Roboform is good but seems to have issues with some forms.. I changed mine to have House no, address 1, address 2 etc no it fills in forms correctly.

I can't use Roboform as it doesn't work on Mac's

I agree there are tons of comps on here, I used to do comping before work, at lunch time, after work and before bed. I am addicted!

I get a bit disheartened to be honest. I treat wins as a bonus, but what frustrates me is the fact that I probably enter about 50 a day, and can't work out how to enter 150-200 that some people enter - I simply can't find that many!

There are 1000's on here, but sadly the way the forums sorts.. .

ie 13/02, 13/03 rather than 13/02, 14/02 etc... its makes it harder to find any soon to expire comps.. This is why the USA Date format of mm/dd works better.

As I say its better to only enter for prizes you want.. and comping is hard when you have a full time (18 hour a day) job..

I'm a stay at home mum who doesnt get out much,lol. No idea how many comps I'll be entering when kids are all older and at school.Just a suggestion if time is a huge factor for you-twitter comps are very quick and easy to enter takes a bit of getting used to and takes a while to build up people to follow you but I am really loving twitter at the mo.Good luck,hope you get some nice wins soon.xx
ps you must have been luckier or more determined than me as I only got footbal mag subscription in the barclays comp and I put a lot of time into it.My current aim is to win in the asos comp,currently must have over 50 entries in it but nada.

pkc do u search using the end date view button sooo easy to find the comps ending soon,

i get disheartened i am sure all compers do at some point, but the little wins keep us goin and everyone else on the boards who post in iwiwiw give us all a boost too, my lappy is never off i comp all day between cleaning and feeding the kids havnt had a win in ages though i can feel a nice one coming soon though

think the trick is not to see it as a chore and enjoy it once u feel as though u have to keep goin then maybe take a break for a week or two some ppl even say thats when they get wins thru the door

Can we share twitter details as i've only just started twitter. I'm slowly getting the hang of it but i'd like some people to interact with. @bulletbex
I've only started comping November 2010 i've won a few items and it's such a buzz. Comping gives me an opportunity to spend some time on myself while hoping to win the things i'd like to buy myself if i could.
I'm so grateful for all the posters! xxx:beer:

Nope use the Buttons at the top... if the line was E:14/02 then you could search for that string but the search from my experience find 14 E: / 02 not a string..

Maybe at some point mse could have END DATE field which allows a calender to be used!


As for twitter I have several accounts, but I don't think people would want to follow me as I mainly tweet breaking news and WWE/TNA stuff!

Hi
Apologies for posting here but I wasnt sure where to ask for help.
I am wondering if anyone can help me with a query regarding a comp on a forum. It was posted at the beginning of jan as a new comp and an end date was given of the 31st jan. About a week after the end date i checked the forum and there had only been two posts in the comp so i email the admin to ask who had won. A few days later I got a response that there had been a problem getting the prize and they were extending the length of the comp.
It seems really unfair and I was wondering if they are able to do that as there are now new t&c stating the comp ends feb 28th

Any advice would be great
