Dave - is there a way to add a prefix to pics that publish in twitter?

I just want to make sure folks know that the message is from flickr, since I am also sending other feeds into twitter. Some are actually from me and some are auto from feeds.

Example Twttr message:

(flickr) just took this photo <tiny url="">

Thanks for your reply Dave!

Very special. The problem is solved automagically:
I did not change any setting since I placed the reaction and asked for help here.
However now almost immediately after I 'pushed' a picture via FlickrFan to flickr a tweet appeared in my Twitter stream: http://twitter.com/fzelders...

Great!

I can't help without more information. How about reading the posts below and see if they offer any clues, and if not, post some details, links to feeds, etc.

Hey Dave, Interesting feature!

However ... not able to get the FlickrToTwitter functionality up and running :-(
Pictures uploaded by PhotoFan to Flickr worked fine. They are tagged properly...
... no Twitter/Tweet however. All preferences set properly.

Twitter from OPML editor (using today's Outline window) works well.

Conclusion: Flickr account AND Twitter account settings are correct.

Hope you can help!

Eager as I was, I did the update through the link and then got somewhat confusing messages:

http://www.flickr.com/photo...
but also:
http://www.flickr.com/photo...

The prefs page still looked the old way, but restarting OPML editor did the trick :-)

Here's a screen shot of what the new Prefs page is supposed to look like.

Okay this tells me all I need to know. You don't have the new version of the prefs. Let me try pushing it out again and you'll certainly get it by the top of the hour.

You can get all the updates right now by clicking on this link.

Thanks for the quick response Dave!

Here's what I did:

Set the prefs (directly through the link in your post) according instructions, then uploaded a photo to Flickr.
After the first upload not showing up on Twitter I ran the update (tools>PhotoFan), just to be sure. Then tried another photo.

Flickr acct: http://www.flickr.com/photo...

Prefs page: http://www.flickr.com/photo...

Here it doesn't seem to work; tried twice. Not sure what extra info I could give.

hi dave, it seems to me a lot like mobypicture.com or dot.nl (service mostly used in the netherlands, so that's probably why you wouldn't know about it?;)
