To fix that problem, highlight the text you want to monitor > Right-click > Check4Change > Custom.
-Starting from the top, input 15 seconds where it says "Refresh and check every".
-Enable "Don't stop monitoring after first change". In case it accidentally detects a change, it will stop monitoring if this isn't checked. Shouldn't happen though.
-Enable "Don't refresh while viewing page". In the case stock actually appears, you don't want it to refresh the page while you are trying to buy the item.
-Check "Play sound" and "Bring to front". Otherwise you might miss the notice.
-
Check "Delay between loading page and checking it". Then enter 5 seconds into the field. This is why most people are getting false alarms. The page hasn't entirely loaded by the time it's checked, so it thinks it changed. Entering 5 seconds gives it time to load before c4c checks it.
Here is a screenshot of the settings. Has worked 3 times for me. Once for a wii and twice for remotes.
Of course, this will work for anything online, whether it be a personal homepage or a store front. What worked best for me with the wii, was putting it into the cart and monitoring the cart page. As well, make sure you have credit card and shipping info already on file on the website with a login and password. Using c4c in the cart well keep you logged in, so all you need is the 3 digit credit card security code to buy the item. Anything to cut down the time to checkout helps. When I got mine, they were selling 35 of them and less than 30 seconds later they were sold out.
Happy hunting!
