monTwitter - cutting off first part of tweet

I have installed monTwitter and it is cutting off the first three characters of my tweets.

Here is the call:

[[!getFeed? &offset=`0` &url=`http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/mafokken.rss` &tpl=`twitterFeedTpl` &limit=`3`]]

Now I think it is because of the way the snippet was supposed to work, with my twitter id #, instead of my screen name. The id # is longer than my screen name. I couldn't find my id #. I uninstalled monTwitter, changed to a new &tpl, and getFeed worked just fine.

How is the monTwitter code called and executed by getFeed? If I knew where the files are on my server, I could fix it myself. The problem is not in the chunk or snippets installed by monTwitter.

Well, if you give me enough time, I'll usually figure it out on my own.

I replaced this line in the snippet "twitter":

<?php
return substr($input,13);

With this:

<?php
if(stripos($input, ' ') !== false)
	$input = substr($input, stripos($input, ' ') );


return $input;
