Finally! UBot Studio 3.3 Beta is here!

After weeks of development, UBot 3.3 is finally ready. This version completely changes the workflow of UBot Studio in a way that makes it many times faster and more efficient.

Here are some videos that provide a quick overview of the new version

A few things I forgot to mention in the video:

  • parameters now have labels
  • the script window is animated smoothly
  • if you are dragging something to the edge of the window, it will scroll automatically
  • send keys chosen field now does capital letters correctly
  • a ton of other little changes here and there

If you signed up to receive this limited beta release, then I will contact you shortly with instructions on how to download it.

3.15 – The New Update System

We appreciate everyone’s patience with the updates to UBot. We’ve now implemented a more intelligent system, and once you update to this latest version, all subsequent versions will use the new system. A few things to point out here:

First of all, you will now have the choice of whether or not you want to update. There is a possibility of mandatory update, for instance if there are major security concerns, but 99% of the time, the updates will be entirely voluntary.

When you see an update prompt, it will now give you a message about what is in the new update. This gives you the opportunity to look through exactly what features have changed, to let you make a more qualified decision.

There are now 3 types of updates: STABLE, BETA, and MANDATORY. As I stated previously, the mandatory updates will be used sparingly, and only when there is a major security concern or a fundamental system change. A beta release will be made any time we add or change a feature. While we always test things before releasing them, there are many contexts in which UBot is used and sometimes bugs can slip through the cracks. Beta releases will give our power users a chance to try new features and find bugs while casual users can simply wait for the stable releases. A stable release is, as it sounds, a release that has been tested and (hopefully) has no bugs in any new or changed features.

We hope that this change will take some of the edge off of the frequent releases, while still allowing us to provide an ever-evolving platform for growing the power of UBot. Let us know your opinion!

3.14 – timeouts on wait commands

this one was added purely at the requests of a number of users. from now on, when you use a wait finish or wait for command, you’ll have a timeout option, which will allow you to force the script to continue if the command hangs for too long. you will specify the timeout in seconds.

enjoy!

Would You Buy UBot Studio Again?

Hey Guys — as I was packing off my bags for CeBIT Germany, I got this email with a link to a pretty interesting thread someone started on a Forum titled “Would You Buy UBot Again?”

Obviously this thread aroused my curiosity and on clicking it I was very pleased to find what jesdon2 had posted there.

I bought the program a few days ago and absolutely love it! I have outsourced the creation of several programs in the past and had a whole list of others that I wanted done.

I also outsource a lot of seo work and have already managed to cut down on my costs by creating a bot that did a few of general seo tasks for me on the fly. Now, I am working on a backlink indexing program to speed up the indexing process for incoming backlinks.

I do not know anything about programming, but have managed to create several new bots just in the last few days of owning this. For instance, one bot I am working on takes a list of backlinks, goes to the page and grabs the meta data, then loads the url in page2rss and converts the page to rss, grabs the new rss feed and blasts it to several rss directories, then pings the original url and then uses that meta data to make a post to a ping.fm account which sends it to several social bookmarking sites etc.

I hope to also add a function that would allow the bot to scrape a random article from ezinearticles and post it to a wordpress/blogger blog with the backlink in the article, thus in turn pinging the newly posted article and getting the backlink both “juice” and faster indexing.

Needless to say, I would buy it again. Its my new favorite toy and well worth the price tag. The reality is that they could probably get the $200 monthly instead of one time, thank god they don’t though.

Thanks for the nice words mate. =)

As for the bot for posting articles from ezinearticles to wordpress, there is already one which Aaron made and released. Check it out on the forums — download the source code and modify it as per your requirements. Only with UBot Studio!

3.124 – In Sub Window

The latest ubot update brings with it a wonderful new command: “in sub window”. You can find it under the flow menu. It is a container command, and what makes it special, is that any commands you put inside it will run inside a different window with a different webbrowser than your main ubot webbrowser. As I pointed out in my last blog post, this opens us up to the opportunity to create our own captcha service scripts. It also enables us to do many other things – pretty much anything you need to do but that you don’t want to leave the current page for.

This update also contains some upgrades to the autosave system.
