Question About Image Uploader

[Tom]

Can you tell me please how the image worker works.

Specifically. If I have 20 photos in the folder, how does it work its way through the pics?

If I was uploading to 20 accounts, will it just use each pic once?

If I uploaded 10 of the 20, does it go to the remaining 10 next time?

I q guess I'm asking, is there an order it works in to avoid using the same pic twice.

This is a good question. While it might not matter to some campaigns if the same pic appears on two different accounts, for some, if this was noticed, it might mean a loss of credibility. Hope this question gets an answer.

I had the same question. It just picks a random image. I wish it were more methodical to avoid dupes. Check this:

This is really not very good.

Dear Tech people, I say this to be helpful.

As you move into the more personal market, which you need to to succeed, you should realize that groups and clubs etc using robots to kick start their efforts, would like to do so undetected.

Your program should not use the same picture twice, as this leaves the process open for discovery.

With all this technical stuff, please remember you are in the business of creating an impression. A band with a decent following want people to believe these are real fans. Some rival band discovers that the same picture appears on different profiles, and it becomes clear what is happening.

One picture, one account then marked used and not used again or at least the option to do that would be good.

I will post this on the suggestions site too as it fits there.

Attempting to work as an affiliate, I need to know as much as possible, to answer questions before my clients buy.

One of my clients has manually inspected 100 accounts created using the Image Uploader, and he found one image had been used 11 times. He was drawing from a pool of 147 images. Other images had been used 3 to 6 times, and most images had been used at least twice.

This is not acceptable for anyone who wishes to operate undetected.

Can anyone tell me when this feature will be fixed to not use duplicate images?
