I haven't won for a while -at least 4-5 months. In fact, I don't hear of many people on here winning much either now. I don't know whether it's because they have done away with all the captchas

Probably, it allows automated entry and the likes of the "pay to enter" mob to chuck 20,000 plus entries at every single entry route every day.

I have tried to do this, i copied and pasted the text, went to click to wins, nothing happened, then all my programs and control panel opened, then started deleting programs and all sorts :eek:

I don't know what i did, i thought i'd broken my laptop, i had to power off and deleted the programme in safe mode, lol

What a nightmare

If anyone has the time to explain how to do it in simple steps, i would be most grateful

Thanks

Were you manually moving the mouse when the macro was running? I should probably have mentioned that you shouldn't be moving the mouse when the macro is running. The macro relies on the fact that the "Enter This Competition" button more or less stays in the same place across the pages.

As for the deleting of programs, I'm baffled. There's nothing in the script that should do anything of the sort.

I think i panicked and pressing backspace, windows and all sorts to stop it

So if i follow the steps again, i have to have all the tabs open then start it, it should then work?

Also, can you not open any other pages while its running, like read emails etc?

Thanks

I actually agree that they should bring the captchas back. I don't like them, but as mjm mentioned, they stop the pay to enter mob.

I had to limit the loop to 50 as it wouldn't stop and my laptop went a bit bonkers. It is very handy for the bigger publications but I am sticking to the old fashioned way for the smaller ones. Still greatly apprecaited though

Yeah, you should have the tabs already open like this

and you should be on the first C2W tab.

The competition title in the above example (Win 3 x family ticket...) fits on one line so you place your mouse cursor over the yellow area on the green button. If the competition title goes over two lines, place the cursor on the top half of the button.

Once you're set up, hit Alt +C.

You won't be able to use your computer when the macro is running since it requires the mouse to be stationary and the browser window to be open (though you can stop the script with Ctrl + Alt + R if necessary). I always have something playing in the background when I'm entering C2Ws this way to alleviate the boredom.

Thanks for all this info, SpaceyKevin :beer:

I'd really like to try it but just want to check a couple of things first, if you don't mind

Do we simply paste the entire 'script' exactly as you have written it (per below) into the AHK text box?

Do I need to close all other tabs and only have the C2W tabs open, or can I just set up the C2W in a new set of tabs, wait for the macro to finish, then close it and return to my original tabs?

Lastly, will the AHT finish automatically once each of the C2Ws have been 'entered'? Or do I need to manually close it?

Thanks in advance for your help :A

; ; ; ; ;
^!r::Reload ; Reloads the Autohotkey script

!c:: ; Alt + C activates the macro
loop ; Loop begins
{
click ; Sends a mouse click
send ^{tab} ; Moves onto the next tab
sleep 1500 ; Waits 1.5 seconds
ifwinactive, New Tab ; Checks if the "New Tab" tab is currently active
break ; Stops the loop if the "New Tab" tab is active
}
return

The vital parts of the script are enclosed between the two ; ; ; ; ; and should be copied into the ahk text file. You can add your own macros to the same script without any interference (unless you try to assign the same keyboard shortcuts for two different macros). I have hundreds of macros in my ahk text file :money:!

You don't need to close any tabs before running the macro. Just open up a new browser window and open up the C2W pages as described in my previous post.

This macro isn't sophisticated enough to close the pages once it's submitted the entries. I had to write two separate macros just to close the tabs; the C2W sites behave in one of two ways when you click the "Enter..." button, hence, the two tab-closing macros.

Not sure what I am doing wrong but it goes from tab to tab but does not seem to enter any

Will have to have another go tomorrow
