Competitions Discussion Thread Part 17

zombieslayer25

I have another 2 questions, sorry.

1) Can I enter a comp on a local radio/TV/newspaper that is not local to me? Obviously I wouldn't if it was for tickets to local events or for prizes to be collected, but say for money or goods?

2) can I enter comps that are aimed at specific people that Im not one of? For example, if I see a comp where the website is aimed for over 60's (Im 33) can I still enter?

Thanks

I used the method below for doing the end of the month comps last month and had over 1,200 tabs open without any degradation to the browser or memory this helped me to zip through the comps and I managed to get through all 1,200+ comps the same day! :eek:

For those of you who have updated to the latest Firefox and have found that the add-on Bartab no longer works

there is a Bartab like feature built into the latest Firefox browser click on Tools-Options-General and select "Show my windows and tabs from last time" and tick "dont load tabs until selected"

once you have done this you can select any number of links to open into Firefox tabs the only snag is that to get the "dont load tabs until selected" thing to work is that you have to let the tabs partially load into the browser then close the browser and re-start

when you re-start all of the tabs will appear greyed out until you click on them

the best thing is if you close the browser down the tabs will reappear the next time you open your browser - note this will only work if you do not clear your browsing history

hope this helps

Thanks for the tip. Does roboform work with this latest version of firefox? I've left it on an older version in case it doesnt work.

Think that you may need to bite the bullet and upgrade to Firefox 12 or Firefox 13 beta then upgrade Roboform after

if you have any problems, you can always re-install your previous version of Firefox here

Was thinking earlier, not seen Al Mac around for ages, is he still about? When I first started comping several years ago he was always posting on the comps board, wonder where he's gone.
