I wanted to block a certain user (pic attached for clafication) so I used the popup menu to block them, and it did not work. When I visited the user's page in the interface it showed they were not blocked.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for the message. I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with Socialite, I understand what an inconvenience this may be for you.

    Did you use the 'More Actions' menu to do this and what version of Socialite are you running? As I am currently unable to reproduce this issue myself. Are you able to consistently recreate the issue?

    Kind regards,

    Luke

    yes, I used the "more actions" menu. I am not able to consistently test the feature because I do not want to block users on a regular basis. But if I do try to block another user, I will advise you as to the results.

    Hi there

    Thanks for your message. For this particular method we rely on the Twitter API to return the correct status for 'blocked' and 'following'. The API is currently a little broken in this regard, and we're keeping an eye on this for a fix.

    Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Nik
