What we have here is a failure to launch. Dammit.
It has to be a problem with the date, bot won't work after midnight. It's eather Cinderella or a gremlin. Next attempt will be before midnight, if that posts it will be a stopgap solution at least while I work out the issues. Maybe I can check the dark web for bot viagra.

I might joke around but I could only imagine it's frustrating. I do appreciate all the effort you put in and I really am cheering for you and your mysterious friend.
It's like learning to fly with only a pilot training manual. Lots of really great detailed information, but what you really need is for someone to explain where to find a plane๐คฃ Everything I find assumes you know how to put something like this into production and just need help with writing the actual code. But I have code and need to know how to actually use it.
There is a guy in the Brisbane sub who has written code for a daily thread there, I'm hoping he will actually answer my questions and help. Programmers seem more than happy to share code freely, but are very tight lipped with details of how to use it. I think there is some sort of secret handshake or something.
It's not like you could butter him up with a free lunch or something. Maybe you should keep bothering him with questions until you wear him out.
I'm hoping he will be impressed by the stubborn determination it has taken to get this far and be willing to throw me a bone. Nagging is the next option.
I appreciate your bot efforts but I also like the manual start daily threads.
If it's a problem with the date, would it work on 07/07?
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Could it be that you have to do American dates?
