Error Message for Autotrade

[Anonymous]

I keep getting an error message which states that my version of autotrade does not understand the message it is getting from the game, and that I should update. I am running the latest Alpha version. How can I update autotrade?

I am guessing, but I believe some of these messages are caused by someone with a slightly older alpha posting auctions (I've seen the script get updated 2-3x a day), and even more probably someone manually posting a "WTS" message on this channel who is not using Cosmos.

There is chat going on this channel, just that alpha defaults to squelch it. Some messages trigger its auction parsing routines and when information has been "spoofed" by someone typing in a WTS message manually, that can definitely lead to seeing this kind of error.

It would be nice if this channel were completely locked to the autotrade program exclusively, but I don't believe chat channels have "ops" or advanced locking features yet.
