How to check whether page has open form?

firstnamelastname said:

I have scraped a bunch of URLs using scrapebox. now I want to know which one is open to comments, meaning which pages have a form on the page?
I think there was a way to do this using scrapebox, but I cant find it. I tried page scanner add-on but that doesn't appear to do what I need.

Once upon a day when slow poster was the only poster or the more versatile one, there was an addon and I even for got the name. oh the blog analyzer.

Once fast poster became better then slow poster that addon was mute. So to answer your question yes the best way to find if a form is open is just load all the urls in the poster, toss in a fake url, post and whatever is successful has an open form.

Plus you get the added benefit of then being able to link check with the fake url and see what urls are live and thats your auto approve list. So you killed 2 birds with 1 stone.

That is assuming you intend to post to these with scrapebox. If your doing something else outside of scrapebox, the page scanner is your best option.

thanks man, I thought about putting a fake url and commenting, but there are 2 problems with that:
1) if there is a captcha, scrapebox will fail so it will look like there is no form there, even though there is.
2) I plan to blog comment manually and I don't want to raise any red flags by commenting something random first, they might figure "this is the same person"
