Hello all! I am new to the forum but I guess I'll start straight away with my question and we'll see if I can get this remedied 
I wrote a bot in Ubot 4.0 to do some automated processes that used to work just fine and had no issues. I spent a great deal of time designing and coding the bot (all while learning how to play with ubot at all) and so when, all of the sudden, the click<id=login_button> command no longer will log me into the site through the ubot browser. The username and password are working well in a general browser but through ubot I get a blank white screen as soon as the node is run to click this button.
I have tried every work around I can think of: changing my user agent, setting the username and password to be entered as "key strokes," asking the bot to type {enter} to simulate the enter press, and even tried using different attribute selections to select the button in different ways all with the same result.
Interestingly enough though I can't even MANUALLY log into the site through the ubot browser at all (although the start of the code that navigates to the site, click s the "returning users log in here" button, selects the username and password fields and enters the info, AND deselect the "remember me" option all work just fine.)
I assume that there have been some kind of anti-bot measures installed from the site's end.... is there ANYTHING I can do to fix it? Or a work around?
Thank you for the help!!
