Forum ID Grabber v1.1 # PHPBB/MYBB Support Added!
This program will assist you in obtaining forum ids required by BLEND to post your threads in a specific section(See supported forums). Ultimately this program will (attempt to) have you enter in key terms and search a list of forums finding the ones closest to your queries. However goal is far away and likely to result in several migraines for me
. Anyways on to the app as it is today!
How to use
Start up program
Enter forum url (the url where you can see the index)
Select forum type from drop down
Hit load forum

FAQ
What took you so long? We saw this a full week ago!
Well you can't tell it from the outside but the inside was gutted and redone(WARNING: TECHNICAL SHIT AHEAD). So originally I had made it create a web browser and fairly easily was able to parse the ids out. Unfortunately this isn't exactly the quickest, nor most efficient, way of parsing HTML. So I grabbed HTMLAgilityPack and used its HTML parsing functionality to grab the ID's. However, it uses Xpath to determine where exactly shit is (primarily employed in xml but adapted for HTML). Since I have never used xpath I was forced to figure out exactly how it works, which took up a considerable amount of time. In the end it only shaved of a few milliseconds but I suppose it will be more beneficial further down the road.
Where is (insert forum here)?
Hold your horses I will be slowly adding them, make sure you post which ones you want added in order. As I will be tackling them by the most wanted.
ZOMG THIS ISN'T WORKING!?!?!?!?!?
Any issue with the program can usually be solved by giving it administrative access.
I have tried everything but still don't know whats wrong!
Post the issue you are having, with which forum(url), and as much info as possible.
Requirements:
.Net (Microsoft Net Framework) 2.0 (If you don't have you shouldn't be even running Multiposter)
'HTMLAgilityPack.dll' (Its included so you better have it...)
