  The timestamps on the Twitter widget aren’t working. The latest status updates appear, but the timestamps are replacing Twitter usernames in the URL with a double // and the links go to an error page at Twitter. I’ve noticed this is happening to almost every WP blog I’ve checked that uses the widget.

  (I deleted the widget on my own site and just put a Twitter follow button for now.)

  Anyone else having this problem?

  Oh, here are two examples of what I’m talking about, the timestamps in the Twitter widgets on the right:

  Well, I already have a Twitter button on my page. Just wondering why the widget timestamps are all messed up.
