Hi @lively,
I've made several requests and observations about the friendadder software, but this next request is the most important.
There needs to be a way to avoid duplicate requests in the software. When I say duplicate request, I mean if you add 20 profiles to the friendadder account, that a friend request from one profile is duplicated by any of the other 20 profiles in the same account.
To give a background to others, friendfinder will only NOT duplicate request if the exact profile in your account runs across the exact same ID it did in the previous session. IF anything changes the order, then you will duplicate request from your other account profiles.
(1) Modifying an account (adding subtracting profiles) will result in duplicate requests from the account profiles.
(2) If you stop requesting friends from a group then go back to it at a later point, you will start your friend requesting session from the beginning. ie. if you requeseted 1,000 friends previously, you must go through each of the 1,000 requests again. In this case, you will not duplicate request, but the program may take half a day before it gets past the old 1,000 and find a new batch of friends to request.
(3) If you stop requesting friends from a group then go back to it at a later point, you will start your friend requesting session from the beginning and if one of your profiles has a login problem, then you will send out duplicate requests from the account.
Basically, it is very hard to target large groups/fan pages without making a lot of duplicate friend requests. Also, if you use the message feature, you might run into a problem where you are sending out thousands of duplicate requests from your account and having multiple profiles sending the same exact message to the duplicate friends.
As far as I can tell, the only way to avoid this problem is to add profiles to your account and do not edit them until the friend adding is over. Equally important, Do not stop/cancel a friend adding session until you are done requesting all the friends you want in the group (ie. keep your computer running and online 24x7 even if it takes weeks)
One "dirty" solution may be the request I made previously about adding a feature to start friend requests from anywhere in the group. This way, if you stop friend requesting at n=2,000, just take a look at the group size (ie say the group size is 10,000). If you decide to come back to the group later and the group size is now 11,000 (ie. +1,000 from your last session). then that means you could start the new session at n=3,000 and be safe that you will not duplicate request the previous 2,000 IDs.
thanks

EDIT- When I wrote the above, I thought the program would continuously loop your profiles in the account so you could continuously friend request large fan pages without stopping and therefore be able to friend request far into a fan page and not run into the requesting duplicates problem. I was wrong. The program stops after requesting from the last profile in the account. So as it stands, there is no good way right now to friend request from large groups/fan pages. Hopefully, the next update will offer some fixes.
