Why not just buy it. And you're dumb for creating this thread. Most software creators lurk around forums to learn about stuff like this and patch them.
While Aleks Krulik and I don't exactly see eye to eye on stuff like having the basic sites working every day on a subscription product. (I say it's pretty fundamental - he disagrees) I still reckon you should just stump up for this. Or get something else.
I could go on and on about customer and forum support that waffles on and on about "Well we know it doesn't work - but the beauty of MS is you can fix it yourself" like a stuck record
For me MS is neither here nor there. It's an underpowered scripting tool, or an under-supported subscription posting tool.
If you want to just create and post, then Demon and Nuke are 50x better supported in terms of platforms that "just work - every day" and if you want to script, then Imacros, Zennoposter or Ubot are streets ahead in terms of functionality - and are one off fees.
If you want to spend time fixing basic bread and butter sites that really should just work on a $70 a month tool or..
Work on coding new platforms, knowing there are other tools that do this a lot better for one off fees (Imacros, Zenno and Ubot)
Then maybe MS is for you.
But overall, I wouldn't bother - for your sake and the developers.
You messing the dev and yourself about - tying yourself up in knots for the sake of $60 or whatever it is a month.
If you've used MS for months and it isn't making you a lot more than the $67 or whatever it costs you..you're doing something wrong.
If you don't like subs products and need to do what MS does get Zennoposter instead. It's a one off fee and does a whole lot more. The 5 thread version is fine for 90% of SEO work.
