      Version 2.9.1.0 - A few updates

      New Features:

      * Import / Export Messages: You can move messages between accounts or between computers just my exporting and importing them.

        (screen shot of the bottom of 'add messages' screen)

      * Include "Unknown Failures" when Selecting Recipients: Instead of always including unknown failures (which seemed to confuse the heck out of everyone), it is now a check box and defaulted to Unchecked. If checked, it will include people in the list who you have sent to in the past but got an "Unknown Failure" response.

      Fixes:

      * Commenting on Videos: Was broken because of recent YouTube changes but fixed now. (note: I only tested quicklyand it seemed to work so if you still have problems, post your exact comment and what error you receive into our forums and we'll work on fixing the problem)

      * Fixed blocked pages: We had 1 user who's computer would not allow pages to render that contained "xxx" in the user's username and caused an infinie delay. This has been resolved.

      * Fixed bad usernames: There seemed to be bad usernames in people's database which caused problems and many of them will be corrected when you run this new version.

      New Version, New Features/Fixes

      Of course the 1 weekend out of the whole year that I'm camping and have no Internet access, YouTube decided to completely revamp their website and take down most Tube Toolbox features in the process. The good news is that you are paying $7.95 which means we have to keep up our end of the bargain to you and fix everything as soon as possible. We have already fixed most features but some were still acting funny. I *think* everything should be working now and of course, let us know if not. 

      Fixes

      * Bulk Comments: We finally figured out that the new YouTube Channel layout/style was the culprit. That's why a few of the older channels could have comments posted to them but none of the new ones. You should now be able to post to ALL channels again.

      * Bulk Share Video: So when you're sharing a video, it gets sent to 5 people at a time. If one of those people has "friend lock" on their account which means they will only accept messages from Friends, the video does not get sent to them. Tube Toolbox was then checking your 'Sent Folder' for their username to make sure it got sent but not finding it so it would retry. and retry. and retry. This is not good. When sending messages, it is 1 user at a time so YouTube tells us "This user only accepts messages from Friends" and we can work with that. So... Now, we check to make sure that ANY of the 5 people show up in your sent folder. If it happens that all 5 people have "Friend Lock", then you would get stuck in the infinite loop again which is bad. Because of this, we changed the default "Check Sent Folder" checkbox to Un-Checked. 

      * Bulk Message Sending:  There seemed to be one particular case that we can into when messages were looking like they were not sent but they actually were so that is fixed.

      New Features/Changes

      * Delete User Account: You can now completely delete and remove User accounts from your Tube Toolbox database. On the Log-In screen, select the user in the drop down list and press the Delete key on your Keyboard. It will prompt you to delete the user. NOTE: This removes all sending history from the user account so if you sent a message to someone from the deleted account and are Selecting Recipients when sending from a new account, you could end up sending to someone who you already sent from. Keep that in mind. We will change this in the next version.

      * Added "5,000" to Friends/Subscriber filter: Added new option between 1,000 and 10,000. It's 5,000!

      * Added "Max Unknown Failure": When YouTube made changes earlier this week, it caused many people to have hundreds or even thousands of Unknown Failures which cause some issues. Now, you can specificy a number of continuous Failure Unknown errors before Tube Toolbox automatically stops sending. The default is "5". From the main menu, click "Options", then "Settings" and you will see it. 

       

      * Increased Display Size for Additional Accounts: When selecting additional accounts in Bulk  Message Sending or Bulk Share Video, the box is wider so people with long names can tell the accounts apart. 

      * Unknown Failures included when Selecting Recipients: Now, if you had an Unknown Failure when sending, those users will still show up when Selecting Recipients. Before they would be filtered out which caused people to lose hundreds or thousands of users because of the most recent YouTube changes.
