I was unable to install BOB on my new computer despite trying all the suggestions: re-install Greasemonkey, clean reinstall Firefox, cut and paste the text field, etc.
What finally worked was" I clicked on "Help" in the Firefox menu bar and , then selected the second option "Troubleshooting Information", then lastly clicked the button at the top right "Reset Firefox". It saved my cookies and bookmarks, everything else was cleared out, including Greasemonkey, which did not occur when I ran the clean Firefox re-install. I then followed the install Greasemonkey and install BOB links provided at the beginning of this thread.
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone else who may be having this problem. Ender 516: thanks for your help, you got me past the initial BOB install issue I was having that I couldn't figure out, just wanted to pass this fix on to you in case someone else runs in to this problem.
At the time of this post, the API seems to be enabled again, so I hope your problems have resolved themselves.ender516, on Fri May 24, in another topic or two, wrote:The word from the admins is that the Conquer Club API used by many scripts has been disabled temporarily as it apparently was implicated in the problems that the site experienced this morning.
Speed Turns is still not working. Is that one of the userscripts affected by the API?ender516 wrote:At the time of this post, the API seems to be enabled again, so I hope your problems have resolved themselves.ender516, on Fri May 24, in another topic or two, wrote:The word from the admins is that the Conquer Club API used by many scripts has been disabled temporarily as it apparently was implicated in the problems that the site experienced this morning.
it has been around a long time and i doubt there has been a sudden increase in users so i think CC has done something to the API for a recent update.ender516 wrote:According to the first post here, http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121144 , it does use the API. Because of its claims of near real-time notifications, I wonder if it was the culprit, overloading the system with requests?
You're right, the script hasn't changed, but the system may have. Perhaps "trigger" would be a better word than "culprit" here. In any case, follow this topic for more information about the API: http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewto ... 1&t=191107greenoaks wrote:it has been around a long time and i doubt there has been a sudden increase in users so i think CC has done something to the API for a recent update.ender516 wrote:According to the first post here, http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=121144 , it does use the API.

whatever they've done could have multiplied the time required for each Speed Turn request, grinding the system to a halt.
