But please share the wealth if you find something, I constantly post stuff I don't need because I believe in helping the community weed out the gougers and getting prices back to normal for the people who need the parts.

It makes a bookmark folder in Firefox, so technically we could pool together one huge ass set of bookmarks and be the ultimate part finders!
*edit* Before anyone cries about OMG now the gougers are gonna know how to get stuff....they already knew. |

When you say: "and always put the per page items to the max, and make sure it only shows in stock items, if not you will get a lot of false replies"
What do you mean? I currently have some monitors on AIM set to "All webpage modifications cause notification" and "Ignore changes to number" checked however I get all sorts of false alarms. |

For sites like AIM, you have to set it for item by item, but it goes quick.... my list is fucking huge and I get a false only when I forget to log out of the websites. |

Yes because if you set the scan page when you were logged in, it is going to look for those protocols like "Welcome back "X" user" and when it doesn't see that it will ding a false. |

so are you guys using the add-on listed in OP?
i see some talk about having it filter for "in stock", i can't for the life of me find any options to alert when those words are on the refreshed page. seems like that would do the best job. i had mine set for any small change, got false positives, now i'm set to max on the change bar, but i'm scared because i've gotten no notifications for an hour or so. thanks again! |

Just find a site like midway and test it. Set the scan page with you logged in. And scan it not logged in, so you can see if your settings are working im here today so if you need help i'll be around. |

Their pop/smtp email server can't handle that load, this add-on will tell you right then and there. Don't rely on the dealer/manufacturer's websites, they are taking way to much of a load as it is. CMP M2AP fiasco a few years ago - Their SMTP servers took 4 yours to send all the emails, but they sold out in 2 hours. There were LOTS of people that logged in immediately after getting the email only to find "Sold Out". A month later it all shows up at gun shows at 100% markup with "You can't get it from the CMP anymore". Which invites the question, how do SMTP servers determine the order in which to send bulk emails? Alpha by user name? By domain name? By magic? I could get a gmail account for "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR2point0" and get first pick.

Some web sites allow you to filter on "brand", "category", or "in-stock" items. That's what they mean, the filter is on the web site, not the plug-in. |

My plan was to set a search up for a powder brand page and a bullet brand page and a primer brand page but they all have the URL of the home page. Any way to make the plugin work on that site?

Ya know, when it comes down to this, i'd say the buying frenzy has gotten pretty mindless now, people are buying like rats pushing a button for a food pellet when they aren't even hungry.
Gonna be funny come summer, when all the credit card bills come due, supply overwhelms demand, and the prices crash to less than what people paid BEFORE the panic. I've traded stocks long enough to know exactly how this works, noobs are gonna crap their pants when all extra the cheap plastic lowers they paid a premium for won't even sell at 20 bucks a pop. I'll buy a few things then, when complete uppers are 250 bucks and stripped lowers are back to 59.

Yeah, good luck with that, you will have endless hours of fun trying to tweak it, most webpages are dynamic these days, AIM surplus is an excellent example, rotating ads and banners and such. What will happen is you'll get a gazillion notifications that a page has changed and you'll get all excited but once you get there, you'll see that nothing has changed but the banner. In the meantime, you, along with every other person using this type of thing, will be sucking up mountains of bandwidth, and repeatedly cause sites to shut down due to automatic DDOS protection engaging. In some cases, your own ISP will throttle your bandwidth because it thinks you are launching attacks. This kind of irresponsible use of cheap and poorly coded add-ons is an annoyance at best, and a serious problem at it's worst, at times y'all are getting vendors sites locked up because of it, keep screwing around and ISP's will oblige you by limiting EVERYBODY's bandwidth and the amount of inquiries any single IP can make to single sites. Not that hard to write a script to check specific elements of a select few sites. This shotgun approach is in very poor taste and you will piss off real net ninjas at some point doing it. ETA: A good admin, can easily write a script to deny on an IP basis, any single IP that makes multiple inquiries in a certain amount of time, keep fucking around and sites will start denying you access period. |

At the top of the screen, click on "Tools" or "help". I think it is tools, and there will be a line on there that says "Update Scanner...somthing or other".

Another tip that works better for me, is to scan the actual pages in this forum. Go to the thread of the item you are looking for, such as "ammunition", or "magazines", or "IN STOCK lower receivers". Go to the last page of the thread, and scan that page. I actually scored my complete upper, my BCG, and some ammo by doing this. Now you'll have to watch when it goes to another page, you'll have to go and scan the new page, and delete the old one. Worked really well for me.

Tried to download the addon to my Firefox on my Samsung S3 and I'm getting an error message saying it is not compatible with Firefox 18. Naturally the addon says it works with Firefox 13 or later...WTF. Any ideas? Jim I am experiencing the same issue. My device is rooted. Any thoughts? |

Did you try using chrome, or some of the other variants? I am using firefox on mine and it work's, I am running Jellybean no mods, basically just rooted with bloatware removed. Without looking also I am sure there is a way you can get an older version of firefox also on it.... would have to look into it, but im sure it is possible. |

Yeah, good luck with that, you will have endless hours of fun trying to tweak it, most webpages are dynamic these days, AIM surplus is an excellent example, rotating ads and banners and such. What will happen is you'll get a gazillion notifications that a page has changed and you'll get all excited but once you get there, you'll see that nothing has changed but the banner. In the meantime, you, along with every other person using this type of thing, will be sucking up mountains of bandwidth, and repeatedly cause sites to shut down due to automatic DDOS protection engaging. In some cases, your own ISP will throttle your bandwidth because it thinks you are launching attacks. This kind of irresponsible use of cheap and poorly coded add-ons is an annoyance at best, and a serious problem at it's worst, at times y'all are getting vendors sites locked up because of it, keep screwing around and ISP's will oblige you by limiting EVERYBODY's bandwidth and the amount of inquiries any single IP can make to single sites. Not that hard to write a script to check specific elements of a select few sites. This shotgun approach is in very poor taste and you will piss off real net ninjas at some point doing it. ETA: A good admin, can easily write a script to deny on an IP basis, any single IP that makes multiple inquiries in a certain amount of time, keep fucking around and sites will start denying you access period. Sounds like you have your work cut out for you, saving all us mere mortals from our ignorance by writing the One True Way to keep up with in stock items. |

If you would see how many pages my scanner goes through, and I may get a FEW false results, because I forget to logout of the site, or I look at an item and it puts it in my recently reviewed. I was scanning so many websites that I split the job between two computers, just so it would go quicker. It does not take endless hours of tweaking...and lol at saying stuff like this will do blah blah blah.....do you really think the gougers are not using this type of software....give me a break. I guess we just rely on no one talking in threads and just posting links and that will get everyone what they need. The more I read replies in this forum, the more I wish I didn't spend the money to support this site, because people's reviews and opinions and other comments was the main reason I enjoyed this website forum so much. |

When you say: "and always put the per page items to the max, and make sure it only shows in stock items, if not you will get a lot of false replies" What do you mean? I currently have some monitors on AIM set to "All webpage modifications cause notification" and "Ignore changes to number" checked however I get all sorts of false alarms. Okay say it has a selector for 8, 12, 32, 96 items per page. Set it to the max number, and most sites have a filter for In stock, back order, etc.... make sure the filter is set for in stock, and if you are a member of that site make sure you are logged out prior to setting the scan. For sites like AIM, you have to set it for item by item, but it goes quick.... my list is fucking huge and I get a false only when I forget to log out of the websites. Thanks Shooter for the info. Firefox with add-on on a laptop I read this thread twice and the http://sourceforge.net/p/updatescanner/wiki/Home/ tutorial. Couple of questions. on the preferences, to eliminate false positives, my selector has LOW(all webpage changes cause a notification)to 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000(major changes are ignored)HIGH. I should be on (major changes ignored)HIGH?? And that would still alert me for an item back in stock?? My other ques is. Where can I set the filter for in stock or backorder?? When I scan the page I dont see it. I dont see it in preferences. Does the site have to have the option? If so do you have an example of a page that has it. For ex. Bravo Company BCG. They have a related items area on the bottom of the page that constantly changes and causes notifications. I'm afraid that if I move the setting all the way to High I'll miss the boat. Thnx again |
