Roboform Pro - Captcha filler (beta)

As I have had Roboform Pro for some years now, I am occasionally asked by them to assess their beta (next release) version for them.
I must confess I normally decline most of them but in this instance I have been trying it out.

I’m surprised how good it is.

Most of us are probably aware that when completing the Captcha field manually, you just need to select ONE of the words offered. But that word must be five or more characters long.
For various reasons that word doesn’t always have to be entered correctly for it to complete successfully

When Roboform completes a form with a Captcha field in it, it just completes one of the five letter words. Roboform keeps a list of most of them but not all. If the word offered by Captcha is not within the Roboform list, Roboform refreshes Captcha automatically until it matches up. Sometimes it goes through a long list but I have yet to see it take longer than one second

I just wondered if anyone else had tried the version with Captcha filler. I use it for all the ITV comps successfully but occasionally it fails on Real Deal, but doing another “Fill and Submit” normally gets it working.

If anyone else is using this version, I’d be interested to know if you have the same problem

Hello,

Just a quick little question, and probably a really dumb one at that! lol, but I was just wondering how you do the strike through on your typing?? I have seen people doing it all over the forums but can't see how to do it at all, neither can I remember from my college days!

TIA!

[strike]Like this??[/strike] it's so simple you'll kick yourself! just [STRIKE ] text to strike through [ /STRIKE] remove spaces. There's also a button when you're posting - far right

Good luck! If you haven't already done so, I'd recommend reading - or at least skimming - through Velvet Glove's fab comping guide sticky post. Lots of hints and tips about speeding up your comp entering, which sites to avoid etc

no - I am uptodate with the board so just do the new ones posted each day and I still have about 10 pages a day minimum (I have it set to 20 threads/page) - usually it gets a bit busier at the beginning of the month too.

Maybe you are just becoming fussier in the comps you choose to enter?

Has anyone entered the comps on the GM.tv site?

I was always dubious about TV comps as most of the time it is about the company making even more money from you than it is about giving viewers a real change to win ..erm, for want of a better word, game of chance. Ok so what's my point I hear you ask.

Ever since GMTV got done for fixing comps I have been a little more watchful about entering their bloody comps. As for the reasons mentioned above i.e. they are really a shallow money making exercise for them but using a premium rate number. What about the free web entry you say. Well have you used this silly thing? Where is the question. How do I pick an answer if I don't know what the question is????

So GMTV, clean up your act. You are all ready on a bad foot from the game fixing last year.

Am I wrong to expect this? More importantly has anyone ever won using the web entry form?
