  1. I would really like to see the branding completely finished, more importantly remove all traces of Ubot from the system for Dev users. This means renaming the processes from ubotbrowser.exe to something like browser.exe or even <filename>.exe. Also all the storage locations that store in program files for Ubot Studio should be removed. These changes should be really trivial and would go a long way to make us dev users happy.

     

    The other thing I really have been waiting for a long time for and would really make the product much more useful is full skinning. I know Eddie said this is on the table, but can we make this happen? I for one would like to toggle address bar/browser and be able to turn off the stop/run/pause bar completely and use UI HTML area to control the start/stop via HTML buttons.

     

    Being able to fully skin the interface would really make the difference to make the final product look polished (depending on how much work you spend on the HTML interface) and would result in a much more marketable product to our users.

     

    Even better, I had an idea to take this even further. Allow us to make an entire app UI HTML Panel & turn off the browser & address bar and call them as we please! So for example we would have a special markup that would allow us to drop a browser window in. Something like <browser height=1000 width= 500 vscroll=true hscroll=false adressbar=false> that we can put into our layout. Remove the limitation that you have UI HTML Panel up top and fixed browser/address bar below. Allow us to lay out the interface anyway we please. This would allow us to be so much more creative with our UI and break the mold of "another ubot" syndrome and offer a real value to Dev users that paid so much more and went through the hazing phase.

     

    I also had a few other suggestions a long time ago that would fit into this category. For example adding Help menu items for "help file" that allows us to link to a local PDF or hyperlink to a webpage. Allow us to put a link for "Support" or Help where we could link to an email address or support page. Basically just give us an option to add a new menu item that can be "email address, website, or local file location". Ideally it would be nice that we can set the menu as well as the item. So we can create a new menu outside of Help.

     

    These features dramatically will increase our bottom line and allow us to do more with Ubot and create a much more marketable product.

  2. these user agents are very unreliable when using with youtube account maker, any ideas where i can get a good list?

     

    How so? It worked fine for me, but I haven't tested it with the YouTube agent.

    I just created a big list off recent versions a while ago. I don't use it that often.

  3. PBB should have different section in our Toolbox. Right now our PBB commands sits in the same place with our current custom commands. It will be so confusing if we have add lots of custom commands in there. it will be hard to distinguish what is the command that you just created for that bot and what is not.

     

    I agree as well, I posted this in my review of it as well. Now with them all open by default, it is just confusing and visually overwhelming.

  4. What I do is to test them first, click manage in the proxy section bottom left...

     

    Let it finish testing and only keep the google tested proxies from the filter drop down.

     

    I use proxy goblin which lets you test against a judge, tbh I think sb is better but I do both and havnt had problem. Proxy goblin delivers fresh proxies to a file on my desktop every 30 min. On avg get about 60 to work with after scrubbing them through SB..

     

    PG is great in theory but in practice it fails to properly test proxies and returns a small subset of usable proxies.

  5. Hi,

    I'm in urge of completing my project with Ubot. Bot getting closed Automatically.. Need solution for the Memory leakage problem. I have tried external memory clean software.. but no use...

     

    Can anyone Give me a GOOD Solution???

    going to need to wait for a release that fixes it. Next version should help but I hear it isn't completely fixed.

  6. I wrote one to scrape the keywords and pagination through and scrape the rest up to the 800. It was kind of a pain as there are functions you really need but are not in ubot like add table to table and so on but it is doable.

     

    I thought about using the download csv but figured this was better.

  7. Seth, you, me and everyone in this room knows Ubot is useless without the updates. Especially during the brutal three months after 4.0 launched.

     

    By not having them clearly visible prior to the checkout process you are hiding them. I have a gut feeling this was done on purpose to some extent to increase sales. Sooner or later the customer will figure it out and if they do after the fact and feel like it was hidden they will be pissed.

     

    I also feel not everyone wants or needs the bot source. That should be a separate subscription rather than hitting everyone up for the full $29. You claim updates are a separate product but bundle in something for a rather significant cost (in fact many times more than the actual license) that many won't likely even use. For those who have the basic subscription, you are asking them to pay more than the license price every year. It also should scale with license rather than hit everyone the same.

     

    I remember when I purchased my license the monthly fee was quite hidden on the site. Although I knew there were support renewals, it was tough to find.

     

    In the software industry, 10%-20% is typically the max you can expect to pay for support and maintenance. Except when services are provided. When it comes to $29/m I will bet the majority would opt out of the bot source.

     

    I respect you are a small company and it doesn't affect me all the much as I purchased a license a long time ago. As a business owner and frequent customer, I have my own opinion based on experience.

     

    Offering a yearly discounted option (typically two months free), scaling the pricing based on license type, removing bot source from base license and reducing maintenance to a minimum price would do a lot to make it more reasonable. I also believe pro users monthly cost should be less than dev users.

     

    There are a few other ways you could generate considerably more revenue than raising the on going maintenance so high.

     

    Remember, a good part of your on going costs I suspect is your compiling servers. The fact is these are in place for your benefit not ours, they offer you copy protection but offer no value to the end user.

     

    As I said, it doesn't affect me in one bit but it is something to think about.

  8. I am trying to get a bot to run a JavaScript that contains some statements and calls to other JS functions. After that it should return a variable that will be used by Ubot.

     

    However, I seem to be completely out in the blue on this one (too ).

     

    Does anyone have any experiences with this? Is it possible to return values with the "run javascript" command? Do the values that are set during Run JavaScript, "die" after the execution has finished and the command node is exited, so that they can't be accessed later on in the bot?

     

     

    I am grateful for any input, I am stuck right now. Just thinking in other ways might even get me on track again.

     

     

    By the way, this is the code:

     

    
    
    var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
    client.open("GET", "{#urlToCheck}", true);
    client.send();
    client.onreadystatechange = function() {
     if(this.readyState == 2) {
       print(this.getAllResponseHeaders());
     }
    }
    
    var test = this.getAllResponseHeaders()
    
    

     

     

    This code snippet should get the header of the response object. It is supposed to be supported by Chromium which I believe is what UB4 uses.

    No matter the script, my question is more on a general level of javaScript.

     

    I think they die and the only way to return is using $eval but not 100% sure. Be interested in hearing Eddies take.

  9. These two issues go together, and it is easier explained if I put them in one post.

     

    The first thing I would like to see is a "on load" event, this will allow you to run code while a bot is started but before the run command is hit. This serves a few purposes, but most important my other request.

     

    It would be a big help to have some sort of native functionality to assist with configuration files. For example, I want to store a username & password, the way I typically do it is have a textbox for each under Settings... and the first thing the bot does is loads the config.txt file into a list and assigns it to those text boxes. There is also a "save settings" button that will write out a configuration file. So the first time the bot is run, they enter the settings and hit "save". From then on, the settings are loaded automatically when the bot is run.

     

    But these fields are blank when the bot is initially loaded, and will fill in when the bot is run. This is extremely sloppy, as it is very confusing seeing blanked out fields that get loaded when you "start" the bot. The other option is having a "load settings" button, just to display them. Again sloppy.

     

    What would be ideal, is some system supplied support that allows us to write options to it and it saves it out, then these get loaded upon open. Anything, something that would make writing out persistent settings more manageable. The other option is to just use the config file directly, but you want to make it easier for end users and they should be able to edit settings from within the GUI environment and not be forced to only use a text file to edit these things. More so if you want to store the configuration data encrypted, you can't allow an option to edit the file directly as they can't write it out encrypted.

     

    I'd love to see an onLoad event, but I would also would like to see some function that assists in this very common task that is a pain in the butt every time you need to do it. You only have two options, save the configuration as a list or as a table. Unless you really put a lot of time into the logic and create real complex configuration file, then you spend a lot of time on the write out and read in logic. I'd like a way to create variables that can be serialized easily, in a group and something other than just writing out a list or table object. That's good for simple and few settings, but nothing more than that.

  10. I need Professional Bot Programmer, to make all kind of search engine submission bots like article, directory, RSS, forums, classifieds, social bookmarking, press release,Blog Comments, Search Engine indexing, Video submissions, wiki pages submissions;

     

    Note:- I want to run this submission bot through my web server, it is basically a membership site, where members can create their campaign and run the submission software.

     

    I wouldn't recommend ubot for that but rather some server side code.

  11. This isn't the most practical. But here is an idea for logging.

    Instead of writing to one big file from an ever growing list.

    You can create a folder structure that your bot uses to dump single status files.

    For example one folder named failed and another folder named success.

    As you process your list or do anything else you want to log, you can then save the results into the success or failed folders. But instead of writing anything into the file, you can just name the file the data or status you want to log or if the result does not lend itself to this, write the line into the file. You can use underscores for spaces in long results then strip them later.

    This will require a bit more processing at the end but wont slow the bot down during the main process.

    You can insert the underscores and the save to file command inside a thread. You can use the ext as a incremental number in case of duplicates. Once your done just read in the contents of the folders back into lists and save and do to them as you wish.

     

    Yeah that is much to much. I have a few ways around it but I really just want a direct low impact way.

  12. I'm been looking around for the append command. And there isn't one? :o

     

    This is something fundamental that needs to be there.

     

    No, you have to load the old file, append it in memory, and save it out.

    Which is fine for small files, but when using it to log stuff it adds unnecessary complexity and overhead. Large files it just slows it down too much.

    Been asking for this for a while myself as well. Really would love to see it and it isn't complex.
