Calling all Beta Testers!

Mon, 18 Mar 2013 00:00:00 UTC

webDOM 4 first beta build is scheduled for release March 31st. I just want to take a moment and thank those of you who've given ideas or beta tested for us in the past. Anyone who wants to be part of the beta test and has already worked with us, please contact Nathaniel Gibson by e-mail within the next two weeks with the subject line: BETA TESTER. Testers will be expected to give quality specific feedback on webDOM.

The beta release does not mean that wd4 will be released publicly. It will be a private beta release. Public betas will be starting shortly after, and we expect to have a full stable release out by sometime in Q2 of this year or beginning of Q3.

For everyone else not interested in beta testing, hang in there :) We should have some videos released in a week.

Happy DOMinating!

The Scoop for February

Fri, 01 Feb 2013 00:00:00 UTC

That being said, we are going to start making a list of those who would like to beta test. If you are interested in being on that list, please contact us through skype or email.

Speaking of beta testing, if there are any problems with any plugins, feel free to drop us a line on skype at: nathaniel.gibson

We'll keep you informed as to progress with our newest addition to the wd lineup

Happy DOMinating!

webDOM 4 and the Lifetime License Special Offer!

Sat, 15 Dec 2012 00:00:00 UTC

So, it's been awhile since the last update everyone, and that special time of year is almost here. We over here at webDOMbot.com have been focusing on building a new version of webDOMinator that will work on all operating systems and use any browser (No more dealing with IE9/10 issues!)

Lifetime Licenses as many of you know, the lifetime license offer only comes a couple times a year. This year, between December 25th and December 31st, we will be giving a Lifetime license subscription to anyone for the price of just one year!

More about webDOM 4: webDOMinator 4.0 will include the following features:

Portability to Mac OS and Linux OSes
Full multi-threading
webDOM Connect: ability to connect multiple instances of webDOM to a webDOM server and control all clients in task groups
All the features of webDOM 3 and full backwards compatibility
Shared Lists: The entire list system and table system is being replaced by a central database. This means that multiple webDOMs can work on the same list without error
New and improved user interfaces
Improved automation and auto-gathering including multi-actions and scroll based gathering

This is just part of what's coming up. We will need some beta testers this January / February to help test out the new webDOM. More updates to come.

Important: Uninstall Internet Explorer 9

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:00:00 UTC

Hello everyone. It is becoming more and more of an issue with webDOM users who are using webDOM on Windows 7. Internet Explorer 9 is pretty buggy and is causing webDOM to not function properly. If you are using Windows XP, this post does not apply to you. If you are using Windows 7 however and you've noticed that webDOM is not doing what it's supposed to do, maybe not even logging in, you might be seeing the ie9 effect. The solution. Uninstall ie9. You may actually never use it as a browser, but in most windows 7 machines, it's already installed as a windows update. To do this, follow the instructions below.[ol][li]Click the Start button in Windows[/li][li]Click on the Control Panel to open the Control Panel[/li][li]Click "Uninstall a Program"[/li][li]On the left side column of the uninstall a program window, click the link that says "View installed updates"[/li][li]When the list of windows updates finishes populating the list of updates, scroll down until you see "Internet Explorer 9", then click on it to select it[/li][li]Click the Uninstall button that appears near the top of the window[/li][/ol] After uninstalling ie9, it will automatically revert your copy of windows back to ie8. It might take a reset of your computer: do so. Upon restart, you will notice when you open webDOM again that all of the functionality is back to normal. We are currently working on a solution to this issue, and have tried the idea of integrating other browsers. This long term solution will take some time on our side, so if you need proper functionality of webDOM, apply the above fix and you will no longer have these problems. Note: you may want to turn off windows updates as to avoid getting IE9 reinstalled on your computer without your knowledge.

Gearing up!

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 00:00:00 UTC

Hello webDOMmers. Let's first congratulate everyone who participated in the april lifetime license giveaway. We know all of you will get your money's worth out of webDOM and I thank you personally for your contribution to this software. Secondly, let's take a look at some of the features that are coming in webDOM 3.5! [ul][li]CAPTCHA Failover - This is something that's been sorely needed for awhile and will allow for up to three different types of solvers to act as a failover for the previous solver if that solver is to fail. This should ensure that whatever captcha in the way is solved.[/li][li]Auto-Scrolling - Within the past year, since Twitter started using it, every social network has started jumping on the endless page bandwagon. Thus we have decided to make another auto-gather type for auto-scrolling to manage this type of page behaviour[/li][li]Many small bug fixes in the core scripting engine, making webDOM faster and more reliable in the end[/li][/ul] If anyone has any extra requests for webDOM 3.5, let us know as we are already geared up and rolling on these additions. As always, Happy DOMinating!

Important Update Coming Soon

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:00:00 UTC

We are going to be releasing a public update of the latest beta builds on the fifth of March. The build includes some great bug fixes. Included in the bug fixes will be the quit script fix. The quit script itself is a work-around to a memory leak on some websites, but recently it hasn't been working properly even though it's in the scripting guide. We have fixed this bug and need it to be tested. This is important for sites like soundcloud, last.fm and reverbnation. This Note is for beta testers. If you are a beta tester and are reading this, we need you to test out the "Quit Script" functionality of webDOM. A detailed guide on quit scripts can be found :l:/g:2-8-16-Quit+Scripts.html#here: More on the update coming soon. Happy DOMinating!

DeathByCaptcha Updates & Fix

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 UTC

Some of you may have problems with using deathbycaptcha recently. This issue can be solved the following way. [ol][li]download this file :l:solvers/dbcclient.exe: and put it in your program files webDOM\captchas\solvers folder.[/li][li]Open webDOM[/li][li]Click "Automation" from the top menu[/li][li]Click "CAPTCHA options" from the drop down menu[/li][li]Click the "current solver" drop down box and select "Shell - DeathByCaptcha"[/li][li]Now try to solve a captcha as normal[/li][/ol]What happened is that they have updated some of the standards of their API and their shell system. Currently we are working on getting the HTTP version of DeathByCaptcha working again, so sit tight for updates if you insist on using that. For now, you can at least still use your dbc account with webDOM. Happy DOMinating!

DeCaptcher has changed locations

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 00:00:00 UTC

In the beginning of this year, DeCaptcher has changed their servers. You might notice that CAPTCHA solvng has stopped working in webDOMinator. To get CAPTCHA solving working again, follow the following instructions. [ol][li]Click "Automation" from the top menu[/li][li]Click "Captcha Options" in the drop down menu[/li][li]In the Captcha Solver options window, click the "Solver" button drop-down in the toolbar and then click "Alternative Solvers Manger"[/li][li]In the window that comes up, there is a field that says "Post URL" paste this: http://poster.de-captcher.com/[/li][li]Click the "Save" button in the Alternative captcha solvers manager[/li][/ol] This should work when trying to solve CAPTCHA again. Since you saved, you should only need to do the above once. If you are not using the Alternative solver option and you see "api.deCaptcher.com" in your Captcha Solver Options window as the current solver, you shouldn't have to do anything, we've switched the location from our server.

Here's to you and yours this holiday season. Happy DOMinating! Nathaniel

webDOM 3.0.1 - Newest Update

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 00:00:00 UTC

As most of you might have already noticed, there's been a couple of new functionalities and lots of program error fixes in the new version 3.0.1. Among the most notable updates are: [ul][li][b]Faster Gathering[/b]: You have been asking for it since almost a month after webDOM 3 came out earlier this year. Nothing has changed on the gather interface, but the gathering for large lists (50,000 entries and more) has improved dramatically. We are now using a high level indexing system for the lists so that adding to lists is still unique, but takes a small fraction of the time to check the list. In other words, you should be able to gather 100 items to a list with a million unique items already in it within a second. The only draw back to this insanely fast gathering method is that it takes longer to load lists. This means that if you're using a large list and quit scripts, it might mess with your time tables. On a Toshiba L505, it takes about 45 seconds to load a half a million entry list, but it takes a fraction of a second to gather 200 items to it *wink wink*.[/li][li][b]The List Progress Bar[/b]: This new feature shows the actual countdown the wait counter performs before moving on to the next action during automation. You can watch it count down the seconds until the next action takes place. This is great for debugging anything that might be getting stuck during automation. The other thing this progress bar serves for is to show progress of loading large lists since this now takes a bit longer.[/li][li][b]Automatic List Backup[/b]: Since we've added the new list system, we've been working on making it perfect and getting out all the small kinks. Some of you may have lost lists in the past. With this new update we're leaving that problem in the past. Backups will be performed on each list that's loaded. It even stores one extra backup of the backup of your list every once and awhile. The backup system will never save a backup that's smaller than the previous list size. There is also a new "Restore from backup" feature in the List menu inside the List manager. This will restore your list from the latest backup so that if anything should occur and your list does not show up, you can get your data back easily.[/li][li][b]List protection[/b]: Yes, we are doing a lot with lists, but remember that we want to make it perfect. The list protection system is now in place so that if you try to close webDOM while a list is currently saving itself, you will no longer cut off that process. We have realized over the course of this year that this is what's going on in a majority of the cases, so we've made it so that webDOM waits to close until a list is done being saved to or loaded before it closes all the way. Note: this does not affect using the "right-click" close item on the task tray icon. This will always be a non-save shortcut to closing.[/li][li][b]Version updating[/b]: We have built a new way for the program to check versions so you will no longer have update issues with webDOM itself. We are working on a way to make version checking work on plugins the same way to avoid the same issue with automatic updates for plugins.[/li][li][b]Save Lists After Every Action Fix[/b]: Sometimes the lists were not saving after every action properly, this is now fixed. Also, it's possible now (in script) to change the number of actions that go by between saves. This can help for larger lists, see :l:/r:5697#this_page: [/li][li][b]New Commands / Variables / Properties[/b]: See the :l:scripting-reference.php#scripting_reference: for Most recently added commands[/li][li][b]CAPTCHA System Update[/b][ul][li]Easier Solver switching is now in place in the CAPTCHA Solver Options window[/li][li]DeCaptcher HTTP solver settings are hard-coded now to use the updated http url in any case[/li][/ul][/li][li][b]Gathered Items Tracking[/b]: webDOM now tracks how many items it has gathered in total and to each list during the current webDOM instance. There is a visualization of it in the Stats menu in the main Browser Window. A new list property was also added to be able to access this per-list in scripts.[/li][/ul] Overall, it's been a lot of work, a lot of tweaking, and a lot of testing. We thank everyone who's helped us get that much closer to perfection with webDOM and we encourage everyone to give their opinion or tell us when something could be working better in the site's shout box, or in Comments which any webDOM user can add on any page. We are now working on a post-use survey system much like Skypes. This will make it easier for you to lend us a hand and let us know when a plugin stops working or when something went wrong. A new public update has been released to day with one more last-minute fix to the list protection system that is recommended to download the newest version of webDOM. If your updater is not working properly, you may need to update manually. Instructions :l:help.php?id=62#here: for manual update of webDOM. Happy DOMinating!

Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused you today, and thanks for using webDOM!

Moving forward

Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:00:00 UTC

First off, congratulations to everyone who took advantage of Summer Madness. It was a great success. Secondly, there's a new patch of webDOM coming up which includes some great fixes for Tables and List functions.

Tumblr freezing fix...

Sat, 11 Jun 2011 00:00:00 UTC

Tumblr.com all of the sudden freezing on you when you log in using webDOM but not with ie?

This is due to an issue with all embedded internet explorer objects in windows and we have figured out a fix for it. We are making a last-minute fix to the recent program update patch we had scheduled for release. The testing for this fix is taking place this weekend, so sit tight and we hope to have something ready and tested by monday.

This freezing issue is basically something that's new. We noticed it this morning so we've been working on figuring out a solution all day and have now started to take action on what we feel is the best route. If you'd like to help beta test this fix over the weekend, please shout to @webDOMinator and we will forward you the latest patch update when available.

New update coming soon & Forum news

Fri, 03 Jun 2011 00:00:00 UTC

The most recent changes (available in next public update) to webDOM include

Added new ability to set list.handle.current so that things like the updated SoundCloud plugin has a working "Mutualize" script
In the Stats display - the Stop At number is now shown if set in the list manager and the Estimated time to completion and percentage bar are based off of the Stop point
It is now possible to load a list from any folder on your computer, and it is also possible to load a .txt or .csv file as a list if it's one item per line
Ability to run a random action each time automation advances
Fixes to the CAPTCHA Alternative solver retry system
Fixes to the Auto-Stop on autogathering for stopping on a certain number of items gathered
Additional test option and information on the Message Editor that shows characters and number of possibilities for dynamic phrases

In addition to that, we've been working hard to remove any false postives from popular Anti-Virus systems by contacting these AV companies and getting them to whitelist us. So far that's been going well and it's been a great relief that AV companies are much more prone now to admit when their system guesses wrong.

Some of you may have also noticed that for tha last month, you have not been able to post to the Forum on webdombot.com. This is because there was a rising amount of spam that was getting past the spam filter and people had started to post links to illegal pornography on the forum. These were all removed, but as a result, the forum had been shut down simply due to the fact that we are revising the system so that only registered webDOM users can register a forum account. This should minimize the amount of spam that has to be moderated daily... hopefully completely obliterate it so that we can focus on what's important and not policing a Forum. More news on the Forum will come shortly.

All in all, we are starting the march toward webDOM 4 and beta testers will start to see some new features that need testing, in addition to continuing the bug hunt. Anyone who needs help with any plugins or the program update, please :l:contact.php#let_us_know:

webDOM 3 is HERE

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 00:00:00 UTC

Get it at :l:download.php#the_download_page: and let me know what you think :) The program will speak for itself, as it has new interactive tutorials... Over the next couple of days I will be updating more of the website, working on the Minion Scripting Reference, and releasing some more resources and interactive tutorials covering things, you, our beloved clients ask for. I'll also release a full change log so those of you who are veterans can see all the new toys to play with. That said, tables still needs a little testing, so whoever is down to try it out, I'll be making a tables tutorial here shortly, and you can check it out. Here are some more links... [ul] [li] :l:scripting-reference.php?l=r#scripting_reference_recently_added_commands: [/li] [li] :v:praQvinhR4M: a video of how the getting started tutorial should run for you.[/li] [/ul] More updates later, I'm off to take a short break :) It's been months and months of creating and testing over and over again, but I think you'll find it's been well worth it.

Golden Week Winners and more webDOM 3

Sat, 01 Jan 2011 00:00:00 UTC

Hi everyone, I hope that you had a wonderful time last night bringing in 2011. This year it's time to rock hard on your social marketing campaigns and pull out all the stops. This year, soon, we will be releasing webDOM version 3!

Let's take a look at those who won a lifetime subscription this year during "Golden Weeek" (Dec 25th through 31st.)...

This years winners are: @atron @dkwline @goent @Bran11 and @spiritwarrior ... congratulations to all of you for taking advantage of a great opportunity to get webDOM for life. For those of you who missed out this year, we will be doing the same thing next year for Golden Week, so sit tight :).

More webDOM 3 please

Well in development of the system we are about 95% done and should start heavy beta testing of some of the new features within a week or two. The biggest thing we are excited about is the new multi-list system. Mix that with the ability to use any CAPTCHA solving service you want and you're flying high. Along with all these features, there are quite a few great bug fixes that will make webDOM run smoother, faster, and more stable.

We'll keep you updated on progress in the new version and we'll be posting up some sneak peek videos. We also have re-designed the website to give it a new sleek look for a new year and a new version. The design should be featured around the 15th of January. That's all for now.

Happy New Years and Happy DOMinating!
Nathaniel

New webDOM 3 ETA and Xmas Special

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Hello and merry xmas to everyone and happy new year.

There have been some delays in getting webDOM 3 complete and tested. Our new ETA for webDOM 3 is February 1st. This may come as a disappointment to some of you but it's necessary to get everything working 100% and tested out so WD3 is a solid release

Consolation prize? Okay, so as a consolation, what I'm doing is opening up an opportunity for anyone who buys a year of webDOM between December 25th and January 1st. Those who buy a year license of webDOM in this time frame will get a Lifetime license of webDOM for the price of a year! Yes, you read correctly, LIFETIME.

More updates on webDOM 3 as progress is made. I wish everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

Into the Features of webDOM 3

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 00:00:00 UTC

You might have noticed we've been a little quiet lately. This is because we're busy working hard in the workshop so we can get you your new version of webDOM by December 25th.

Over the next couple of updates, we're going to be taking a look into some of the new features of webDOM 3.0 that can now be revealed with a little more clarity.

The lists system updates

The list system is getting a major overhaul at the moment. We are breaking the previous boundaries of the well known webDOM list system.

There are now multiple lists that a plugin loads with, pre-saved with the plugin settings
Each list will be able to have it's own gather settings so that multiple types of data can be gathered at a time
The list system will now be much faster when gathering
A new blacklist system that allows any list to be set up as blacklist for another list
A brand new interface to make it easy to work with lists

Tables

Tables have been a long desired feature in webDOM. We've gone table crazy and created a way to finally make 2d datasets that can even be queried! This part of the system is in beta testing at the moment and should be ready by the christmas release.

More to come

Beyond all that fun data gathering stuff, there really are quite a bit of new groundbreaking features that have been being added which will change the way we all use webDOM next year:

Newer Help system features will allow better troubleshooting for more topics
Quite a bit of new features are being worked on which will help the user experience become easier and more powerful
More community features are built into the system to bring peer interaction to a new level
Two words, webDOM Connect

Overall, we've been cooking up some great gifts and we're glad to announce the price for webDOM will stay the same even with all of these new tools and functionality! Here's hoping you a great holidays.

To be Continued.... Happy DOMinating!

The NEW webDOM Forum!

Mon, 04 Oct 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Hey everyone, come check out and register for the new webDOMinator forum. This time it's hosted by us and will be monitored daily.

there's space on the forum for SEO talk, SEM talk, and of course, help with using webDOM. Let's get this forum live and rocking :) hit up the link icon to go there or use the Forum link a the top of the updates page. :l:forum/index.php:

The road to 3.0 and some new important changes

Wed, 08 Sep 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Most of you have already gotten the email I sent out to all webDOM clients about the anti-virus false positives that have been affecting webDOMinator, not only during installation, but in reputation. Clean-MX is one of the websites mainly responsible for having me kicked off of my previous server. I am happy to say that we are now on a new server that will actually stand up for us and will not kick us off. I'm also happy to say that I've finally gotten rid of most all false-positives in the programs set. I had to get rid of wdbrowse.exe and instead the registration, the help system, and the notes system will open up in your default browser.

Important Changes

PLEASE NOTE: in order to clean up the math/concatenation system in the Minion scripting engine, I had to change the basic form of performing math in minion. Before it was possible to perform the following. [code] var:i=var.i+1 [/code] notice that there's no space between var.i and the "+" sign and the 1. This is now incorrect and will no longer be parsed as math, but as a literal. To perform the actual mathematical equation you need to uses spaces like this: [code] var:i=var.i + 1 [/code] Please update any loops you may be using math in, or any scripts where you use math to add to counters. The same goes for subtraction, division and multiplication.

In other news, we now support 2d datasets, (tables) which can do all kinds of marvelous things like exporting a table you see on a website to CSV, or a series of that table, as well as having other great functions. For more on tables see the scripting reference here :rs:table: . We also have included the SimuMacros system, the first draft of this where windows are now controllable. Other little changes have been made like:

you can now save and load account sets as other files instead of default.
you can now use a simple regex pattern to return a match from the current web page to a variable. See :r:3398:
The nextproxy command :r:nextproxy: and the lastproxy command :r:lastproxy: allow you to change proxies in your list in order.

On the road to webDOM 3.0 there are many other updates that are waiting to happen including a new captcha outsourcing system, controlling other windows and file uploads, an update to the lists system with new functionality and no limitations.

Happy DOMinating, be unstoppable!

webDOM 3.0 on the Horizon

Sun, 20 Jun 2010 00:00:00 UTC

The rumor's out. webDOMinator 3.0 is coming, and with it, webDOM Enterprise Server.

What's going to be new?

Well, we can't tell you everything but here's a short list of some of the things to look forward to.

Interconnected and intercontrollable webDOM processes
Run and control multiple instances of webDOMinator on many computers
New bulk license discounts with the purchase of webDOM Enterprise Server
Built-in community features and updates allowing webDOM users to interact with other webDOMmers
Many more new features and commands along with some top-secret ideas we're putting into play

So webDOMmers, stay tuned and keep DOMinating. We'll have more about webDOM 3.0 soon. It's scheduled for release in Q4 2010.

Important Myspace Plugin Update

Sat, 08 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Myspace plugin updated, latest build required. If you have automatic updates turned on, you should have gotten this update already and are using build 16 of version 2.5.2. If not, you can download it manually at http://webdombot.com/webDOM.exe.

We've recently fixed the myspace plugin to work for friend adding again. Myspace changed their add friend format last week to a pop-up window for adding each person. Last week we updated webDOM and the myspace plugin to work with the changes. To use the new updated version of the myspace plugin, you have to have the latest build.

If friend adding is not working for you, please contact us.

Happy DOMinating!

Facebook's War against Automation...

Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 UTC

I'm writing this to let all of you know that facebook has recently declared war on automated systems. They are trying to pass into law, a general restriction on automated software using their site. I'm sure you've all seen facebook show up in the news more recently due to their other issues with Privacy. The privacy issues is small compared to this anti-automation war facebook seems to have started.

This is facebook stepping out of bounds and trying to hit the little guys (you and me) where it hurts.

They want to force people to use their own advertising system to try to boost their turnout on that. In doing so, they are trying to pass terms of service breaches into the world of "criminal activity". Sadly, they have missed the fact that automation is what built the internet. It's what built facebook itself. There is a full report and record of this at the Electronic Freedom Foundation's website. It is extremely important that facebook does not pass this into law using their political power because it will mean a new movement in the Social Network realm where EVERY site wants to now make TOS violation criminally prosecutable. This is ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL in the United States of America.

Together we can find was to help the anti-facebook movement and buck them off of their legal/moral high horse. You can help by supporting the EFF so that they win this case and save what little freedoms we have left on the internet. You can also help by telling everyone you know about this travesty of law Facebook is trying to commit.

We've gotten word about 5 days ago that myspace friend adding and PM has stopped working. This week we've been working on a fix that will make your myspace plugin work fully again. It's going to take a software update and we'll be done within the week.

Thanks to @kidpump for reporting the myspace changes. +50 points for you!

Newest Instal of webDOM 2.5.2 Build 13 - Get it now

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Hello webDOMers :)

We've been working hard on finishing the newest features which allow plugin Developers to make custom options pages for webDOM using HTML and the special "wdonclick" attribute. Using the options pages, it's possible to create a customized interface that showcases the features of the plugin, or allows users to select options for specific scripts. If you already know HTML then it's very easy to do.

Besides that, this new version features many fixes, and a final fixed version of wdUpdater.exe and the automatic updates system.

For the update, you must re-install webDOM - this is a simple process, just download and run the installer and all the base webDOM files will be updated.

Stay tuned for new plugin updates, we are working on the Myspace fix as well as putting this new options page system to the test by building some custom option pages for some of the top and most recently added plugins.

Happy DOMinating!

More About The New Interface...

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 00:00:00 UTC

Okay, you've probably noticed that webDOM has asked you to update and that when you updated, you saw the new interface. We've put together a quick video tutorial you probably have watched above which explains some of the changes.

Besides the changes mentioned in the video, you might find that webDOM now runs even smoother. There was also a previous problem where webDOM was not running correctly in Thailand and possibly other southeast asian countries. This issue has been resolved, and now allows anyone from that area of the world to properly register a license to their computer, etc. Thanks a lot to QQ for helping us with that fix :)

The New Interface also includes

Auto-Scripting! Finally there is a tool that has bridged the gap between advanced webDOM gurus and complete noobs. watch the basic auto-scripting video tutorial
A working Plugin Export capability when you click on "Upload" in your plugin menu. The export function makes sure all your private data is taken out of the plugin settings when making the zip file that it exports.
New "virtual" list systems which allow you to create lists in minion code and do not have a 32k list limit. See the Scripting Reference: List Command. Be sure to head to the Scripting Reference: Recent Commands page to see the newest additions to Minion scripting.

All in all, quite a great update, and we hope to hear from you all on what you think about the new interface.

Happy DOMinating!
