Yea, regex is powerful stuff. In my offline world, i use regex to find illegal activity via computer forensics which allows me to find credit cards numbers, phone numbers, etc located on hard drive media. Still wrapping my head around where to use it in my bots. Make no mistake though, regex may be tough, but it's invaluable to know once you figure out what you want to do with it.

I bet ya it's the decaptcher service..their services could be overloaded.

You attempting to make an email verifier with ubot? Hmm..pm me if you want to brainstorm on logic, or we can do it here

Sem, It's a program that I had built for me. It uses certain logic to crawl through an smtp pop3 mailbox and discern which links to click and which ones to avoid.

Ok, i believe the zoom forward effect is kicking in because of the slow response time by the webpage that it's working on. For some pages i put a delay of 20 seconds in there to just make sure. Now, on to another topic- let's brainstorm on what we can do with scraped data from Google Trends..

Jeff, I can answer this: When you create your bot, you can include a setup screen or ui that includes the fields to allow the user to input their decaptcher settings. So that when the bot is run, those settings will be used. It's actually pretty sweet

Ya know what's funny, i probably have roughly 15 different bots in all stages of development (ubot a.d.d? lol) and i've come across something so stupidly simple, i feel dumb. can someone post up a quick workflow for scraping only the urls of a google search. Dumb, so dumb...

Where in your script did you put the delay in order to make it work?

Try replacing your decaptcher node code and rerunning. Sometimes it works..

underground..forum? Oh..what?

Also, has anyone run into a problem with their bots moving in overdrive (so to speak?) when navigating between a bunch of sites and filling in fields? Sometimes it skips whole sections of nodes where i'm submitting info to fields. I think i'm going to troubleshoot that by putting in a bunch of delay() statements after each submission...

The problem with a bot email maker is the ability to deal with the sms verification. As of right now, the suppliers of gmail accounts that i've talked to are getting around it by clearing flash cookies on their computers. Until ubot has that implemented into it's toolbox, we're still at the captcha stage with email creation

Interesting...what does a personal tracking script do? So far I've seen people talk about bots to do the following: Scraper Bots: yellow pages, google adwords, etc Automated Account Production Bots: web 2.0, article directories, digg, etc Automatic Posters: wordpress (and maybe joomla..one more that I'm working on) Submitters: profile submitters Any others you guys are tossing around?

Well, this thread isn't really about preselling anyone on bots i'm making that MAY come at a later time, but for now I just figured anyone who has purchased ubot was of like mind to create (whether by duplication of other products or something completely new altogether). Account making is rather easy. Automating captcha entering is easy too..but getting those services to work is a pain the ass half of the time. I've got logic now that tries 3 times to create an account with captcha solving, and if that fails, it manually lets the person go ahead and enter in the captcha. The next bot i'm f

Since I can lay claim to being one of the first adopters of this great tool, i'd like to have an open discussion on bot development, work flow, suggestions and brainstorming. Most of us here are automating typical internet marketing/seo/link building exercises. But my discussion goes a little deeper than that. What sort of bot(s) are you building? Obviously you don't have to share code if you don't want to, but ideas to go around are always great. So to start, this is what i've been working on..and it's been one big PAIN in the ass But it's fun because it's a challenge. I've got 3 prime bo
