    i am pretty new to competitions and still waiting for my first win

    in a few bonds i have seen mention of using bots.

    just wondering what are these exactly and do people use them to gain an advantage.

    many thanks

    I think "Bots" may be such as Roboform.This fills a form in with just one mouse click.The advantage is purely one of time saving therefore giving users the ability to enter more.
    I'll pm to get this moved to discussion.Sent to dalkirst

    Bonds might mean terms and conditions xx

    The bot thing i took as meaning an automated bot which trawls the net for forms and fills and enters for u xx

    A bit like the bot lindekin use to collate all our info even though we never have signed up to them xxx

    this is wiki'd defintion of a bot xx

    I thought along the same lines toniq but plumped on roboform.I know what you mean,like a web crawler that gleans info & email address details.

    Hi all

    New to comps too :) Just wondering if you can help me, I have found a comp to share, how do I make my link a 'clicky' link rather than the really link?

    TIA

    Type Clicky. Highlight it. Then click the little icon that looks like a globe and a paper clip, paste your link in the box that pops up and its done :)
