In this example it is 18. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to find your user ID Find the user that is going to be your bot and click on the user name. Now look at the URL in the address bar. It should look something like the one below http://www.yourwebsite.com/member.php?u=2 <--- The number at the end of the URL will be the user ID.

Changelog: 1.0 - 1.1 -> Bug fixes and Product installer Bugs: Unfortunately due to time constraints due to exams, I am not able to find the bug fix for the PM bug. Whenever bot tries to PM a certain member with PM disabled, or something similar, it returns a big error. So far only fix for it is, disable PM for that topic and run it again. Maybe after my exams, I can have a better look. Other than that, the new version is just fine  Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.
