I would close the bot, run ccleaner, and then restart the bot. That works for me. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

I was using the change attribute command, not the type text. I have a number of things I'll have to test. I'm making a web 2.0 bot and some sites don't like email addresses from certain domains, some sites seem to be able to detect whether you're using a proxy (I'm using HMA pro vpn). I have to test a bunch of different things and start figuring out which variables are causing the problems. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues and if they were able to figure out a way to get past them. Update: I'm editing this post because I still need 3 more posts before I can post m

I am having trouble automating the sign ups at some sites like xanga and blog.com. When my bot fills out all of the necessary information and then clicks the "register" or "next" button on xanga the page sort of resets and the password fields go blank. On blog.com a message comes up that says try again as if I got the captcha wrong. The problem is I entered the captchas 30+ times and I know I got it right on most of them. When I sign up manually I have no problem but when the bot tries to sign up it's as if the captcha is wrong every time. Is anyone else having this issue? PS. I won't be

I would love to see those additions. It would be so much easier than doing it the way mentioned above and I have found myself wishing I could create a list from a table column many times.

I would love that function as well. There are work arounds for it but it would be so much easier if there were a simple command that would let you add a row or a column to a list. Where is the petition for me to sign?

I'm having a similar issue. It's as if the "new line" connector is not working. I've tried other commands to see if they would work and I could put random text in between the list items but the new line connector just doesn't seem to be working. Here is a copy of the code I'm using: navigate("http://ubotstudio.com/playground/simpleform.aspx", "Wait") wait for browser event("Page Loaded", "") ui open file("List of items", #list of items) add list to list(%list of items, $list from file(#list of items), "Delete", "Global") type text(<about me textarea>, $text from list(%list of items,

Bump. Anybody having the same issue or a way to get past it?

That makes sense but it's still not working for me. I couldn't post for some reason yesterday but I was able to edit my other post (no idea why) so I pasted in the code that I was working with. Something else must be wrong still, I'm just not sure what it is.

I know this is a very old post but I'm trying to replicate this in ubot version 4 and it's not working for me. I need to be able to go through a list, find an item, and have the bot tell me what position the found item is at. The example bot here works great in ubot version 3 but I can't get it to work in version 4. For some reason I can not reply to this thread (getting an error meassage) but I can edit my previous post??? Anyway, @ JohnB, yes that makes sense but I'm still doing something wrong and I'm not sure what exactly. For testing I was just using a list of the alphabet from a to

I made a bot that scrapes google urls and I like to change settings to turn off google instant and show 100 results per page. It was working fine before but now when I click the save preferences button I'm getting an error message. You can not save preferences unless you allow 3rd party cookies and I'm getting a message that says "your cookies seem to be disabled".

I have subscribed to this thread so hopefully you'll post a message here when it's ready. Or you could send me a PM. Thanks.

I would like to know when this bot is ready. I'd buy it for $5. :-)

Anymore news about the progress of version 4. What features, when's it coming out etc. etc. ??? I can't wait.

Another site that had a small issue was multiply.com. When I was signing up some survey offer poped up and I couldn't close it or click on "no thanks" - I had to pause the bot, do it manually and then resume the bot. I'm looking forward to June too. :-)

Trying to make sites at weebly, the drag and drop is something I couldn't figure out. Webs.com is the same way, I can't figure out how to add content to their site. As I work my way through this bot I can make more detailed notes of exactly what's going on. Right now my bot is just semi-automated, if I can't figure out how to automate something I use a javascript pop up alert to tell me what needs to be done manually before I resume the bot.

I'm anxiously awaiting V4. I've been working on a web 2.0 bot and I've had problems with a number of pages. Not being able to fill certain fields or click certain buttons. If V4 really can speed things up and make creating bots rediculously easy I will be very VERY happy :-) Now all I can do is sit here and salivate until June (hopefully).

Very nice. I just used that bit of code in one of my bots. Thanks.

I upgraded to the pro version too and my first compiled bot worked fine. But then a new stable release of ubot came out and after updating to the newest version my compiled bots are showing the same error. Hopefully we'll get another update soon.

I know this is an old post but thank you guys. This was both the question I had and the answer I was looking for. Gotta love the search function, I always use the search function before asking a question in the forum.

I like this idea and I would keep an eye on this thread if people posted the source code for bots or even parts of bots.

Jon Leger is coming out with a keyword tool in a couple of days that will scrape keywords from the suggestions the big three search engines give. I have no idea what the cost will be yet and I would also be interested in learning if ubot is capable of scraping that data.

I'm trying to make my own proxy scraper for a project I'm working on and I can't get it to work. Even though Aaron has a tutorial for scraping that proxy site I still can't get it to work. Something, somewhere has changed. How the hell do you scrape proxies from this site? http://www.ip-adress.com/proxy_list/?k=time&d=desc

I'm bumping this thread because I would love to know how to make a serp rank checker with ubot as well. The firefox plugin is not working for me. It is only showing yahoo results. I would love to have my own, reliable rank checker. So many of the free ones either don't work or only tell you what page your site ranks on and not exactly which position. Page one is great but there is a big difference between being number 1 and being number 10. Has anyone done this with ubot? Thanks.

I discovered a stupid mistake I made on the webnewswire site and it works now. I'll still have to try the bravenet site but that will have to wait.

I'm trying to sign up here: http://www.webnewswire.com/user/register I can't get the username filled in with a UI variable. I can get it filled in with a random username using the user name constant but I want to be able to fill it in with the UI variable.
