Sick Submitter won't register with phpBB...

I'm probably doing something wrong as I haven't used Sick Submitter in a while, but I used common sense and it doesn't seem to be working...

I scraped about 3k phpBB forums with Scrapebox and used Sick's List Wizard to make a site list for the forums. I selected the phpBB template and pasted my URLs then saved the list.

I loaded the list in the Profile Submitter and selected all 5 steps with 4 threads and started running. I let it go through about 50 links and they all ended up saying the registration page was not found, unknown registration error, or time out.

The thing is, I checked some of the thread browser windows while it was running, and it would be on the registration page, but it would be at the TOS agreement page. It would sit there for a while, close the window, and the Submitter would update it as "registration page not found."

Is Sick not compatible with these TOS agreement pages or something? I figured it would be since the template is built in to the program and surely someone knows there are TOS pages on forums.

Would I just be better off using vBulletin or something, or am I just doing something wrong?

do you have the latest update to sick submitter ? phpBB hasn't worked for me either, dunno why - sick started out as a really nice program and although they keep updating it, the success rate it has is lower and lower ...

My best advice would be to only select one step at a time - ie Register - then run that

then select check emails and do that. etc.

I find that doing 1 step at a time increases the performance of Sick Sub

i find using www.profilemachine.com to help the success rate a lot

No I'm using the 2.xx or whatever is before 3.0. I guess I should try the 3.0...
Have you had any success with other forum platforms, then?
