Having trouble leaving comments

[michael-duda]

First off, love your code. Easily the best of its kind on here!

I am having trouble with the program not posting comments. For the 50 posts I queued up, 3 of those received comments. Any ideas? Is there a way to specify that each post should receive a comment, and if not, to skip over it? Thank you.

@michael-duda Glad that you find it useful. The script is supposed to place comments on every post. Please share the parameters you used (excluding the username/password/target) and the logs. I can take a look at it.

Thank you for the response.

This is the json profile I have:

{ "username": "XXX", "password": "XXX", "target": randomaccount, "numofposts": "100", "findfollowers": true, "followersammount": 100, "comments": "comments.txt", "delay": "5,9" }

I tried the same parameters on a user. It seems to be working. It finds the max amount of followers you specified, and visits every profile and leaves a comment on the posts it finds ( less than numofposts). Also, I see that the number of accounts you specified is way too high and might get you blocked temporarily (softban). Currently, there isn't a softban limit setting for the script but it will be added soon. Please share a log like the one below (remove the usernames if you want).
