    Hi Fearn. I've always used Roboform for ITV comps and had 1 win (not a cash win :(). I think its just automated entries they don't like.
    Good things come to those who comp:D

    you really helped as I thought automated was robo form and now feel ok to enter without the time consuming filling in of every line

    It does sound that way, doesn't it. I'm nearly certain that when they talk about automated entries they're talking about automatically entering the comps, not about the method of filling in the forms. It's about stopping cheating by using software to enter a comp over and over. GL :)

    i use roboform and was very lucky to win last year. They have since changed the form, but I don't think anything has changed in regards to roboform. Its just a form filler, you still have to complete capchas and submit manually. good luck x

    I don't think any site would disqualify you because you use Roboform. Most browsers have form filling capabilities anyway.
    What they try to ban are those who enter comps using special scripts to enable them to enter without even visiting the website.

    Surely the capture image would stop auto filler software.

    Thanks for useful posts :T,
    I was bit concern as I sometime using "double click" on the fields of form, then word come up (from previous entries in the past) and click that to filled in that field, so on
    Depend on which competition forms as some allow me to do this, some does not, hence to using robo form.

    As I am not sure if that what script mean? I do not know if my browser stored my filled fields can be refer as the script? Hope you know what I mean? :o
