| new problems with automation | |
| 2009-06-04 14:12 | des43t | After months of having automatic visits running flawlessly, about 1-2 weeks ago I began having problems. Unfortunately my visit counts have dropped significantly since then because of it.
The first thing that happened was that the site was "forgetting" me -- upon re-opening firefox, I was no longer logged in. So I changed my opening URL to include the username and password, with "?loc=supermode". Most of the time that works, but sometimes I'll look at the screen and see that's it has gone instead to the "Quickstart" page, and obviously the exchange is no longer running. So then I have to manually restart the exchange, and I've lost hours of visits. Has anyone else been having troubles like this? Anyone have ideas for me? |
| 2009-06-04 21:58 | TinaX | not with automation at all but it logs me out when the site refreshes after 30 Mins. or when i change IP manually and restart supermode |
| 2009-06-05 04:49 | KRA92 | The last days i'm using also Automation with Scripts and it runs really good.
Maybe you try with making a new Firefox Profile and let it run with the new profile. May it helps |
| 2009-06-07 23:25 | zgeek | Des, I have experienced the same random logging out by the site. I would hazard a guess it is some timing issue in the code - ok a wild guess ;-) Kra Des uses scripts. It is a major pain. I did use a profile, may have to try it as per Kra's idea. |
| 2009-06-09 14:09 | KRA92 | i think making a new profile would really help.
I have 2 profiles on my computer. 1 for everything and a second one just for the Utopia Boost's when i try to make clicks with profile 1, i always have first to log me in with the password and then i get a good speed, if not i just have non donator speed when i make the clicks with profile 2, i never have problems. because of that, however the script is, i think it must be the problem with the profiles ;-) |
| 2009-06-10 16:47 | TinaX | well i run an extra profile for Utopia only and had the same problems here.
Did a deep cleaning (cookies etc..) last week and till now everything seems to be OK...it didn't log me out till yet. Dunno if it helps but here it did |
| 2009-06-11 21:07 | des43t | I have made another new profile and I am still having the same problems. Any other ideas?
Uto, would it be possible for you to implement a work-around for me? Can you have the "quickstart" page redirect to running supermode after 5-10 minutes or so? I hate losing hours of visits and otherwise I think I'm going to have to limit running the exchange to times when I can monitor (only a couple of hours per day). |
| 2009-06-11 23:12 | utopia.lv | Ok, Des. I'll try to come up with a solution.
I went though code a couple of times and could not find anything wrong with it. So workaround must be the best solution at current situation :). |
| 2009-06-12 08:38 | hellowien | Hy Des, utopia and all others!
I did a short test-run, but there aren't any failures occuring at my side. At first, I would recommend to use a own profile for auto-exchange. There should be somewhere an entry in the forum how to create one. Log in with 'extended' command defined in ip.bat can help a lot to avoid problems on startup of the exchange. Now let us see, what is possible to check if there is any unexpected misbehavior of the site. I think, every duration of running for more than 10 mins in supermode is an indicator for problems with the exchange ... (depending on supermode x-factor). So the only posssibility is, to check, how long the site is open or to limit the time, how long it should be open at max. I found the solution in a small batch, that starts every time with a new round of the exchange and recalls ip.bat after 10 mins. Timecounting in this batch is realized with the ping localhost command, enter your own wanted duration (mins. x 60). If there is any misbehavior of the exchange, the ip.bat is started new, running check.bat is closed and opened again for another run. I included a 'run-once'-code in my batch, so you can use it 'as is', - the check.bat will be created by ip.bat! All files are located in C:/ so you have to change the code a little bit for your purposes, if you use another directory. Here is the code for ip.bat: ::runonce - create check.bat if not exist check.bat (goto create) else goto kill :create echo @echo off>>check.bat echo title check>>check.bat echo ping localhost -n 600 >NUL>>check.bat echo start c:/ip.bat>>check.bat :kill taskkill /fi "Windowtitle eq check" taskkill /f /im firefox.exe ### Here your way of IP-change ### START firefox.exe -p Supermode -no-remote -url "http://utopia.lv/exchange/profile.php?w=special&name=xxxxxx&pass=xxxxxx&profile=load&loc=supermode" START /min c:/check.bat exit I hope this can help you a little bit to continue your visits unmonitored, Des. Best regards to all my loyal friends, HW |
| 2009-06-12 11:20 | utopia.lv | Excellent solution! |
| 2009-06-13 18:31 | des43t | I appreciate your time to help with the problem, HW. It's going to be quite some time before I will have the free time to experiment with my code, though, so a script solution is not going to help me in the short term. I wish I knew what caused the problem to start in the first place, since it started suddenly and nothing was changed on my side. Anyway, my visits here on the exchange will just have to be lower until I find time to address it, probably in July. |
| 2009-06-22 17:51 | tetrafeld | I also have the problem, that Utopia Exchange does no longer change the IP automatically, as it did before. Instead I receive the message on the screen "IP not changed yet", and Utopia Exchange stops working. I created a new profile in Firefox, I reinstalled all components and I checked all the settings in Firefox, Utopia and Supermode, but there was no help. I really would like to know the reason of this failure. Uto, could you imagine that there is any incompatibility between Utopia Exchange and an actual update of Firefox? However, I would not try to run my Minicity account with the assistance of different new scripts or files, but use the handy standard version of the programs. Therefore I still hope, that anybody will find a way to fix that bug. |

Message "IP not changed yet" is displayed when your IP address failed to change. Please verify that correct address to the script is written in Supermode options (English Firefox -> Tools -> Add-ons -> Supermode...-> Options) If you run the automation script manually does IP address change? |
| 2009-06-22 18:36 | tetrafeld | The address of the script file (i.e. c:\users\.....\reconnect.bat) was entered into Supermode options on the right place and in the correct way. When I run the script manually by starting from a special icon on the screen or from a command prompt, it has always been executed correctly and the IP has been changed. Do you have any idea? |
| 2009-06-22 20:04 | hellowien | ... When I run the script manually by starting from a special icon on the screen or from a command prompt, it has always been executed correctly ...
Try to hold the link to the executable file as short as possible, e.g. c:\ip.bat so you can avoid faults. This icon seems to be a link, so copy it to e.g. c:\reconnect and write c:\reconnect.lnk in the supermode extension. Maybe this is a solution, as some batch-files make problems if they are started with their path, but run perfect if you start them over a link (why ever, it occured to me sometimes). I hope this is a possible solution. A FF-update can't be the cause, as I use 3.5 RC2 for testing purposes at the moment and utopia runs without any errors ... |
| 2009-06-22 21:36 | tetrafeld | => Hellowien, believe it or not, your solution seems to fit the problem. I copied the link to the root and....lo and behold! Thank you for your hint. Maybee some more people got the same problem and can benefit from your advice. |
