You select where you want to save the screenshots to on the Item Management tab-- check "Save Buy Confirmation Pages to:" and click the Browse button to choose where you want the screenshots

I did not, in fact, set a place, so for anyone who was wondering, apparently, it defaults to C:\Program Files\Neocodex\Manager\Buyables and C:\Program Files\Neocodex\Manager\Unbuyables respectively. The confirmation pages are saved in full HTML format, which originally threw me off.

So does anyone maintain a list for AAA for people to use?

[ThatGuyShane]

Attic is being a bit weird, does anyone have a decent list?

[Spirited]

Here's one: http://www.neocodex...._1#entry1521005

Why than you, kind sir.

I have a strange issue, and since the bug tracker section of the forum has disappeared I guess I will post it here

When I go to the attic on my home machine, it consistently works just fine and visits on the correct minute.
However when I go to attic on my virtual machine, it visits 2 minutes early. It will stay like this for a period of several days (this time it has been about 6 days so far, last time it was a total of 6 days) and then will go back to visiting at the correct time.
Both machines are in the same time zone.

If anyone knows what could be causing my VM to seemingly randomly not visit the attic correctly for several days, and then magically fix itself, I'd appreciate some feedback

What happens if you keep it perpetually on the day that apparently works?

That is an issue for a couple of reasons

After Abrosia buys its fifth item from the attic, it crashes and must be restarted (at least it does this for me every time). Unless my profit margin is high enough that it is unlikely to try to buy another item after it buys the fifth one.
And I have to log into my account occasionally to do TP and answer Neomails and such.

I mean, can you keep the date on your VPS set to the day which seems to work?

The attic timer should be using the time from Neopets itself so it shouldn't be influenced by the user's system time unless it was implemented wrong.

I set my VPS to the last known day that it worked, and now it is visiting 1 minute LATE

I suspect it might have developed self-awareness and is currently proceeding to attempt to drive you to insanity.

Well it's doing a damn good job

'Nother update
I set it to the next subsequent day and now it's visiting two minutes later than it was the previous day. Since the algorithm for attic times causes any given day's restocks to be two minutes later than the previous day's, I think it's safe to assume that the Abrosia algorithm is not system-time independent (or at least not date independent?). Since it's now visiting four minutes early I'll just set it two days ahead of where I have it set now (which will put my system time on March 17) and it should work.

_________________________

Yup, it worked. I could have also originally set my time one day ahead I guess since it was two minutes early when set to the correct day, but I am more comfortable going back in time than I am going to the future.

This is what I was referring to weeks ago.

Abrosia's attic timer IS dependent on our computers system time. I can adjust my computer time and watch the time change on Abrosia.

I have to keep my computer time 2 hours behind my actual time so it will be in sync with NeoTime.

That there is just plain bad design. : /

Unrelated on the program, but at my old job all the clocks were off by about a second a day, because the server was old as shit.

[calipuupz]

This kinda explains that since I started using ambriosa I have not gotten a single item from AAA, even though I have got many from igloo and normal shops. So basically I have to set my comp time to neopets time then it should work?

Shouldn't be. I checked and my computer is in no way synced with neopets lol.

Hey guys,
I know abrosia was down for a while and is now back up (or so I've heard), but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
Before when it was down I wasn't able to login to the program manager, now I can login to the pm but when I open up Abrosia it won't let me login-no error message or anything, I press the login button, it turns blue for a second, and then nothing happens. I've restarted it a few times and the same thing happens, as it did when I tried with other neo accounts.
Does anyone know what's wrong? Thanks

[ThatGuyShane]

any particular way to not get rs banned? am i doing something wrong?

Redownload or reinstall your program manager? I've tried it today, it's working good.

RS bans are totally random, so you're not doing anything wrong. You can minimize the chances of rs ban by increasing your refresh rate.

[Gibby2]

I got one in 2 hours the other day, and I haven't gotten another for over a dozen. Just keep your regular settings and have an extra file laying around.

Any word on when the item database is going to start updating again? I'm not getting many items since I keep having to raise the profit threshold to avoid buying items at a huge loss.

You'd have to ask the admins about any updates on that.

Sorry about the delay. Abrosia should be getting up-to-date data now.

(I turned the daemon on, and the screen just started flooding with data -- 200 pricers online right now, pricing items! Within about 30 minutes, we have 15% of our database priced, haha.)

Excellent. I'll go ahead and run NeonAP on all my stuff right away.

EDIT: It seems prices are being reported inaccurately...
