June 11, 20205 yr What the hell is a secret validation URL? I'm trying to post my CPUID results into this cumbersome website, and it will not save it because I have to post my secret URl which I have no idea of what so ever, in fact I thought the rules said I could not HIDE my results so wtf? i CAN'T STAND it when a Site does not do a good enough job explaining how their site functions.
June 11, 20205 yr The thing about "Secret URL" is dated, you do not actually validate it on the HWbot site. Instead you do it here: CPU-Z VALIDATOR Be sure to bookmark the link. Also make sure you are trying to validate a result with the most recent version of CPU-Z, as revisions are released results from older versions will no longer validate by design. As to how: Best way is after you visit the above link, look towards the bottom center of the page and you'll see the "Manual Validation Form", that's what you'll use. 1: Enter your benching name on the "Name" line, the next one about an email is optional. 2: Where it says "Select your file" just click on that and manuver to the folder/place where the validation file you want validated is and select it. Just make sure you have it in a place you can find it easily before you click the link. 3: Click "Validate". 4: For your submission entry, make sure to actually bookmark the page that appears with your result - You'll need that link for the submission. Hope this helps. Edited June 11, 20205 yr by Bones
June 11, 20205 yr Crew Thx Bones for the aid. Now that's one way of making an intro... ? Flaming and other rude language is also not a feature of this free to use site, just a reminder..
June 11, 20205 yr I believe the OP was frustrated in trying to figure it all out. And..... As a note to the OP: 12 hours ago, RickTheSlickster said: when a Site does not do a good enough job explaining how their site functions. The usual mode of operation for the bot is disfunction - Get used to it if you decide to hang with us. ?
June 11, 20205 yr A CPU-Z validation link is mandatory for all submissions. Validate your result here. Link example: http://valid.x86.fr/yzpzac Validation status must not be “Rejected” Validation must not be hidden CPU-Z validation nickname must match HWBOT username I don't see an issue with the rules
