Hi guys,
I have been abroad for the last two months and on return I notice that when looking at the Boro Walk on twitter, the latest tweets relate to last November, the same when I look at the club twitter feed. I,m totally ignorant when it comes to tech issues, so does anyone know why this is the case? I have used the same laptop.

That's a shame Peter, but I'm sure one of the tech wizzkids will help you soon.
Failing that, any family member, around seven years old will sort it out.
If not, I find a hammer usually fixes it!! Best thing for most tech!!

Are you logged in to X/Twitter with your own account? Or going directly to Boro Walk’s profile without logging in?
If it’s the latter I think this is one of Melon Husk’s latest brainwaves. If you look at an X/Twitter account without logging in it just shows you a random, non-chronological selection of past messages.
The only solution is to sign up for an account and log in. It’s a pain. I’d happily bin Twitter but it’s still the only feasible way of getting regular updates and commentary on lower league football scores plus things like travel updates. I’ve been trying to persuade BW to try other platforms!

This is why Mark Zuckerberg launched Threads, to rival Twitter when it went down the pan, but I don't think it's taken off. I agree, unfortunately, Twitter has had such a mark on society for the last seventeen years that people can't just move over to another platform, even if Elon Musk wastes the $44bn he spent on it.
My point (after a lot of waffle) is that people will continue to use Twitter and those that don't have an account will be forced to make one, even if they don't really want one,

Yes, another piece of tech that people are being forced to take on!! On line banking because branches are closed, supermarket self serve checkouts with staffed ones reduced, card only outlets with no cash taken, robot answering machines at nearly every utility company, or company, and none of them having an answer to your question, so you spend hours on the phone!! Anyone tried to talk to HMRC recently??
Yes modern tech can be very useful, but nothing actually is better than talking to a human being!!

And it will continue until the march of the accountants is stopped. Sadly, many of them are targeted to find the least cost as opposed to the best value. The mob I worked for for 26 years is a good example. First it was led by engineers (creating value), then by sales (extracting maximum revenue) and then, for many years, by accountants purely targeted on reducing costs. And shareholders wonder why the stock is such an underperformer. D'oh! |

Accountants only know balance sheets!! they aren't in the real world!!
5 million profit for the Company last year and a 4 million profit this year is recorded as a LOSS of 1 million!!!
It's STILL profit many would be happy with ffs. Why can't they be satisfied with a profit??
Yes, it's down on the previous year, but why not accept it, and try to find out what has happened to cause it, and hopefully restore it next year!!
The old adage is still good : There are lies, damn lies and statistics!!!
