    I use Autofill on my Firefox & it is brilliant :) Tell it what it needs to put in & for a lot of the forms it fills virtually everything in.

    Then for the sites which Autofill doesn't work on (as the form to complete is a flash animation or something) I have AutoHotKey - which is beyond amazing! :D Again I've assigned Alt + a number key to represent my first name, last name, line 1 of address etc even have alt= to put on my full address.

    I have to say that I couldn't enter as many comps as I do each day without these 2 handy tools.

    I also have snaplinks I think it is which means I go to the main thread page & right click a drag a big green box around the thread names & it opens each thread in a new tab - blooming amazing :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    WOO HOO! I was sent this website that you can download for free. It automatically types in your details for you, anything you do with your name password address or whatever you want to save on your profile it will do it for you automatically. Check it out! www.roboform.com
    :T P.S no wins yet but I can do comps quicker!
