Roboform thread

Unfortunately, I can't see what you're doing.  So, it's hard for me to understand what you mean by closing the window/tab.  You don't actually want the whole window to close, do you?

[lidarkside]

Just as an example, I can do 30+ Classic Heartland's in under a minute just staying in the same open window and clicking on them one after the other.

Robo is driving me crazy. I can get it to load and fill a form but it won't auto submit.

[lidarkside]

Robo is driving me crazy. I want to enter your way for a change, but I have no toolbar logins menu. When I click toolbar, I get a menu to edit a passcard, or a new passcard. I'm looking at the manual, but I don't see how I can get the toolbar menu to appear.

It would be so easy for me to straighten it out if I were at your computer.  Go to "Roboform", "Options", "Toolbars", and make sure you have something like upper toolbar checked first.

Maybe when I get my Wendy's hamburger card win I'll drive out to your area, you can play with my laptop and I'll buy you lunch. Would you like that?

We can go out for a 36 oz. prime rib at J&R's Steakhouse!

Cool, as long as the currency is the Wendy's card.

Well, there is a Wendy's in Riverhead too.  Or we can go hopping.  Go through the drive-thru of all the fast food joints and have a buffet!

Just for that, you can go out to eat with us!

Good idea, as long as we have a cardiologist standing by.

I'm going to try this again tomorrow and do them my way for today. Perhaps when I'm not groggy with an upset stomach I can focus and make it work. Today is just not my day for something new. I have a Thanksgiving tummy hangover.

Ditto my thanks for your Robo help.

LIDARKSIDE -Thanks for your offer to help...how do I do that?  I use the free version of Roboform...

I hope it has these features, but I guess we'll see. 

When you click on "Logins" on your toolbar that should bring up your main list of sweeps. 

When you want to separate certain sweeps into their own list, you will have to make new files as follows.

On your toolbar go to:

Logins
Edit
Passcard
Folder
New Folder
New Folder on the upper right of the popup window
Name your folder and save

You can make as many files as you want. 

When you want to save a sweepstakes to a certain folder, make sure you highlight the folder name before saving. 

If you want to move a passcard already saved to that folder, right click on the passcard, rename, highlight the folder you want to save it to, and save.

Okay - I finally bought roboform pro, and I think I've got some of it...but I have a few questions.  When saving a sweep in logins, is that where you put the title of the sweeps too (not just SITV for example, but since they're running two, do you put the name of it as well?).  what about end dates, is that where you'd put it too - on the name of the passcard?

Do you save the instant wins to the logins too?

I enter for my hubby frequently, since it fills and send my info, how do I get it to change to fill and send his?  I've got him as an identity and all, just wondering.

So just to make sure I've got this right (before I do too many!)...I pull up a sweeps (to save the first time)...fill out the info but don't submit, instead, click on logins, click new, and type name & info, and save and close.  Is that all there is to it basically?  Also, does it matter if I password protect each one or not...it's a pain to have to uncheck that box.  I do log into roboform each day, will that cover all of those that I left the checkbox in?

Also, on some forms, for instance, the SITV ones, roboform never fills out my year of birth...so I manually put it in (drop down menu).  What I'm wondering is, before I save it to logins, and I'm initially filling out the form, and I put my birthyear, will the login automatically save this so that each time I enter and just click on the SITV tab in logins, it will include my birthyear?  Or is this one of the examples where I need to just not put it in logins?

Thanks for any help!

I save mine like this:

Sweepstakes Advantage, Glass Chest Set, 01-10-08, Daily
Sweepstakes Advantage, Little Lamb, 01-10-08, Daily

Instants should be saved also just like any sweepstakes.

Note:  Save everything "after" you fill it out correctly.

[lidarkside]

To save, you click on "Save" on the toolbar, name it, and save it after you first filled it in correctly.

[lidarkside]

Roboform will save the form exactly the way you filled it and and fill it out that way thereafter.

All sweepstakes should be saved as passcards.

You can make separate files for weekly's, monthly's, and odd entry's.

Thanks for your help - you are awesome!  This clears it up for me quite a bit...but I thought I read in one of these threads that you click on logins to access them?  Is there a different between logins and passcards?

Once they're saved, and you start entering from the list of passcards.  You click on "Logins" then on the passcard's name one by one starting at the begining of the list.  I keep four open windows to go back and forth between in case any take more than a few seconds to submit so I can click on the next on in the meantime.

I'm really, really enjoying entering this way - wow I got thru them fast this morning! 

I do have a couple of questions (if you'd be so kind once again!)...

On the dailygame sweeps, I noticed that when I enter thru Roboform, they don't give me the "thank you for entering" message, but when I do them regular, they do...are they really being submitted okay?  I'm concerned.

also, I've figured out how to enter myself if all of the ones I have saved in passcards, but if I want to enter hubby the same way , how do I go about that?

Actually I have a third question too...the sweeps that have a "enter here" button on first page and you click it to get to form...can you do those on the Roform passcards too (from the 2nd page - entry form)?  Or you you manually have to click "enter here" on the first page and then do normal way (not roboform passcards)?

Thanks!

Are any Woman's Day?

They're not going through.  You will have to create a "force submit".  Next time, just do a "go and fill" instead of a "go and submit".  After the form has filled out correctly, hold down the "alt" key while manually clicking on "Submit".  This should fix that problem.

I would just make a separate passcard with the husband's info in it.

If you can't save it from the actual entry form like the "AAA" ones, you can create a second page passcard for it by cloning the first saved name, saving it (which isn't yet saving that page), then save it again to the new passcard.  I just add a "(1)" to the end of the new page passcard.  Some forms might just fill out correcting from your login information.  On the ones that do that, I just right click on my name on the toolbar and do a "fill and submit".

[mtejen]

Thanks for the help.  My Woman's Day seem to be going through fine...is there something I don't know about?

[lidarkside]

The Woman's Day might work for some and don't for others!

[sweepyhead]

I created a special passcard for WD that finally works after lots of trial and error. The secret was to go into the Edit function and eliminate the field for search. No matter what I did it wouldn't go through otherwise. I'm still having the same problem with the Elle sweep and Rachel Ray no autosubmitting properly.

[fridays]

I'm  a newbie...does roboform need a particular requirement in terms of computer specs  (e.g.memory)? I am not computer savvy, not even sure if my /security /anti-virus is updated...will that pose problems?

[mtejen]

Sweepyhead - thanks for the info!  Did you edit and eliminate both search fields (there's one at top and one at bottom - both were filled in)...thanks...I'm trying to do this too
