You could try the Google Autofil on the Google toolbar. That's what I use all the time, I don't have Linux tho'.

I use Autofill - it gets the job done if you take the time to configure it correctly. I've found the best method is to add some forms as complete profiles, but with others you need to add extra fields to the general profile.

If you really want Roboform for Linux though, be sure to email the company to request it. I've heard that they won't even consider the idea, but if people keep hassling them, you never know!

I'm getting increasingly confused by these 2 boards. Afaik the system used to be that all comps with an end date went on the main board, with an additional post on the weekly/daily thread if appropriate (or a pm to Gilla to add them) and the only posts on the regular board were the ongoing ones with no end date.

Lately it seems that more and more are being posted on the regular board, which means they're not seen by most people, as I'd guess the majority of people rarely if ever check the regular board.

I know that a lot of the comps allow daily entry, which is why they're included on Gilla's daily thread, but that's personal choice. It's not necessary to enter them daily to be entered. A lot of people - especially those short of time - may prefer to enter these comps just once, but because they're not on the main board, they never see them.

Surely it's giving the BGs more work to do in going through 2 boards to remove closed comps?

Sorry to pick on one thread, but take this as an example

It was posted on the regular board as a daily, and only thanked by 24 people - propably would have been seen/entered by 10 times more people if it had been on the main board with a link on the daily thread. The comp actually finished yesterday, but because the title just says 'daily' there's no way of knowing this without clicking the link and visiting the site.

There's a definite cross over between the boards, as the Glamour daily comp is on the main board, but the Sugar daily one is on the regular board.

I'm very confused

Cheeky, thanks for that post...I agree with you. TBH I never look at the Regulars board. I know that's my responsbility to do but still, there's lots of comps people miss out on and it is confusing when Sugar was moved there but Glamour is on the main board.

I know what you mean Cheeky... I'm a bit confused by regulars board tbh although I do enter a lot of them, thing is its hard because you can never tell which are also posted on main board & which are not.

I used to post a couple of comps on the main board which had an end date but were regulars, but I don't post them now because when I do someone replies saying this is or should be in regulars not main.... but thing is they have a totally different prize each month & an end date & a different question so I think a lot of people would appriciate them being on main board & just linked to Gillas lists

Totally agree with you CC. Very confusing.
I rarely look at the regulars and presumably miss out on a number of comps.
Most monthly comps have a specified end date and should only be on the main board but it seems that some people think that because they are held regularly every month, they should be on the regular board. Many now end getting duplicated, once on each board.
