"Posted before start of game"?
I am not seeing the scraper working for some reason it just shows blank and indicates failed picks if I click.
Another technique for checking if your desired square is taken is to view the thread by ALL instead of page-by-page, then use a text search for the square's NUMBER component only. This will allow you to check if anyone has used that number to choose your square, without having to worry about the multiple ways people format their picks (Do i use a dash in the middle of the alphanumeric? A space? Nothing? etc). You'll have to go through a couple of results because people will likely have used the same column number for different letter rows and the number may also show up in other places (e.g. a user's # of posts or likes, etc.), but it will let you know pretty easily if your square has already been taken.Example: if you wanted square Z-57 (not an actual valid choice), then 1. View the thread as a single page using the ALL option (found by the links to the page #). 2. Search for the string '57'. 3. Click through all the instances of '57' being used in the thread to be sure none of them are valid picks for square Z-57. 4. Create a new post to claim your square. 5. Don't edit it for any reason. If you want to add commentary, make an additional new post. 6. Profit!
