It looks like from the other ticket that it didn't work on the developers site. I think that should probably be the first step to see if something is up.

To follow the steps:

1. Visit https://developer.spotify.com/console/post-playlists/
2. Click "Get Token"
3. Make sure playlist-modify-public playlist-modify-private are both checked
4. Request token
5. Login and accept
6. In a different tab go to https://www.spotify.com/is/account/overview/ and confirm it's the same account as you just logged in with in step 5.
7. Copy your username
8. Go back to https://developer.spotify.com/console/post-playlists/
9. Input your username in for user_id
10. Response is on the right side.

If there is an error in the console, do you mind sharing it here afterward?
