PS - since i'm using xenporta as my hompage & have a redirect in my root dir pointing to my xen dir, I set the board homepage in the twitter app & in my site basic board settings to the xen dir instead of root. I don't believe this fixed the auth error but thought I'd point it out anyway. to solve the issue of the double "home" tab created by xenporta when I entered the board url, I just deleted it from "navigation" template.
