Login error

Post by picman »

I am a member of the playboy cyberclub website and have a valid login. I used to be able to login (used the manual login settings) with Picaloader. I few months ago it gave me errors and would not let me log on. Attached is a word documnet with the settings I used and the error message I receive.

Any ideas what changed and how to get around this. I used to be able to download the new pictures each day with a few clicks. Now it is back to following every link and downloading the pictures individually.

Bummer!

A Second Problem....

Post by picman »

Thank you for responding. Updating to the lastest version off the website corrected my login problem. I thought I had already downloaded the latest version (I tried that a couple months ago before I posted this question) but I guess it has changed since then.

I have a second question about downloading pictures form this site. This only effects a few of the webpages but it looks like they are trying different things to prevent programs like this from being able to download automatically.

The URL of the page that shows a photo looks like this:

http://cyber.playboy.com/members/magazi ... l?offset=0

The URL of the actual picture on the page is:

http://cyber.playboy.com/members/magazi ... AA-lrg.jpg


If you view "properties" of the picture you can select this and actually go to that URL. You can then do a right click of the mouse and "save as".

The next picture in the series has the name:

http://cyber.playboy.com/members/magazi ... 9C-lrg.jpg


I can't seem to get picaloader to do this automatically. The names of the images are not (from what my brain can figure out) sequential so I can't figure out how to make picaloader go thorough them using a simple expresion.

Again, I am a memeber of this site so I realize you may not be able to do much trouble shooting unless you are a member too. If you have any thing to suggest or need more details, let me know.

Thank for your help!
