Roboform thread

[dansbrat]

Evidently I have not been utilizing Roboform correctly before. In other words you no longer enter from "My Sweeps?" You save all the sweeps with a passcard & login accordingly each day? I'm not clear on how you manage so many sweeps & enter them so quickly. I've read how you open & enter many sweeps in minutes. I'm using IE 7; so am I able to login to many sweeps & have several folders open at once, or do I manually open the folders? Maybe the light will turn on tomorrow!

I save all mysweeps in robo.. After the first time I enter them I never enter again using mysweeps. Always robo.  I enter around 400-500 a day.. I only open up 8 or 9 tabs at a time. more than than just seems to slow me down. I enter from robo, click each login, then go onto the next.. It really is quick.

you will figure it out and be zipping thru them in no time.

Ok, I feel a lot more confident today! I've reread all the threads but just have a few quick questions. Should I save the sweeps in individual folders (i.e., IW's, dailys)? Also, I can get the custom field boxes to work on the sweep entry page?

[LIDARKSIDE]

My daily's are on the main list that opens when you click on "Logins".  I have separate folders for weekly's, monthly's, and odd entries.  I handle instants the same as any other sweepstakes.  If they are daily, they are saved to my daily's; weekly, to my weekly's, and so on.

I've now used Roboform Pro for the last few days and I can't believe how incredibly fast I can now enter these sweeps. I'm still having problems setting up the custom fields so the no boxes will automatically fill for opt in questions. I'm hoping someone can help me with this. Like everyone else I highly recommend this program. Thanks for all the help.

For most, all you have to do is press "alt =" together to options on the form to go over to "no".  Then you just save the filled in form to Roboform, and it will continue to fill out the form the same way thereafter.  Most people use the custom field for filling in "other" information like "pet's name", etc.

I don't understand how this program is used to fill and submit from the Logins dropdown page. Every time I left click on a link to fill and submit, it closes the Logins dropdown page and I have to reopen. This makes it very annoying and slow. Even when I open multiple pages to cick through it keeps closing the Logins screen. How is this being done to do multiple click-throughs?

For the longest time I have been filling from the edit passcards list because it stays open after click. I may just create browser folders and put sweeps in there for Robo to fill.

I'm not sure exactly how your set up is, but I just have two clicks to enter each sweepstakes--click "Logins" then click on the passcard, and I'm entered within two to three seconds in most cases.; and I continue moving up and down open windows/tabs going through the list.

Entering from the edit/passcards list would mean opening a new window for each sweepstakes which would take more time.

It's really hard to help when I can't actually see what you're doing.

[sweepyhead]

When I click on a link in the Logins window, it loads the page and then Logins closes. I have to reopen Logins manually over and over. Logins doesn't stay open no matter what I do. I have no idea how to keep Logins open to keep entering, and I've been working with it for a long time.

[LIDARKSIDE]

Why do you want it to stay open?  It would block the page then.  The amount of time it takes for clicking on a passcard in edit and waiting for the window to open takes much longer.  You're not just staying in one open window entering sweepstakes, are you?

Logins to passcards is so fast, it's not a bother to me.

not sure if this is a robo problem or not..     say I have 4 tabs open and im going through my logins, if one of the tabs has a sweep that is a heavy flash site like the danimals, when I click on the next login it will not load on that tab but will load on one of the others that I have open. It wouldnt be a problem except when im doing my sweeps I end up missing some because one will start to load but when I click on the next login it loads in the same tab instead of the one I want. anyone have any ideas. All my stuff is updated.. flash, etc.

[LIDARKSIDE]

It's not a Roboform issue.  Are you clicking on the next tab before clicking on the next log in? 

[3mnkids1]

yes im on the tab I want when I click the next login and if its a flash form it goes to one of the other tabs. Its very annoying.

You could always set a folder aside for just flash ones, do those last.

It's your computer.  I suggest you have an exorcism performed!  Mine is in the shop having one performed as we speak.

From what I heard, there's been one or two viruses out there; and the first fix failed, and some don't expect the second one to work.  It won't show up with your regular virus scan.  When crazy things start happening that I can't fix, I call the tech.  If he can't find anything, he takes it in to his shop to run diagnostics, finds the virus, or remnants of it and removes it.  Unfortunately, this is the second time in three months it's happened to me.  Both times, my computer was doing crazy things.  Like there was a gremlin in there messing with me.

I will run some scans and see if anything pops up. I hope not.      thanks for your help

The last time, I found a virus and deleted it; and it didn't show up anymore, but the gremlin was still there.  When the tech ran diagnostics on it, he still found remnants of the virus that was deleted.  After he took care of the problem, everything was back to normal again.  Now, I got hit again, but nothing is showing up this time at all; but I know there's something in there, because it was doing crazy things, so it's back in for another exorcism.

Roboform wouldn't cause that problem, but it would probably be best to separate them until you can figure out what is.
