For the order of the modules you are right: I'll correct it in the next release. Jim: The database didn’t have information on how to buy dresses, thanks for reporting it.

But when you go to the markets it says 'resting'. It does not want to actually purchase Wedding Dresses. I have had no trouble with any other item. 2) If you have both 'Auto Grind' turned on and 'steal higher value cards' turned on, it puts a precedence on grinding. I had told it that I wanted 3 of the Eastern Fortress which are normally dropdown cards. It had gotten me one as a dropdown then one showed up in a Rat Pack. Instead of stealing the Fortress, since I still needed 2 more, it used the one I had and did a grind with the one in the pack. I saw it do this twice, instead of stealing the card I needed it grinded the one that I had. I think it should steal the card first (and I did have a high card that easily could have been used to steal the card. Thanks for all your hard work on this excellent script!

A better choice would be <a href="http://www.ie7pro.com/" rel="nofollow">IE 7 Pro</a> that also has a similar <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface" rel="nofollow">API</a> to GreaseMonkey. With the exception of 3 or 4 recurrences of the Mozilla-specific method .toSource(), the rest of the script uses standard functions. The problem with IE is that it doesn't respect the standards, so that scripts must be rewritten especially for IE, it doesn't support XPath (a quite standard specification) and has a lot of bugs. Anyway I don't have IE on any of my machines, I cannot install it (Windows-only), hence I can not test what I write. Brian: GreaseMonkey 4 IE seems to be at a very early development stage.

It's a server problem. I think that the delay varies with the server charge. Anyway I corrected some problems with the pop-ups in the new version. <strong>Brian E</strong>: I'll add something like "if there are any errors, reload after 30 seconds" to the final 1.0 release. <strong>Everybody</strong>: Your problems were probably corrected in the new release.

I am going to reset the databases again and see if I can get this to update. Piotr- I see that when I get the "Error in module 'grinding' on line 1334: steal is undefined" error, if I hit the Preferences button, the preferences popup is completely blank except for a header. Don't know if this will help you. Brian- I tried it but it didn’t work. I am going to reset the databases again and see if I can get this to update.

It did it a couple of times while I was watching it, there were no errors or anything it just went to the facebook page. Once I disabled stealing the script has been running for a couple of hours now without any issues.
