    Hi everyone, I have just discovered this thread and want to start entering, I have a couple of questions if anyone could help

    I have installed Roboform but it dosnt seem to fill in all the details I stored for example phone number and dob - any ideas?

    I would like to enter regular comps for example Take a Break, is there a limit how many times you can enter this and other mag comps either online or by post I cant seem to find this info in the t&cs in Take a Break

    I have read the guide at the begining of this thread which has been of much help but any other suggestions would be great, I have plenty of time to be able to do this and hope to enter regular comps as much as possible

    Thanks, thats it for now any help would be much appreciated

    well it normally does fill in the details unless its some flash site
    its not 100% acurate and is not perfect
    it does have its flaws but saves alot of time
    and should be in the discussion thread

    and you want to know how many you enter

    well this is an ethics question and I only enter once for all comps but thats up to you i suppose

    I am a newbie to comping - on average how many competitions a day does everyone enter and how often do you win?

    Hi
    Am new to internet comps! How often does everyone win compared to number entered? Does everyone enter all the comps on the daily list?

    glowgirl, Roboform usually works quite well. Make sure you have entered all the fields and that you have looked at all the options. Remember to save your details as well.

    Welcome to MSE competitions, it's good fun and the people are friendly, although some of them seem to keep strange hours!

    hi you could also try the google toolbar it has a autofill plus click on the thanks button on each comp you enter to thank the person who posted and it lets you no if you have enterd before good luck and welcome to the MSE

    I use autofill too, although with some comps you have to check it as it puts your email in where your phone number should be .... It's fine apart from the odd comp though.

    How many times you decide to enter the comp is debatable, but it's up to you. I enter once as I spend more hours on here than I'd care to admit, I wouldn't personally waste my time putting all my eggs in one basket.

    Welcome to MSE and good luck :D
