    Glad is the only BG online so maybe PM and ask her?
    I agree, it can be annoying

    glad always seems to be the only bg on here online most of the time :rotfl:

    & here we go again :(

    for the 2nd time in as many days i am browsing page by page trying to find all ending the next day and then ALL of a sudden 13 pages are gone

    one minute i am on
    E: 11/06 WIN tickets....
    next time i click next page and its something like
    E: 11/06 win £100 with....
    and i dont make the connection, its only when i click next page again and it says something like
    E: 13/06 @ 1pm...
    i realise whats happened and wonder where ive got to start again, probably E: 11/06 to be sure i dont miss any

    i dont know whats worse, moving comps to GO early, or shuffling loads of pages for whatever date it is over to GO during "peak times"

    & by that i mean 6pm till midnight when this board is at its most active

    seriously i know theres only 4 of you that are capable of doing the moving, but if none of you can work out a way/schedule between you so as to disrupt this board the least, then may i suggest you get someone else on board that can help

    right rant over now im going back to page ... :think:
    .

    if I'm still up at midnight I try to move to GO over then, otherwise it's when I get in from work usually around 6pm and have already stated that I won't move them early and will try to do it daily so there aren't loads of expired comps on the main board

    but if you want blood I could set my alarm and pop on to do them at 3am
    even then there will be some people comping and their disruption is no more or less important than anyone elses

    Some times maybe we all need to take a step back & appreciate the great resource that we have here in MSE comps.The BG team work as best they can to cover all needs & do a great job.We have a hard core of members that post comps,usually with the answers.We have people who can offer advice on spam sites,scams etc.
    I do not know of another forum that provides all of this.Sometimes I think if one did I would migrate to it ,if it existed,but there is no better that I can see & we should all pull together to ensure that it thrives.

    Just my view of course :-)

    Do I have to pay to use it? I got the impression that other people use it for free? I tried deleting loads of my logins - which I had only set up cos I didnt really understand the system - I use the same password for all comps so dont need a record on Roboform of all the logins! - then I tried downloading roboform again, but every time I try to use it it tells me my trial period has run out!
    Any advice??
    Thanks!

    Just in case anyone asks later - ive sat and watched Loose Women for the whole hour, and even though there is a competition on the website, they did not mention it in the program at all.
    I will watch again tomorrow and hopefully it will be on then :)

    BIG THANKS for the cat's dedication :T

    On the website it now says "Latest Competition - Delayed
    Please note that this week's competition is now due to start on Tuesday, 14th June - please check back again tomorrow".

    Downloading the program again won't do anything other than put another copy of the installation file somewhere on your computer. You need to uninstall the program, clear any registry entries related to roboform, restart the computer then reinstall roboform.

    Am I right in thinking roboform v7 doesn't let you use the program after a certain amount of time as opposed to v6 which was free if you had fewer than 10 logins or passcards?
