Problem with follow module
Since purchasing the software I have not been able to get the follow module working correctly.
It is only processing about 4/65 follows each time
I have submitted my logs
Let me know if you need screen shots of my settings
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong
Thanks in advance for your help

Did you emailed martin after sending log? With the log number?
If not, can you please tell me the settings or can send screen shot here?

Re: Problem with follow module
When you submitted the logs, you need to post what the log number is.
Otherwise how will he know which logs are yours?

You need to send log and after the log is being sent, you will get log number. Please post that number.
In order to send log, do as below steps.
Open Twitterdub
Click HELP > LOG > VIEW > Delete them all
Run the follow action ( only 1 follow action which is not working for you )
Click HELP > LOG > SUBMIT
And get the number. Post it here.
It will be easy to help you.

Re: Problem with follow module
I am unsure why, but it seems to be caused by the fact you are trying to process the same profile to scrape followers of.
Searches always happen at the start, so you scrape 60 to process in one action, then when repeat the action, there are 1-2 new followers, then you hit the ones you have already processed and the action stops scraping.
This could be a bug, or it could you set the option "stop when find previously scraped results".
However, if you want to process this one profile over and over again , it would be better to:
GOTO scrape tab
SCRAPE FOLLOWERS_OF to a file
then from the FOLLOW tab, follow file.
That way you can scrape the followers once.
Whereas the current way, (if it was working) you would be
action 1: scrape 0-60
action 2: scrape 0-120
action 3: scrape 0-180
basically you have to scrape passed what you have already scraped, which is a lot of duplicate calls.
Whereas what I suggested, you could scrape
0,100k once
then just run from the file.
