If I try to rollback a diff, VP tries to open an article with the title of the name of the last editor, and doesn't roll back. So, if IP 10.20.30.40 vandalizes, and I click on rollback, VP tries to open an article called 10.20.30.40, which doesn't exist, obviously. Messages seem to get added to the IP's talk page, though. Advice please. Mr Stephen 09:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
My vandal proof seems to work fine, however, whenever I click on almost any link I get the following error message:
"Internet Explorer script error"
An error has occurred on a script on this page.
Line: 57 Char: 6 Error: Unexpected call to method or property access Code: 0 URL: (Whatever the URL of the page I was trying to access was.)
Do you wish to continue running scripts on this page?
The title of this page is an internet explorer error (despite the fact that I use firefox), which seems odd.
The pages load fine, and everything else works, it is just that clicking yes on all of these error messages gets *very* annoying.
Thanks,

Hi, I have the same problem, and I downloaded "AutoClose ScriptError" for Vandal Proof, but apparently the problem remains... What should I do? I open the program before opening VP, and I let it run while I attempt to view diff pages on VP, but apparently it doesn't change anything... What do I do wrong?

Okay, this is another error I'm getting. I haven't had a chance to test VP with scripts disabled/warnings supressed on my home computer, but from other computers I get a "Runtime error" on "Line 56" whenever I click practically anything. It seems to work fine, but as before, the popups are becoming quite a pain. Thanks in advance, again, Ninja! 13:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and another note. The computer's im trying to use VP on during the day are on a shared network, don't know if this could cause problems or not. Ninja! 13:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it a Runtime Error or a Internet Explorer Script Error? If it's a script error, you may trying clearing your IE temporary internet files and cookies, disabling js (as you stated you already have), and removing any Wikipedia scripts you have installed. If all else fails, try downloading the hacky CloseScriptErr.exe from
http://amidaniel.com/pub/misc and running it alongside VP, which will prevent script errors from being displayed.

When I linked to a diff in the page Svetlana Ražnatović vandal proof would not load page history, and mistakenly reported that the most recent editor was the page's only editor, which was not true. After trying to rollback, VP failed to rollback, and posted an incorrect message on the vandal's talk page identifying the vandalized page as Svetlana Ražnatović. Someguy1221 09:43, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
In the preset for the rollback template the uw-af1 has to be changed. Because it is not functional right now.
After downloading VP 1.36 ... getting all the script errors ... and downloading the app to suppress them, I've logged in and I have a blank list under the My Watchlist tab. I push "Update List", and there is a brief flurry of suppressed script errors, and then ... nothing. The list is still blank. I'm using XP Professional if that makes a difference.

When I first tried to file a WP:AIV report on an IP vandal for repeatedly deleting content from an article, I had a message blocking me from filing the report from Vandal Proof. But, the message had nothing to do with the program. Instead, the message indicated that spam was being blocked. I tried again to repeat the progress, and I got the same message. So, because I could not file the report directly from Vandal Proof, I manually filed the vandalism report by going to the AIV page.

So, for all intents and purposes, you can ignore this request, based on the response I received from another editor about the spam list interference. lwalt 18:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I saw the same errors during the last run of Vandal Proof, but didn't catch the messages that appeared on screen. During my current run, the same scripting message appeared with the following text:
Error
A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?
Line 98 Error: "link.href" is null or not an object.
Hopefully, this information helps to pinpoint where the scripting problem. lwalt 22:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I have to press update about 10 times, to get it to update.-- Katieh5584 17:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
VandalProof isn't reverting the page. When I click "Rollback- Vandal 1" all it does it warn the vandal but it doesn't revert his vandalism; I have to do it manually. Does anybody know what the problem could be? When I try and rollback an edit that doesn't merit a warning to the editor, it takes me the user's page and doesn't do anything to the article itself. This is my first time using the updated version of VP, is there something that I am doing wrong? Thanks. Wikipediarul e s 2221 01:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
My IP is not static. So I have to use the secure pages on WP to keep from getting logged out. The earlier versions of VP mostly kept me logged in, but would sometimes sign me out if I clicked out any further than one or two links from the Recent Changes view. Now, it won't let me log in at all. I sign in with my username and password, and it changes to my IP and then says I'm not authorized. Argh. - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦ ♫ 04:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Same here. I use a wireless connection, and VP does not work. Argh, indeed. Neranei T/ C 01:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
New system install, no reason to believe anything is present that would cause problems, using WinXP SP2 up to date.
On first running VP1.3.6, I got an error (see inset, Image:VP Bug(1)-FT2.png) "Runtime error line 884, expected identifier, string, or number". Letting the debugger run, gave the remainer of that screenshot, as you can see.
I closed the debugger, on the basis perhaps it wasn't really having a problem, but on attempting to access "import/export lists" the same error did happen: Image:VP-Bug 2.png.

When ever i go to a new page, or click a button, a java error comes up saying: Line: 887 Error: Expected identifier, string or number
Not often but sometimes, and unpredictably, so I can't reproduce at will, when posting a warning comment on a vandal's Talk page, and the Article being referenced contains an accented letter, it replaces it by some other character, or pair of characters as if it was not using the the same encoding (maybe that is the problem?). It happened today with a warning I posted on a change to Kaká where the last "á" got garbled. I had to manually edit the entry and repost. Alexf( t/ c) 00:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Just a short while ago I started experiencing a problem with rollback, when rolling back it rolls back the last edit, but identifies the edit before the one I'm rolling back as the one being rolled back: [1]. If I use one of the rollback and warn buttons, it warns the wrong editor, it will warn the editor who made the edit before the one I'm rolling back. [2], [3] Dreadstar † 20:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
I'll have a look into this when I get the chance. I'm incredibly busy at the moment, however, so it might be a little while.

I noticed this, which says Reverted edits by Andrew c (talk) to last revision (159947490) by using VP and thought for a second "why was I reverted?". When I looked at the history more closely, I noticed that I wasn't revert at all. It was the anon who was reverted. Just thought I'd mention that if that edit summary was generated automatically, there was an error some place.- Andrew c [talk] 14:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
People, I commend everyone associated with the creation of this tool. Its flexibility and unending number of abilities is outstanding; however, the length of time to get a fix is frustrating. I understand that the principle of, "you get what you paid for" is applicable here and that creators don't have an unlimited amount of time to correct a tool which provides no remuneration. However, being given a projection when you think the bugs will be corrected would be helpful. Maybe it is naive to think that is possible, if so, please overlook my ignorance; if not, please provide a time frame you think is realistic? Until then I will reluctantly stop using this excellent tool. -- Storm Rider (talk) 16:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I've made the version 1.3.7 release available for download. This is strictly a bugfix release. Special thanks to Alex for his patch. If you encounter any problems, please contact Alex or report it to https://amidaniel.com/bugs . Thanks for your patience. AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure if this is a bug or a request for an upgrade. Recently I have been bumping up against Cluebot and other vandalism tools where both of us are reverting at the same time. What genearlly happens is VP will move from the article and post a warning on the offending editor's page; unfortunately, two warnings are the result for the same offense. Is there any way for the program to acknowledge a conflict and not post a warning? Any help would be very helpful. Thanks.
BTW, I really do enjoy using this tool! Though I have ended up with posting a few warnings to the wrong editor page, it is sporadic and happens rarely relative to the number of edits I have been doing. Your work is greatly appreciated. -- Storm Rider (talk) 21:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Whenever I click on Update on RC it won't work. Marlith T/ C 02:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is a wikipedia error or VP, but the format of this doesn't seem to coming out right. It's been a few days since I used it, but if I remember right, there needs to be carriage return placed after the first line for this to appear correctly. Jauerback 14:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
For some reason whenever I am viewing a Diff it shows the status of the user who edited prior to the current editor. For instance if it's a vandal, it for some reason shows the stats of the editor who edited before the vandal opposed to the vandal and when I rollback as a vandal, it wars the editor who edited prior to the vandal editing and it doesn't warn the vandal. Wikidudeman (talk) 19:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I posted this in the AmiDaniel.com forums and no one answered me. I downloaded version 1.3.7 and it's still identifying as 1.3.6. Also, it's having a hard time getting updates (it gets the same updates time and time again), and even though I have it set to update every 30 seconds, it's updating much faster, at every 10 seconds.

I have been approved, and I have downloaded the newest version of VP (the 1.3.6 zip and 1.3.7 exe), and once I open the exe, I type in my information, click "Log into WP", it'll show my cursor as loading for a few seconds, then the Username, Password and Privileges (saying that I have none) are all greyed out and the "Verify Authorization" button becomes active and once I click it, nothing happens.

Hello! I have a problem viewing the IP contibutions. When I go to the contribs tab, enter an IP as user and press "load contribs", a window appears saying retrieving contributions, but none appear. Contributions for registered users work perfect, but in order to view IP contributions it is necessary to use the browser window. I'm not sure if this is a known bug, or if I'm the only one getting it.
Oh, and also if I right click on the contribs window when it's empty, an error appears saying "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set" and VP closes. Any suggestions on this one?
Just in case, I use Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer 7. I have only used VP version 1.38, so I don't know if I'd have had the same errors on earlier versions. AR TYOM 21:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

When I first tried to file a WP:AIV report on an IP vandal for repeatedly deleting content from an article, I had a message blocking me from filing the report from Vandal Proof. But, the message had nothing to do with the program. Instead, the message indicated that spam was being blocked. I tried again to repeat the progress, and I got the same message. So, because I could not file the report directly from Vandal Proof, I manually filed the vandalism report by going to the AIV page.

So, for all intents and purposes, you can ignore this request, based on the response I received from another editor about the spam list interference. lwalt 18:00, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
I saw the same errors during the last run of Vandal Proof, but didn't catch the messages that appeared on screen. During my current run, the same scripting message appeared with the following text:
Error
A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to Debug?
Line 98 Error: "link.href" is null or not an object.
Hopefully, this information helps to pinpoint where the scripting problem. lwalt 22:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
User list is corrupt again, maybe just for me. I've rebumped a topic on the bug checker.

Hey guys/gals, I just got a notice that the user list is corrupt for VandalProof and will not let me sign on. The notice says to contact a VandalProff moderator. Congratulations….I picked you. Let me know what you need me to do. Have a great day. • ShoesssS Talk
I have just downloaded VP Version 1.36, and under the Recent Changes tab I am not able to get the =/- column to display anything but 0 or all articles. What is with this and can it be fixed soon? --Willy No1lakersfan ( Talk - Contribs) 14:40, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello there, I've launched the script-blocker thingy, but the runtime error messages keep appearing. Any suggestion? Cheers - Imo eng 07:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I have to press update about 10 times, to get it to update.-- Katieh5584 17:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
VandalProof isn't reverting the page. When I click "Rollback- Vandal 1" all it does it warn the vandal but it doesn't revert his vandalism; I have to do it manually. Does anybody know what the problem could be? When I try and rollback an edit that doesn't merit a warning to the editor, it takes me the user's page and doesn't do anything to the article itself. This is my first time using the updated version of VP, is there something that I am doing wrong? Thanks. Wikipediarul e s 2221 01:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
My IP is not static. So I have to use the secure pages on WP to keep from getting logged out. The earlier versions of VP mostly kept me logged in, but would sometimes sign me out if I clicked out any further than one or two links from the Recent Changes view. Now, it won't let me log in at all. I sign in with my username and password, and it changes to my IP and then says I'm not authorized. Argh. - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦ ♫ 04:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Same here. I use a wireless connection, and VP does not work. Argh, indeed. Neranei T/ C 01:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
New system install, no reason to believe anything is present that would cause problems, using WinXP SP2 up to date.
On first running VP1.3.6, I got an error (see inset, Image:VP Bug(1)-FT2.png) "Runtime error line 884, expected identifier, string, or number". Letting the debugger run, gave the remainer of that screenshot, as you can see.
I closed the debugger, on the basis perhaps it wasn't really having a problem, but on attempting to access "import/export lists" the same error did happen: Image:VP-Bug 2.png.

I was recently approved to use VP and after downloading and installing VP, when I tried to log in I was told that I was not approved to use VP. I would appreciate any help in this matter.-- Just James T/ C 11:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
When ever i go to a new page, or click a button, a java error comes up saying: Line: 887 Error: Expected identifier, string or number
Not often but sometimes, and unpredictably, so I can't reproduce at will, when posting a warning comment on a vandal's Talk page, and the Article being referenced contains an accented letter, it replaces it by some other character, or pair of characters as if it was not using the the same encoding (maybe that is the problem?). It happened today with a warning I posted on a change to Kaká where the last "á" got garbled. I had to manually edit the entry and repost. Alexf( t/ c) 00:02, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Just a short while ago I started experiencing a problem with rollback, when rolling back it rolls back the last edit, but identifies the edit before the one I'm rolling back as the one being rolled back: [1]. If I use one of the rollback and warn buttons, it warns the wrong editor, it will warn the editor who made the edit before the one I'm rolling back. [2], [3] Dreadstar † 20:02, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
I'll have a look into this when I get the chance. I'm incredibly busy at the moment, however, so it might be a little while.

Similar problem after bug fix. If the previous edit summary had a link to a user it it, the VP gets confused! Please be careful when reverting! Tiddly-Tom 06:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I currently have 1.3.6; however, when I start VP I get a notice that I do not have the most current version. I click upgrade and VP freezes. Any thoughts? -- Storm Rider (talk) 20:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Version 1.3.6, besides all the other known problems reported above, has today become unusable for me. When I press "verify authorization", I get "The user list is corrupt. Please contact a moderator to have it repaired." Anybody else seeing this? Alexf( Talk/ Contribs) 22:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I noticed this, which says Reverted edits by Andrew c (talk) to last revision (159947490) by using VP and thought for a second "why was I reverted?". When I looked at the history more closely, I noticed that I wasn't revert at all. It was the anon who was reverted. Just thought I'd mention that if that edit summary was generated automatically, there was an error some place.- Andrew c [talk] 14:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
People, I commend everyone associated with the creation of this tool. Its flexibility and unending number of abilities is outstanding; however, the length of time to get a fix is frustrating. I understand that the principle of, "you get what you paid for" is applicable here and that creators don't have an unlimited amount of time to correct a tool which provides no remuneration. However, being given a projection when you think the bugs will be corrected would be helpful. Maybe it is naive to think that is possible, if so, please overlook my ignorance; if not, please provide a time frame you think is realistic? Until then I will reluctantly stop using this excellent tool. -- Storm Rider (talk) 16:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I've made the version 1.3.7 release available for download. This is strictly a bugfix release. Special thanks to Alex for his patch. If you encounter any problems, please contact Alex or report it to https://amidaniel.com/bugs . Thanks for your patience. AmiDaniel ( talk) 02:25, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
I am not sure if this is a bug or a request for an upgrade. Recently I have been bumping up against Cluebot and other vandalism tools where both of us are reverting at the same time. What genearlly happens is VP will move from the article and post a warning on the offending editor's page; unfortunately, two warnings are the result for the same offense. Is there any way for the program to acknowledge a conflict and not post a warning? Any help would be very helpful. Thanks.
BTW, I really do enjoy using this tool! Though I have ended up with posting a few warnings to the wrong editor page, it is sporadic and happens rarely relative to the number of edits I have been doing. Your work is greatly appreciated. -- Storm Rider (talk) 21:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Whenever I click on Update on RC it won't work. Marlith T/ C 02:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure if this is a wikipedia error or VP, but the format of this doesn't seem to coming out right. It's been a few days since I used it, but if I remember right, there needs to be carriage return placed after the first line for this to appear correctly. Jauerback 14:35, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
For some reason whenever I am viewing a Diff it shows the status of the user who edited prior to the current editor. For instance if it's a vandal, it for some reason shows the stats of the editor who edited before the vandal opposed to the vandal and when I rollback as a vandal, it wars the editor who edited prior to the vandal editing and it doesn't warn the vandal. Wikidudeman (talk) 19:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I posted this in the AmiDaniel.com forums and no one answered me. I downloaded version 1.3.7 and it's still identifying as 1.3.6. Also, it's having a hard time getting updates (it gets the same updates time and time again), and even though I have it set to update every 30 seconds, it's updating much faster, at every 10 seconds. RainbowOfLight Talk 01:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
I have been approved, and I have downloaded the newest version of VP (the 1.3.6 zip and 1.3.7 exe), and once I open the exe, I type in my information, click "Log into WP", it'll show my cursor as loading for a few seconds, then the Username, Password and Privileges (saying that I have none) are all greyed out and the "Verify Authorization" button becomes active and once I click it, nothing happens. Please advise. - zachinthebox ( User • Talk) 17:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Hello all, the problem just started today where Recent Changes with Enabled Normal Feeds will not update. In fact the page remains blank. Using 1.361 version. Is this operator error :-) or are others experiencing this also? Thanks. Shoessss | Chat 18:57, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
I havent been able to log in to Vandal Proof since this morning.

I apologize in advance if this question seems silly, but...
When I click "Verify Authorization", it does nothing. I've been hearing all about these "VP is disabled" notices and I was wondering, if this is due to said disabling, is there a way to be notified of VP's (dis/en)ablings? Two One Six Five Five τ ʃ 20:21, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello! I have a problem viewing the IP contibutions. When I go to the contribs tab, enter an IP as user and press "load contribs", a window appears saying retrieving contributions, but none appear. Contributions for registered users work perfect, but in order to view IP contributions it is necessary to use the browser window. I'm not sure if this is a known bug, or if I'm the only one getting it.
Oh, and also if I right click on the contribs window when it's empty, an error appears saying "Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set" and VP closes. Any suggestions on this one?
Just in case, I use Windows XP SP2 and Internet Explorer 7. I have only used VP version 1.38, so I don't know if I'd have had the same errors on earlier versions. AR TYOM 21:07, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
