Rafflecopter / Twitter Link Question

Options
Morning all!

So... when I first started doing RC comps back in December, my RC worked fine with Twitter: it would, as with the FB links, give me a button to press to follow.

For the last month or so, if I click the follow button for Twitter, it takes me to a Twitter webpage, where I have to click another button to follow.

Has this changed for everyone?

I am puzzled because..
1) I've not changed any settings at my end
2) FB still works with the 1 click in RC
3) TW works with 1 click on the Gleam and Woobox widgets

Thanks in advance :D

    It happened to me three

    What I did was click the link, which brought up the twitter persons page & where it says your twitter name at the top hover over it until log out shows. Click log out. Then because I have lastpass (robo form might do this too) it automatically logged me in again & it was showing that I do in fact follow this person

    Thanks for the advice, LO... will try logging out of Twitter and seeing if that helps reset things.

    It used to be so much easier than it is now... I could never understand so many people not liking RC, but it's clearly a bit buggy, so now I understand a bit better on that score :rotfl:

    I wish blogs would use Gleam Widget instead of Rafflecopter because the Gleams always work!

    As someone who uses Rafflecopter to run comps I can tell you gleam is a whole lot more complicated to set up, I got so far in, gave up and went back to rafflecopter - which has just has a upgrade so hopefully a few probs sorted out now.
