Would like to have an option to add "RT" or other leading characters to tweets from my feed tweet bot

A friend of mine donated some Yahoo Pipes code that tacks RT @username: in front of each tweet as I needed. I'm using that for now as a workaround, but I still believe this would be a logical option to add to tweetbots service.

We will address this in an upcoming release. Thx for reposting it here Maczter.

Not a problem. The "Title Only" option has been very helpful. As stated above, I have a workaround for this issue/feature request, but it would certainly be nice to see the option built into TweetBots, especially if the leading characters are users selectable.

Hello, a few days ago I set up an account, an auto follow bot and a feed bot and everything worked well. The feed it is currently using works and was made with yahoo pipes.
My brother asked me to set himself up something similar for another twitter account so I did the exact same process for it and its been 2 hours and it has yet to post the feed or follow anyone back. I started going nuts trying to figure out why the feed didn't work, but realized that since it is not auto following either it may not be something I can control.
The first one I made works currently and the second does not. Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

Bryan,
I think perhaps this makes sense to discuss in another new thread, but be sure to post specific feed links or account info and I would be happy to look into this.
