    Just set Roboform to fill in your username
    you can do this for both mumsnet & gransnet by using the "custom" field .... In the "Field Name" enter mumsnet - then in "Field Value" your username ... then do the same for gransnet

    When you unsubscribe from a company who sends you lots of emails and then you receive an email straight back from them saying 're-subscribe?' - which you hit accidently without thinking! DOH! I've re-subscribed! :(

    When your 'oh so clever I know better than you' autocorrect changes the gobbledegook captcha into something sensible and you don't notice, then the site resets all the tick boxes back to opt in and you don't notice.

  • When you copy and paste your details from your most recent 'sent' email into lots of new email comps that require a phone number and realise you didn't scroll down far enough and copy everything so your phone number was missed out!

    (This happened to nearly 100 of my entries over the past few weeks as I kept copying and pasting from the most recent 'sent one' without realising there was no number until Monday!! )
  • If you set up an email signature this won't happen and you can always delete it if you don't want it on something.
    Shhhhhhh...
  • Thanks - i will find out how to do that!
  • Done!!! I'm not very good at tech and didn't realise I could do it !

    - Thanks so much Dew Green Lady - I've just set it up and sent a test email from my comp account to my main account and it worked.

    You don't know how much time you will save me in the future!! Thank you so much!

    Thank you so much Dew Green Lady. I too have set up details in a signature and it works beautifully.
