Twitter's allowing me to follow more!
Suddenly Twitter is allowing me to follow more than the usual 2000 limit. Is anyone else getting this? I'm following 2422 at the moment (I have 1662 followers). I know there's a ratio of how many you can follow depending on the number of followers you have so I don't know if it's to do with that, or if Twitter have just…

Videos on magazine daily comps - help pleaseH
Hello, I used to be able to have several screens open and let the videos at the end of the magazine daily comps run at the same time. Now, the websites seem to know I'm doing this and will not finish the video until I have actually watched it. Has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it or is this just…

Advent win but wrong item sent
So, had an email saying I'd won a mug from thr Emerald Street / Anthropologies advent. Box arrived a few days later with "crockery" on the front and from company so thought I'd keep it for Christmas Day to open. Christmas day, opens package and inside is a candle in a tin and no mug.

Roboform passwords
I use Roboform to enter competitions and input passwords. My problm is that I am bad at noting down what the passwords are and if I need them elsewhere I have to guess. I remember years ago managing to look up Roboform and saw all the passwords. Can anyone tell me if this is still possible . I can find the ones Safari…
Entered and skipped comps
Could someone tell me whether it is possible to only view the comps which you have not either entered or skipped by changing your thread settings, or is it just a case of going through the comps and moving past the ones you have already marked? Sorry I am not very computer savvy with this type of thing!
Won competition from this site but no prize received
I am not sure of the protocol regarding naming a competition I won but never received a prize for. I won a Mickey Mouse Halloween competition and I have been unable to get any reply to my emails to the blogger. I would like to know if anyone else has had problems but am reluctant to name her as you do not know what…

Tech minded - what do I need to reinstall?
My laptop completely crashed yesterday and I had to reset it. Now I find I can't see pics on some sites like Buzzfeed, and I can't see the comping widget on some advents like Daily Mirror. Is there some obvious thing I need to reinstall? I lost nearly everything, horrible timing!
Band new and confused about PayPal
Hi guys. As said in the thread title I'm brand new to this and while I've read the guide and had a search in the forum - may be doing it wrong - I have a question. I've followed the advice about setting up a separate email account for entering comps but my PayPal is under a different address. Would this cause a problem do…
