Jeredoc,I guess this is a dumb question but what does GSA stand for? Also what do you do with the 25,000 URLs after I have them? What is the value proposition of you product? Can I make money and if so how? Can I save money and if so how?

I've also been trying the Proxy-N-vpn service. I've been using the Shared Private Proxies (SP-10) package. The proxies always work; but sometimes Google will request a captcha solve on IPs that are getting heavy use. I added a captcha solve in the UBOT program and it has been working fine. I like the money that you save with the shared proxies.

botoballs,I'm not sure how other people do it but I am using the command below to see if Google is requesting a captcha solve: set(#CaptchaCheck, $find regular expression($page scrape("To continue, ", " below:"), "please type the characters"), "Global") After I solve the captcha I reissue the command above again to see if the request for a second captcha solve is present.

zoephoenix,if you show the forum your code, I would expect that someone can show you how to change it to use variables.

I'm working on a program that really needs to use proxies. In the past I have not had much luck using them. Here is what I learned over the weekend that made this simple proxy checker work: 1. SET PROXY CREDENTIALS command in UBOT STUDIO version 4 does not work with the shared proxies from the company I am using. (it may work for other companies or fully private proxies) (My company allows me to enter APPROVED IPs instead of using USERNAME/PASSWORD and that is what I am doing) 2. Even if you just signed up with a proxy company and got your IPs they may not all work so you better

Code Docta (TC), Thanks for the information on the revision. I haven't started using version 5 yet. I am waiting and watching before I start. I have been just watching the revision link below to see where version 5.5 is and what bugs are outstanding at. http://tracker.ubotstudio.com/projects/ubot-5/roadmap?utf8=%E2%9C%93&tracker_ids%5B%5D=1&tracker_ids%5B%5D=2&completed=1

anis,By the way, the latest version of UBOT Studio I see is version 5.5.2. It is difficult to know what is wrong with the code you mentioned above without seeing the code. However, I would guess the variable that you use to store the URL for navigate needs to be a local variable and not a global variable. In the SET command under ADVANCED you have an option to choose LOCAL or GLOBAL variable.

fastlinks,By the way, I was looking at your LSI product in your signature line. I was clicking "GET INSTANT ACCESS" but could never really get to a screen where I could buy.

cmmorris1,Great idea!

In that case, you may want to try and put the current loop into a loop, In the current loop you reduce it to do 10 iterations and in the new outter loop you reset all the variables and lists used and restart the inner loop. The outter loop continues until all the posts are done.

askwpcoach,At the office we have a lots of code that has been running well for years. So when we have a problem we first check the data since the code has proven to be solid for a long time. A couple of suggested test runs I would make with your code: 1. Delete rows 12, 13 and 14. Run the code and see what happens and look for a clue. 2. Sort the input file into descending order. Run the code and see what happens and look for a clue. Sorry that's not much help but it's worth a try.

SmileyBot,Thanks for your input. I am hoping that newer UBOTTERs will read this thread and maybe be spared the agony. Saving the code in Nick's text based source safe is starting to look better and better to me.

Yes, I believe there is an autosave function in UBOT. That is why the software sometimes asks if you want to recover a file. The problem is in the situations being mentioned is that the SAVE function did not seem to be working at all. I did check the autosave folder/file when I lost my code and the file in that folder had a date/timestamp for two days before the problem was discovered so it was no help.

uniquebot,Wow, 3 weeks work lost!! That sucks!! I've only seen that when people have had a hardware failure and didn't have a backup. I've always been a fanatic about backup because of what I have seen people loose; but in this case my on-going Carbonite backup didn't even capture a copy of the file. I am presuming that my SAVEs where not actually doing anything. Now I am using the script from above to check the time stamp of the file with every significant change and save of the code. I am also changing the file name with a new version number daily. Too bad that so much precaution is necessar

giganut,The thing is that both HaHaItsJake and myself know that we had done saves and the code still is missing. I believe the SAVEs were not working. I like the "Save & See button" above so you can verify the time stamp from the save is current.

I hear you!. The code that I lost was some of my best and most complicated code. I had built loops 4 levels deep that altered text I had scraped and turn it into spin text, spun the result and put it in a list to be written back out to the web. As I re-write the code I am making the same mistakes and then having to figure out the solutions a second time. What a pain!!!

Code Docta (TC),Thanks I like the Save and See button.

Thanks to every one responding. I hate that sick feeling you get when you know there is no way to recover and you have hours ahead of you to get back to the point you left off. I appreciate hearing everyone's comments because I know I saved it prior to re-opening it but my changes were still gone. The even more odd thing is that I have a Carbonite backup running and the version on their server was 2 days old too. It's like the saves I do often were just not working at all. I was wondering if my having UBOT open during the time when their forum server went away yesterday had anything to do with

Sometimes UBOT seems to stop working for me. When that happens I do a FILE, SAVE and then re-open the file I just saved. That usually causes everything to start working again as if I closed UBOT and re-opened everything. Even though I had just saved the file, the file that opened was 2 days old. What a sick feeling I have to know that two days of great coding is gone. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

cchangkhongayngo,Welcome to the forum. I'm sure there is someone here that will want to make your bot. Where are your from?

Jakarta,If the feature is important and valuable to you, you might want to talk to Aymen about adding the feature to his email pluggin, see it at:http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15459-sell-ubot-email-plugin-supercharge-your-ubot-bots/?hl=email

That's probably why so many UBOT developers are using many accounts and proxies.

mobileconsultant,Thanks much for your discussion of UBOT Studio v5.5.1. Like you I bought v5 and never really used it much before switching back to version 4. So when I go onto version v5.5 I will have to pay up too. That's why I have been waiting for stability before I do that. I will probably do it soon. Especially if more people come forward with positive comments on v5.5.

Jakarta,If you are using it for posting, why not just send multiple emails with one attachment each?

bobstratton, Did support suggest that when you open up ubot studio that you right click on the EXE and click "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR"? This may help if it is a permissions issue.
