New "Tweet This" Functionality Added to Forums

[twc_admin]

Hey Everyone,

Two new functions added to the forums today (Saturday, 7/18):

You can now spread the conversations and posts via Twitter.

To "tweet" an entire thread:
From the thread, choose "Thread Tools" and "Tweet This Thread".

To "tweet" a specific post (reply or message):
click the "Tweet this Post" button.

The first time you do this, you will be presented with Twitter.Com's "oauth" process which will authorize your userID to post to your twitter.Com account. You will only need to do this once. (Note, this is secure and your twitter userID and/or password are NOT stored on our site, nor do we have any record of your credentials!)

Also, when you first authorize, it will send a tweet that you successfully integrated it. You'll need to do the "tweet this" one more time to share the link - then, you'll only need to click once.
When you click either "Tweet This" link, it will immediately post to your Twitter account for all of your followers to see. As of the time I write this, there doesn't seem to be any type of verification to let you know it worked - so check your Twitter profile and confirm. Don't keep clicking it over and over, as you will continually be posting the link to your Twitter followers then.

I'd be grateful if some folks tested this and replied here if it works!

Thanks,
Fred

Worked for me!

However, when I initially clicked through to the site, I wasn't logged in, and the "TweetThis" button still linked me to Twitter, but it didn't do anything once I confirmed my twitter account info. If I was logged in, it worked beautifully.
