ERROR: Unknown User!

ccartersti

Have been seeing this a lot in my log lately. I assumed it meant my accounts for posting were being used to post after being banned but I cleared my accounts from my project.

What else could be the cause of this error: ERROR: Unknown User! ?

Sven

well where exactly and on what engine?

I think it may be an accompanying error from a failed captcha.

Doesn't say anything about the engine:

11:23:17: [+] 076/637 new URL - https://www.heroscapers.com/community/register.php

11:23:17: [-] 076/637 ERROR: Unknown User!

11:23:17: [-] 0095/1040 captcha service Death By Captcha skipped for hard to solve captchas

I double clicked and here's some of the sites it was trying to use I guess:

oh well...if you mix the different projects, then all makes no sense.

?

Should I send my error log?

Most look like this:

Just seems like its trying to use stored users that gave been banned. 

Sven

ok that engine might need some fixing. It's web2.0 and you always have issues with that as they change their sites quickly to prevent automated submissions.

thats why you have this serengines.com addon.
