Button displays incorrect retweet count

  1. buttons were working great. have since stopped working properly since you guys upgraded a bunch of stuff on tweetmeme.

    does tweetmeme not track links that are tweeted as bit.ly links?

    this post has been tweeted at least 8 times:

    see here for verification:
    http://bit.ly/app/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F8QWH2

    the tweetmeme button doesn't work on the main page of my blog or on the pages. it used to work fine and you can see it working for other posts. i believe my code is fine.

  2. Hi There,

    We'll look into this. It's an odd bug and we've not seen this with other users so far.

    Many thanks

  3. Just found the cause of the problem. The bit.ly link that you are referring to is to an old permalink structure that you used to use in the format of: http://industrialinterface.com/blog/?p=521&preview=true

    The link that we are looking for in retweets is as follows:
    http://industrialinterface.com/blog/2009/10/26/sagan-feynman-degrasse-tyson-bill-nye-rapping-about-the-universe/

    As you can see there is a big difference between the two layouts and we will only track retweets to the endpoint URL that the button is related to which is the current url : http://industrialinterface.com/blog/2009/10/26/sagan-feynman-degrasse-tyson-bill-nye-rapping-about-the-universe/

    Many thanks
    Sarah
