    Why do you need a different D.O.B?

    I personally use a different D.O.B just in case of ID fraud, especially on some of the more iffy comp sites.
    You are giving your name, address and email addy, I don't want to divulge much more to be honest.

    Be it right or wrong that's what I do... :)

    Good morning everyone! :D

    Not a good start to the day :( I just logged onto my emails and instantly got around 20 aol mailer-daemon notifications... Then when I went into my sent box there were lots of emails that I hadn't sent out... You've probably seen the ones starting "Hey" and then mentioning a video with a link.

    I definitely haven't clicked on any of those emails myself as I am aware of virus' etc.. So who knows how that's happened? I have been into aol and changed my password immediately. My questions are 1) Will my email now be marked as spam to a lot of the companies that the email went to (competitions etc) and 2) Is there anything else I need to do other than change my password? Any help greatly appreciated. :)

    hiya all

    am thinking of downloading this but as i only want to use myself and to fill in the forms online quicker im thinking of only needing the free version only do you all think that would be fine or what do others use would appreciate your help cheers maz

    download the free one and see how you settle in with comps and robo to start with. i had the free version for 3or4months and got used to it etc and decided im sticking at this comping business before i resorted to paying for their yearly liscence. i didnt find it too difficult to manage with only being allowed ot save the 10forms the free version allows, i just picked the 10 sites i used it for most iyswim, and deleted them as they expired/that comp ended or i needed a new save for a new annoying form. what did it for me in the end this month is entering the mcvities comp, im entering it for a couple of friends as well as for myself (omg im never volunteering to do that again they can blinking well come and use my computer and do it themselves next time) and wanted a third identity storing instead of just the two. if you do decide to upgrade fomr free version to paid version at some point in the future it just adds to the download you already have sort of thing, doesnt mean you have to get another version totally iyswim. good luck, i hope you find the comping fun :)

    paying for their yearly liscence

    Yearly license? Is that cheaper then buying the programme outright? I didn't realise that they did that.

    Can someone give me a little advice about MOTD comps. I have 3 sons & at the moment only my eldest has entered into comps as he is the only one interested. Now the other two want to enter as well.

    Can I use the same email address to enter for my other two or will I disqualfy my first entry?



    thanks in advance
