A Few Fixes

It’s come to our attention that a good amount of our users are reporting that upon install, or update of Twitbin, the bird icon isn’t present. This has been bugging us so we’ve dug up a few answers that will hopefully help anone with this problem out.

First off, be aware that just because you don’t see the bird icon, doesn’t mean Twitbin is not there. If you have the latest version of Twitbin, you should have a little bird icon on the bottom right of your browser window in the status bar. If you don’t have the status bar visible, simply click on View and then make sure that Status Bar is checked. Now if you click on the bird in the status, this will open twitbin in your sidebar.

Another way to solve this is to manually add the bird in the navbar. It seems that many people have numerous add-ons, and sometimes, they just don’t get along, which will cause the icon to be allowed on the nav bar. Have no fear, simply click on View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and this will open a window. Scroll down and you should see your little bird icon there. Simply drag and drop it onto your navbar, and that’s it. Now if you click on it, Twitbin will open.

Finally, with the help of a loyal user numnutz (no seriously, that’s what he/she signed the messages with, so i have to at least credit him/her) it came to our attention that Twitbin and the Skype add-on, specifically version 2.2.0.102, don’t get along. If you are unable to find the icon, or the see it in the status bar or even in the customize window, you may need to disable some add-ons one by one to see if there’s a conflict.

Hopefully that will help out those of you experiencing these problems. We will be updating Twitbin again with a few minor design updates, as well as a few new functionalities that we believe will make plenty of you happy.
