Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I'm loving the possibilities and having fun learning some automation via iMacros, however, I've run into an issue and I don't see answers specific to this issue in this forum nor the IMacros forums yet. I'm hoping someone here may understand this specific problem. It shouldn't be difficult, but I'm really struggling.
I have a series of iMacros 'scripts' that i run manually 5-6 times per day to post craigslist ads for buying real estate. i do this in the 'housing wanted' section for 'real estate wanted'... My scripts aren't complicated, but I cannot seem to automate the two screens where I need to select a radio button from a choice of options such as on the next two page links:
https://post.craigslist.org/k/Ghd9_C8m5 ... R1m?s=type
and
/* deleted second link because this forum does not allow nebies to submit two links in a post */
...On the first link i want to select 'housing wanted' and on the second link I want to select 'real estate wanted'. But the selection of these radio buttons does not record when I'm recording the macro in iMacros??? Everything else records just fine. The iMacros extension for Chrome has really saved me a good bit of time simply on the form filling parts, however, if I could just finally automate those last two clicks, it would really help out a lot. I even think I read somewhere that you can then set iMacros to run the scripts on a schedule which would be even more helpful, but I'll have to learn that later.
One thing to note is that when clicking these radio buttons on those craigslist pages, they advance to the next page WITHOUT hitting the [continue] button as it would seem you should need to do.
Below is my IMacros script. Thanks in advance to any help someone can provide.
