar issues have been posted a few times before. I am finding that when I enter credentials for my IMAP mail server (it's Exchange 2000, IMAP on port 110, SMTP on port 43, no SSL), Threadsy just highlights fields in red and asks me again. This is pretty maddening, because I am using the same settings that work fine in other clients. Any suggestions?
