This started happening today when I posted my stories:

It does not appear to have any impact on the actual posting of the story.

Never mind.  I suspected Twitter was the problem so went to their site to cehck it out and saw your tweet:

"TheVGPress: The Twitter feed is malfunctioning. Hopefully resolved soon - I'm on it."

Crap.  Did some quick live tests and forgot to reupload the file.  Normally wouldn't, but I was getting different local versus live results.

I'm waiting on a response from Twitter because I think the IP we're on has been blocked from API submissions.

My IP determined flag is USA.  Heh.  Was I voted off the continent island?

It detects citizenship now instead

But no, you logged in with Opera Turbo enabled, which is a proxy, so the server receives that IP address instead.

A couple days ago, I've noticed that sometimes the links that show up when I upload some news are broken, despite me properly filling the adress space. The broken links take you to a 404, and they show up as "php.something" or "closed". It happens infrequently, and doesn't seem associated to a specific site. Whenever I edit the update, and fill the adress space again with the same string, the problem is solved. 

Browser version: Opera 10.51, compilation 3315, platform Win32, system Windows NT 6.1

OS: Windows 7 64 bit.

Using Google Reader. 

What am I doing wrong?

This might not be all of it, but what you are seeing may be a result of clicking on a comment from the front page (where it goes back to the old format).  I might be misunderstanding you, in which case please ignore me.

It happens generally when clicking directly on the news tab from either the front page or forum. (Or even GGweekly!) It generallly goes the posts if I click on a comment from the front page.

Perhaps that might toggle something so that if I click on news after that it doesn't work, though. I should try that actually!

*Has tried*

Doesn't seem to.

That's from the Jump Last Unread setting -- I wasn't aware others were using it; it's been glitchy from the get-go.  I think I may have it patched up just now, but yeah, I know the problem.

Okay thanks! will turn it off in the mean time then.

Side note, I just stumbled across the solution to a long-standing glitch on GG Weekly that caused you not to be able to see the post you just made on GG Weekly.

 Oh and thanks for this. It has caused many a double post.

Yeah last read is working great. So combined with the hide read comments makes navigation much easier.  Question: Do hidden comments (from the hide read comments selection) still load, or do they load only if I click Show?

The behaviour with that will depend on the browser.  The CSS property is display: none for the body of the comment, so for Firefox and Opera, the mark-up and text is loaded (it's still part of the HTML), but media such as images are not.  Other browsers I don't know offhand.

I'll be following this up by looking into a solution for the previously read times on GG Weekly.  Presently, for example, if there are 20 pages of GG Weekly comments and you load 19, when you go to 20 they'll all be marked read (visiting any GG Weekly page marks everything read at that point).  Just haven't come up with an elegant solution for this as yet.
