Losing People From Groups...

I regularly "lose" people from groups... why is that happening?  Names that were checked one day show up unchecked a couple days later and their tweets do not post to the group.  I am regularly scanning the friends list to review and recheck who is in each group.  What can correct this problem?

This has happened to me as well.  I know there have been tweets in the groups too as I tweet on a separate account for work purposes and those tweets aren't showing up all of a sudden.

This also happens to me quite regularly. Usually I realise after someone who's a prolific tweeter suddenly goes quiet. Just a moment ago, I clicked a TwitPic link in a tweet from someone in a group. The image opened, and then TweetDeck seemed to refresh - and that person's tweets had disappeared! I checked the group members and found that approx. 15 people had been unselected from the group. Grrrrrr...

This happens to me all the time. And when I go to Edit Group Members to add them back, they are usually not even listed even though I am still following them. One time I counted and TweetDeck was missing 10 people that I was following. I had to log onto Twitter and unfollow them and then re-follow them for the people to show up on TweetDeck. This is a daily occurrence pretty much. If I didn't use other twitter apps, I would miss a lot of tweets because of the dropped followers on this app.

Same problem here. My question is: is TweetDeck Support reading this or doing anything about it? Some people I am following never appear in my list so I can't add them to a group. What's the use?

Quick follow-up to say this continues to happen to me with 0.33.0 (Mac OS X) and 1.3 (iPhone).

My wife and I are both experiencing this issue in both the desktop and iPhone apps. I see fixes were released this week for the desktop app. Forthcoming iPhone update???

This has been a major annoyance to me and has me on the verge of dropping TweetDeck.  Especially since there is no way I can check to see who is/isn't in groups.  If I could see a list of "ungrouped" folks or have a table which shows tweeps/groups that would help (per a feature request I just commented on) but I tire of discovering I've been missing tweets from folks....

Same here - and even worse, my groups are starting to overwrite each-other. I have one giant group with about 900 Facebook friends in it, and a smaller group with about 50 friends. About 25% of the time when I go to edit the smaller group, all of a sudden I see hundreds of checkmarks in the member list - and sure enough, TweetDeck has overwritten my carefully edited list. The only option is to create it all over again from scratch. Drives me insane! Please fix this ASAP!
