  1. Ive actually got a pop3 and imap script developed which will verify all emails - works with aol - gmx - yahoo and gmail

     

    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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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. :-)

  4. 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.

     

    First off, many on the above fail during the sign up process, they never send a confirmation email. Those need to be filtered out. Then you've got to create a pile for the ones that have a math problem captcha. It usually means the "webmaster" gives a crap about their creation and is trying to prevent spam accounts.

     

    I've already created a WP auto poster that uploads a folder of pre-spun data to a WP blog. That part's done. Once you sort everything, it's just a basic captcha/math problem solve AND confirming the email. There's tutorials for doing that around.

  5. 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.

  6. 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:

    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>/, '');

  7. 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?

  8. 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.

  9. Use the Create Account or Build Account command to create random account info.

     

    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)

  10. 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?

  11. 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="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" style="width:100%;"></iframe>

     

    Interesting that I haven't been able to choose id="documentarea" within Ubot.

     

    Tried turning off tinyMCE with: tinyMCE.execCommand('mceToggleEditor',false,'mceContentBody');

     

    I'm not even sure what's supposed to happen when you do that. There isn't a popup window for what I'm trying to do, I'm assuming this is supposed to prevent this from happening.

     

    Anyhoo - Here's a login bot to get someone to the place I'm referring to: Webs DEMO.ubot

  12. I've just found the answer after 3 hours of digging

     

    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. ;-)

  13. 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.

  14. 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's gonna happen with Ubot though - there's just too many variables to the Internet. The hard part is not learning the techniques of programming Ubot, but all the exceptions to the rule.

  15. We might take a second look at the algorithm for the Spin constant.

     

    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.
