The long anticipated release of Tube Toolbox 2.0 is here as promised!
We decided to take Tube Toolbox to the next level with a whole new look and a load of new features. The changes were so drastic that we could do notihng less than call this version Tube Toolbox 2.0. Please read below about all of the exciting new changes. We are currently working on brand new Help Videos to go along with the new version and will let you all know when they are ready. Just like any major release, we did as much testing as possible but there were so many changes that we expect a few minor bugs here and there so be sure to post any issues in our online Forums. I have created a special place to post responses about version 2.0: http://www.tubetoolbox.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&m=681ʩ
[New Features]
Redesigned Main Interface
We simply ran out of room on the main screen because there were too many features in Tube Toolbox! To solve the problem, we removed the buttons from the top and created a whole new side panel where the 'Tools' are nicely grouped. You can expand or collapse groups as you please and the state of the panels (expanded or collapsed) will be saved between sessions. Please take a minute to see what is available (maybe you'll even find a feature that you didn't know Tube Toolbox had).
Include Username in Messages & Comments
You can now personalize messages and comments by including the user's Username in the message. Simply type "#UN#" (without the quotes) anywhere in your message and it will automatically be replaced by the Username for each person when messages/comments are sent out.
Export Users & Videos
You can now export a list of Users or Videos if needed in "Comma Separated" format or "XML" format. This will allow you to exchange lists between accounts or save lists to be moved between computers.
Auto-Update Notes
When new versions of Tube Toolbox are released and there had been more than one release between your current version and the new version, you will be able to see a complete list of changes for each version. Currently, you can only see the changes in the most recent version.
Gather from Search Results
You can now type search criteria directly into Tube Toolbox and gather the search results with a single click.
Uploading Files
From time to time we ask our users to send us Log Files or their Data File which can be a hassle. We added a feature within Tube Toolbox which allows you to do this with a single click of the button instead of the previous way - searching for the files on your computer and emailing it to us.
New Settings
* When you select the Max number of pages to gather, this value will be saved between sessions which means that you won't need to set it each time. Pick a value you like and you can just stick with it.
* When you select a Send Delay (Mix & Max), these values will be saved between sessions as well so if there is a particular delay that you like to use, it will automatically come up each time you do any type of Bulk Sending.
Remove Closed / Suspended Accounts
After any type of bulk sending, Tube Toolbox can automatically removed Closed & Suspended accounts from your lists to ensure that you don't waste time trying to send to them again in the future.

[Enhancements]
Sending History Enhancements
You can now filter the Sending History by type of send (Comment / Messages / Friend Request / etc) and also filter by a date range. More columns of information have been added to the report and the report can be sorted by Date, Username, Videoname or Send Type. This will give you a lot of basic information but let us know if there are any other type of reports that you'd like to see.
Select Recipients Enhancements
There have been several changes to the select recipients interface. First of all, you can now filter by a time interval. So instead of only being able to select "Send a Message to users who I have never sent to before" you can do things like "Send a Message to users who I have not sent to in the past 2 weeks" (or any other internal). Friend Requests & Subscriptions do not have this feature because you can only ever send one to a user anyway. You can now sort your items by Date Gathered, Alphabetical or Random. You can re-randomize the list by clicking a Random button as many times as you like. You can select and unselect people from the list easily now. Finally, when sending to a group of users, you can easily add a single user to the list even if they are not in any of your groups simply by typing in their name.
Sending Status Enhancements
You can now make changes to settings while in the middle of doing a bulk send. For example, you can change the Send Delay, change the Auto-Retry when limit is hit & also change your Security Code (CAPTCHA) preferences in the middle of a bulk send.
[Bug Fixes]
General Gathering Problems
Updates have been made to the Gathering section where Errors were happening previously. If you still have any problems gathering, please send us the EXACT PAGE & CIRCUMSTANCES that you are trying to gather. That includes usernames or keywords that you have searched, etc.
Stop Button Fix when Gathering
There was a problem when gathering users - the Stop button would cause an error and Tube Toolbox would crash. This problem has been fixed. PLEASE NOTE that when you click Stop, it must finish from gathering the current page that it is on before stopping. So it will not be instantaneous - it may not stop until a few seconds after you click the button.
Groups show up on Friend Request screen
Your Groups were not showing up on the Bulk Friend Request screen in the previous version. This problem has been fixed.
[Recap]
As you can see, there were TONS of new features and enhancements made in this version. Please email us (or preferable post in our forums) with any problems or suggestions that you have regarding Tube Toolbox 2.0. We did as much testing as we could but anticipate people running into a little issues that we will resolve with a new release next week. Thanks for your support and good luck with your continued YouTube Success!
