What's the recent development on this Access Denied problem? Was it fixed ?

Twitux doesn't look to have been updated since 2009. It's likely, as the original bug reporter said, that Twitux does not support OAUTH which means that Twitux is now useless as a Twitter client unfortunately, which is a shame. According to https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/oauth/faq Twitter stopped allowing Twitter clients to use basic password authentication in 2010. I think Twitux only used basic password authentication.

I used to like Twitux because of its minimal interface, but had to find an alternative.
