I'm a newbie to TwitterDub and have watched the first few tutorial videos, but when I'm trying to do the basic task of entering a user to follow, the bot seems to just follow a random twitter account(s) instead of the one I specified. I have tried using both username, and the specific twitter URL as the search term, still no joy. Anybody else experiencing this or am I just making a rookie mistake somewhere? Any help would be much appreciated!
Here are the steps I do:
- Add username to the Search Term
- Select User Search
- Select an account for the bot to use
- Select Follow
Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Thanks
Anybody else having trouble with the Follow action?

Re: Anybody else having trouble with the Follow action?
This is a USERNAME SEARCH
so if you enter a term of:
techno
you will be returned results such as:
@technomusic
@technomix
@technomag
@allnighttechno
etc etc
If you want to follow a specific user, use MASS FOLLOW, and enter the profile to follow
Or you can do it with a search, but in CUSTOM SEARCH, you must select the step
* ID URL USER
