    Hi All, Im having a funny 5 minutes. I was wondering who uses Firefox and who uses I.E ? Its just i really havent had a win, win in ages!! However if i enter the odd 1 or 2 competitions for friends or family via I.E they seem to have a win even if its a little one. So now im convinced its my firefox but i use it because its easier and faster.

    Im paranoid im blocked from winning anything lol!!

    I totally feel the same!! I have started entering comps in my OH's name and email cs I think mine may have been used too much, I have barely won anything this year and have been entering nearly 1000 more a month, including postals and regulars. I just think random.org totally hates me!! I just think more people are entering this year, eventually we'll all win once a year!! xx
    :) xx JoJo xx :)

    Afternoon peeps :D

    Hope your all well??
  • Hello, hope you are all well!
    Just wanted to ask a quickie question if thats ok -
    Do any of you use ff to hide your referal links when you enter comps?

    i have been doing this for the last 6 months or so but i think i am winning less than when they could see i was coming from here or the ducks, not sure if its just a blip(i know the start of this year has been slow for many).
    Anyone else's opinion would be good!

    I didn't even know you could do that!!! I try doing it where possible & for the sites I know dont like it. I think you would stand a better chance of winning doing it your way!! I think it's just a genuine lack of wins all round xx

    Yep, i thought that might be the case, its just a bit slow at the moment!!
    hopefully the wins will start coming in faster soon!!
    just for your info if you want to try it:

    In Firefox you can disable and block the passing of HTTP Referrer headers -
    Open Firefox, and on address bar type about:config and press enter.
    Look for config key network.http.sendRefererHeader and double click on it and change the value from 2 to 0.

    So next time you open up a link, it’ll block the referrer URL to be passed to that website

    Yikes,

    I just downloaded the latest version of FF and it doesn't seem to be compatible with Roboform:eek::eek:

    Anyone else noticed the same thing?
