Are you using a really low end user agent to try to access the site? I don't know what's turned off for lower end browsers, but I just tested in desktop Webkit.

Are you using a really low end user agent to try to access the site? I don't know what's turned off for lower end browsers, but I just tested in desktop Webkit. There's a character count in the upper right of the tweet box. There are user icons, unless you clicked the "images off" link. As for total DM count, that isn't really possible right now. The app is just another API client, and the DM API endpoint only provides the last 20 DMs.
