Weird publicise problem

My blog is at: http://trickygirl.wordpress.com/

I’ve long had my blog connected to Twitter and Yahoo! Updates with no problems – but when I started editing a new post today, the ‘publicise’ section on my edit page had a notice on it which read:

“To enable Publicize: Yahoo! Updates, you will need to authorize your WordPress.com account on Another Kind Of Mind to connect with your Yahoo! Updates account.

Authorize connection with Yahoo! Updates”

However, when I go into the Sharing Settings section of my Dashboard, it tells me that I am still connected to Yahoo! Updates (and Twitter).

Very odd!

Is this just a glitch or something I should be worried about?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I am getting the impression from other threads that staff are tinkering with the Publicize options. I’d report it to them via the Dashboard Help button.

Well, I had similar issue last night with my facebook account. I thought the notice popped up because I’ve changed my facebook password. I just followed the notice and everything back to normal.

I have had this happen in the past and usually deleting the app on Facebook and reapplying it fixed it. Did not work this time. lol

I am having the same problem…and I am hoping it desn’t get fixed and then publish the same post a zillion times to facebook for each time I tried to publicize it!!! But still hoping the problem does get fixed.

Still happening.

Thanks for the replies but I don’t have my blog connected to Facebook so that’s not the problem!

Have tried clicking on the link to authorise Yahoo! Updates but that sends me straight through to an error page…

I’ll be reporting this to staff as raincoaster suggests.

Thanks again.

I tried to reestablish the Yahoo publicize on my blog to fix this myself. It give me this error: Yahoo! is unable to process your request. We recommend that you contact the owner of the application or web site to resolve this issue. [95025]

I’m having the same problem in ‘Publicize’, but with Facebook, demanding re-authorization for each new post. Like nandobase I recently changed my FB password. I’m not having this problem with Twitter, however. Perhaps the issue is specific to some platforms?

I’m getting the same messages as carolhagen and the same error message! Weird, huh I’ll hold on to see if it gets “fixed.”

Just to let you know that I finally managed to connect with Yahoo through the link on my edit page and all is now sorted!

Thanks to you all for your attempts to resolve this :)
