Same deal here. I've been using proxy bonanza and I thought it was just me using them wrong. Setting IE internally to the proxy works - but a pain in the ass. I guess I'll take a whack at using proxifier. Kenan Thompson (SNL): What's up with that? What's up with that?

I'm pretty sure you've got to loop it. Load the first one from your list. Strip it. Save it to another list. Loop. (list total amount) Save to file. You've got to apply it one line at a time. You don't feed it a huge list and it change/replaces everything like in a text doc.

Well that sounds cool - I've taken at whack at making an auto approve bot for the yahoo mobile page. What would you want for it? Never played around with pop or imap stuff, can you offer any sort of help doc's on what is happening when you run it?

I got a bot running to do auto posting with Posteous. (once logged in) What part was tripping you up?

Ya know, on the other end of the spectrum I think a free 'n simple version of Ubot would do wonders for sales. (sorta like iMacros) Something that could build a bookmark or something basic. Anyone who "get it" would realize how much better Ubot is than iMacros. The price for Ubot is kind of high for the "what the hell crowd". Once you've done something with Ubot, you realize how powerful it is and the price is justified.

Well c'mon...what's a Pro License? :-)

re: Farmville Nope. Never played it. In fact, anyone who sends me f**king updates about their Farmville game on my wall will get an extremely snarky comment back. I don't send out updates about my latest Plants vs Zombies achievements. I hope there's more to Facebook marketing than that. :-)

If you felt like throwing me (us) a bone re: Facebook, please do. What chaya been up to? I haven't cracked the Facebook nut yet with automation. Not sure what I should be doing on there to make money. (other than collecting fans and spamming them to death)

Ah...so YOU'RE the guy who keeps buying all those "Get rich quick by making money on the Internet" ebooks. (Then never actually does anything with them) :-) [You're busting our balls right? You've got 323 posts to your name and have a :-) in there.]

Wow. That's a crappy list. THIS is more like a list: 2500 WPMU blogs.txt I've already started on this one. Background info: WPMU (Word Press Multi-User) blogs are created by individuals who want to allow others to create their own blog on their website. A lot of universities have this set up for their students. Typically you have to have an .edu account to join. Anyone else who is doing this is just asking to have their creation spammed to death. (unless your paying attention) One way to prevent this is to use a captcha AND a math problem for the sign up process. No easy Ubot fix there.

I guess I gotta wait until Kosovo goes independent and gets the .ks domain: bi.ks! Woo hoo! 4 letters! Thanks for the heads up on the goo.gl - used it already.

Can you replace BOTH <B> and </B> at the same time? Or do you have to do two passes at it? I don't have that many hairs left (on my head) at this point. :-)

OK, so this is something that you couldn't have just guessed at by merely looking at the source code. It required some research. So if this box were a TinyMCE, what would the most likely solution have been? Same .load() function? I still think we should have a forum section called "Tricky Boxes and Buttons". Just has fabulous examples like this.

I created a ubot that scrapes keywords out of the latest Google keyword tool. Sometimes a scraped word will be in bold and I want to get rid of the <B> and </B> tags with one javascript .replace expression. Right now I'm doing it with two: http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9205/strip.png It works, but how do I simplify it so I have the eval only running once. I'm sure you can do it, I just don't know the syntax to combine two choices. Something like this? '{1}'.replace(/<B>+<.B>/, '');

Good goin' Meter! OK, so hold on. Where/how did you find "entryBody"? I'm looking at the source code (in Firefox) for the page and I can't even find the word "entry" anywhere on it. Is the javascript on a different frame or something? What was the method you used to find "entryBody"? I notice that your Javascript is entryBody.load(); - does this exist anywhere on the page, or do did you find entryBody and add the Javascript .load(); after it?

Wow. I forgot about this post. (I just moved on) This one is still kickin' everones butt? (I don't feel so bad now) :-) Somebody should make a Ubot wiki page or something that give examples (like this one) on what one should look for when dealing with TinyMCE boxes. If I had 5 working different examples, I'm sure I would have a better idea what to look for.

I've lost about an hour on this one a couple of months ago. So why DO you need to have the "create account" thingy in there? Wouldn't it be assumed if I choose $password, I always want a random password? Or is it because the "create account" thingy is where I choose the gender first? Why can't we have a prefs menu choice where it's always male or female....or random between the two? Seems like an extra step. And did that $email thing get updated? It was only using one domain. (which was a big footprint for Ubot)

I've scoured Google and other forums plenty of times for getting indexed quickly. The fastest indexing method I've found is putting a link in an Ezinearticles page. As long as you have the fast approve account, Google finds it lickety split. Other methods are submitting to Digg, Yahoo Buzz or Craigslist. Not sure who fast regular bookmarking will do anything. I always rely on submitting to RSS feeds as my fallback solution. Why? What other (good) methods are out there?

OK, now I got stuck with a webs.com thing. I'm trying to post to a blog associated with a webs.com account. I'm assuming this is a tinyMCE box: http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5352/websx.png Should be the simplest God damn thing, right? I've gone over all the tinyMCE tutorials and I'm getting no where. I've tried: Change iFrame Body: Obviously this is the first thing one should try. Nope. I've tried #'s 0-5. Noticed on the source code that there is only one iFrame on the page and it's: <iframe id="documentarea" src="/manageapp/blog/" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight=

Another easy and fast email service is http://www.mailinator.com/ and http://www.yopmail.com/. Lots of sites are getting wise to these email servers. What usually works is using the alternate domains that forward the email to them. (suremail.info)

3 hours of digging for single problem? That sounds right on par with me. I like to put up a desktop background of a giant middle finger. Keeps me motivated during the struggling. ;-)

I started building something like this. I was hoping to turn this into a group project somewhere. Start with the same template and everyone adds a few bookmarking sites to the project. The next question is: is it worth it to have a bot churning out bookmarks 24/7? I'm not seeing that much love from Google on my webmaster tools from bookmarking sites. Aaron Nimocks already did a tutorial on doing an auto registration bot via Yahoo's mobile email. That's done. I've already created Ubot scripts for about 8 of these sites already.

Bhaynet - you tellin' me you didn't try DRAGGING the blue circle labeled "SUB" the 3 inches into the brown box? How many tutorials do you have to watch to figure that out? EVERYTHING can be dragged from the toolbox menu in the new version. I've certainly asked a bunch of dumb, obvious questions in this forum that only required a simple answer, but c'mon - I'm not hammering on the documentation. I kind of like the fact that you can't be moron to use Ubot. If Seth made Ubot completely idiot proof then we're all doomed. Look what happened to mp3 trading after Napster came out. I don't think it'

Sooo....have you taken that second look yet? :-) Just was lookin' for a heads up on the status of this issue. Built 3 bots that all crash (after a while) that use $spin with my large-ish data.

Oh God damn it. No, no...wait - I want to do it the HARD way! Isn't there a Javascript expression that can do this? :-P Thanks.
