E: 20/12 Guiness fridge - having a shot today

bs7

if anyone's wondering how to 'fiddle' it, here's a few tips:

If you use Internet Explorer - IECookiesView v1.70 - search for the cookie with 'tinsfortat' then modify the value using the 'edit the cookie's content' option - this can change the number of votes from 5 at a time to a million.

Alternatively with Firefox - try the addon called TamperData - and modify the information set by the cookie that way to achieve the same thing.


To attempt some automation of the clicking - try Iopus - they've got a free addon for Firefox (iMacros for Firefox) or alternatively a 30 day free trial of their full software.

I wouldn't want to fiddle it though. I'd like to win, of course, but by fair means.

All the cheats are spoiling it for the honest people in this competition. I only hope Guinness can tell who's been rigging their votes and who hasn't.

bs7 you should probably delete the content of that post, wouldn't want you to get in trouble in any way.

I'm not suggesting people do it, i'm only pointing out how it's being done. Their website merely uses a number in a cookie to identify how many votes have been made. Obviously people are changing it to allow unlimited votes. If a mod wants to delete it - obviously they can do so.

If you know the way to cheat, its making it a level playing field with the cheats.

This is my tat if anyone wants to vote for it. I'm not holding out much hope though as the winners are getting thousands of votes:)

I've got it over 8,000 now Annie, I hope this is enough.

Sure it's cheating but so it seems is everyone else who's won recently.

Believe me clicking a mouse 8,000+ times is no picnic. :eek:

Thanks dialectic. It would be great to win - I don't want to appear to be a hypocrite though
