can't reply to a specific tweet

[MM]

When I try, my app just posts a tweet @anotheruser but not in reply to the tweet they just posted

Here's my code:

tweet_id = tweet.id_str
status = '@' + user.screen_name + ' great point!'

api.update_status(status, in_reply_to_status_id_str = tweet_id)

any help would be appreciated!

You should try converting id_str to an int first.
