Yeah, even when I build an iMacro to remove a single post based on a
hard coded URL, oooforum is so slow, that it fails to respond in 60
seconds after saying "yes, remove that like I asked" and then the macro
itself stops running. I set the timeout to 10 minutes, will see if that
is sufficient. That said, when the forum is so slow, hardly seems worth
the effort.

Well, I find the entire thing rather confusing. For example, I can
extract the table of text as follows:
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=NAME:search_author CONTENT=RobinColvin
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*
'Extract the table text.
TAG POS=7 TYPE=TABLE ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
If I want to extract all of the URLs in the table, well, I can't
figure out how to do that. I am able to enumerate the first two links
as follows:
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=NAME:search_author CONTENT=RobinColvin
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
I had trouble simply extracting all of them, so, I tried to use java
script to call iMacro, but that never returned from the first iimPlay
var spammer="RobinColvin"
window.alert("Read for '" + spammer + "'");
var search_macro;
search_macro ="CODE:";
search_macro +="URL
GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml"+"\n";;
search_macro +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT
FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=NAME:search_author
CONTENT="+spammer+"\n";
search_macro +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT
FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*"+"\n";
var links = [];
var iLink = 1;
var iMaxLink = 100
var link = "";
var extract_link_macro;
window.alert(search_macro);
// Perform the search!
iimPlay(search_macro)
window.alert("Finished with search!");
do {
extract_link_macro ="CODE:";
extract_link_macro +="TAG POS="+iLink+"1 TYPE=A
ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF"+"\n";
iimPlay(extract_link_macro);
link=iimGetLastExtract();
if(link!="#EANF#") {
links.push(link);
iLink = iLink + 1;
}
} while (link != "#EANF#" && iLink <= iMaxLink)
window.alert("found " + iLink + " links");
If I assume that I have already searched, then I can extract all of
the links by using "loop execute" and then using a macro similar to:
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=* FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
If I loop 50 times, it exports everything from that one page into
three files. It seems that it does not easily support doing the
entire thing in one shot; at least while using a loop!
At least by listing the extract command 50 times I end up with only
one file.
this is not a simple thing and it still does not get me to my end game.

To find the posts, I use the regular search. The returned list is the
same for an admin as well as a regular user. While displaying a
thread,
there is an admin link that allows me to remove the thread and
there is
a link to remove each post in the thread. There is also a link on the
bottom of each thread to navigate to a special admin page that
provides
some extra functions such as delete a user (but deleting the user does
not remove their posts).
I did an excercise and try deleting my own posts from oooforum. I see
what you mean (and what I was missing). There is no checkbox to mark
all the posts like it would be on -- let say -- the PM page where a
checkbox is able to mass delete all links.
I understand now your point on looping through non secuential links. I
went on the iMacros forum and found some tips responding to a
positioning loop.

Hope this helps.
