Roboform thread

[sweepyhead]

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 

I think I eliminated the one on the top, but both can probably be whacked because you're not searching.

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?

Nothing special needed... download the free version and try that out for awhile, if you like it, upgrade to the paid version... it's great....

This morning I tried entering my dailies using dark's method. It will take a bit of practice to work up to peak speed. Previously, I was keeping dailies in folders, which is why I couldn't load them to auto enter without closing the screen. It was vexing because I didn't know what the trouble was. Now I use the keyboard shortcut and load the pages into tabs.

Any more tips?

Yeh, why don't you just come over, and I'll show you!!

Maybe in the spring.

Sounds good to me!   I should have the rest of this junk around here put back away after over a year of rennovations.  You ever notice how easy it is to pack things up and how hard it is to get things unpacked again!

[sweepyhead]

Do you have a wireless zone in your house? I would bring my laptop.

I began using Robo without even knowing how to use my computer, as I'm a Mac user. There was a lot for me to learn on both ends.

Yeah, I feel your pain with the renov's. Doing lots of that here. Costing me lotsa $$$.

[lidarkside]

No, we don't use wireless; and I just use a laptop for travelling to check emails and keep my sweeps current.  I really don't like working on a laptop.  So, I just use the hotel's internet connection.

[sweepyhead]

The wireless zone FIOS gives me via the router is excellent. I don't have a modem.

I sweep on a Toshiba satellite laptop with a big screen, mouse and a wireless antenna plugged into the USB port. I'm going to be enhancing my Macbook to run XP and buy Robo 2 Go. I don't feel confident having only one computer with my Robo info as it took a lot of work to build it up.

You can also backup your passcards to a disk.  I also have Robo2Go on USB where I copy them to.

After reading this I also have a question.

I would rather not use the passcards so how do I get them from popping up every single time.
I would like to only use the autofill part of program.

Thank you for your time, effort, help and information.

If you enter sweeps directly from passcards, you will be able to enter the sweeps much quicker than just using the autofill.  Second, what is popping up is not passcards.  Passcards do not pop up, and you have to have saved sweepstakes forms to Roboform in order to have passcards.  You have to set the defaults to the way you want them, and that includes telling Roboform not to ask you (in popups) to password protect, etc.

I only have Robo2Go on my USB thingy... Is there a way to save it to my laptop also, so that if my USB thingy ever breaks, I still have Robo somewhere...????

You can backup your passcards to a floppy in case something happens to them on your USB.  If you want them on your laptop, you're going to have to download Roboform Pro.

But what if my Robo2Go breaks on my USB and I have to buy a new one?  HOw do I prove to the Roboform customer service that I already had it?  That's what I mean.  Is Robo2go forever no matter what since I already paid for that version?

[lidarkside]

You can redownload the program by using the license number assigned to you when you purchased it.  If the USB itself breaks, you have to buy a new USB.  I didn't buy mine from them.  I just purchased the downloadable program from them.  Robo2Go is used to bring your passcards from your main computer with you when your away from home to use them and update them and reload and override the old list.  Since you're only using a USB, you definitely should backup your passcards.  At least, those will be safe from being lost if something goes wrong.

I downloaded the recent update to robo pro recently and since then everytime I come back on I have to type my password. I didnt have to do that before. Only had to do it if I was offline for a couple of hours I would have to type it in. Anyone else having to do this?

No.  On my sweepstakes forms saved as passcards, they fill in exactly how they were saved.  If I fill anything in from my name on the toolbar, it still fills in.  Did you check your user information to make sure your password is still in there?

The sweepstakes forms are fine. Its just when I first come back online after being off and go into it my passcards. I have to put it in. Just once then im fine. But I only had to do it before when I was offline for awhile.

Your identity passcard?

[3mnkids1]

Your identity passcard?

yeah I quess. The thing that pop ups when you first go into your logins.

[lidarkside]

Your identity passcard?

yeah I quess. The thing that pop ups when you first go into your logins.

Clicking on "Logins" only brings up your list of saved passcards not your identity passcard.  Does your name show up on the Roboform toolbar along with "Logins"?

yep. the first thing I do is click on my yahoo save so I can check my email and the robo master password box pops up. not a problem really but just not used to it popping up every single time I want to go to yahoo

[lidarkside]

I don't know what Yahoo save is , but you can go into Roboform's defaults and change settings so it stops doing that.

[3mnkids1]

um ok. how do I do that.
