I appreciate that BUT. Unfortunately I am new to this. I used the quick start template script. The script has 76 lines. I dont see where to change line 809. Sorry again Im a noob...

You need to change the file named "unfollow_util.py" not your quickstart.py

Still no go. It gets to the first page of an account and shuts down. This is what it reads after the shutdown. Will that help

You got it wrong.

It's not : selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//body/div[2]/div/div[2]"}

It's dialog_address = "//body/div[3]/div/div[2]"

Read it up.
