Roboform links & Q&A

Can we sticky this? So many people have Roboform questions. I am going to start using Robo soon and would like to begin a discussion on the program.

When using Roboform, do you use the bookmarks functions, or do you open links using MySweeps? Some of the sweeps links don't go directly to the login, so I imagine Robo would hold the link to the right place.

Do the Robo bookmarks open all at once, as tabs?

Re: Roboform links & Q&A

Doesn't Roboform have a function to automatically uncheck boxes? I'm looking and can't find this function.
 
Re: Roboform links & Q&A

If you go to Options, Context Menu from Roboform there are a couple of clearing options.
 
Re: Roboform links & Q&A

"Alt +" will check the "No" boxes or the boxes in the right column or all the boxes depending on the form.

"Alt 0" will uncheck and clear out everything.

Is this available as a default function? I went to the Options menu as Admin said, and didn't know what to click to turn it on.

Maybe, I'm lost here; but I have no idea if you're talking about Roboform Pro or something else!! :scratch: :crazytongue:

"Alt 0" and "Alt =" are Roboform Pro features. If you're running Roboform Pro, it works just like that. You don't have to go into anything. You just do the "Alt" thingy, and it's done! :coffee:

Yes, I'm using Pro. I'll try out your Alt thingy right now. Thanks.
 
Re: Roboform links & Q&A

Yes, I think it all depends on the form. Some times Alt + or Alt - . My directions were to add the button to your Robo form toolbar to automaticly check the boxes. So you would just click the set or clear fields button. :)

I wish fill and submit worked at Womans Day. That function brings up a search page, and I have to always manually submit to get the confirmation.

It does work with those. It could be your computer. When's the last time you cleaned it up--delete history, delete cookies, delete temporary files, run clean disk, run defrag, and run spyware?

I have never done these as it's a new computer. I don't even know how, as I'm primarily a Mac user. I didn't even know how to shut down until a few days ago. :scratch:
 
Re: Roboform links & Q&A

Yikes!! All computers have to be cleaned out on a regular schedule. If you don't, your computer starts to bog down and mess up. A clean computer really makes a difference in sweeping faster and with less problems.

Uh, oh. Macs don't need this kind of TLC. I guess I had better learn to be a better Toshiba mommy.

Macs need to be cleaned out too. They also store unnecessary stuff like files, cookies, etc.

I'm not sure if this is the proper area for this thread but I wanted to make sure everyone that uses Robo Pro sees it. I noticed several folks in another thread mentioned they write their codes and upc's on paper to keep track.


If you enter directly from your Robo logins on your toolbar like I do, safenotes are very helpful to use. When you have a sweeps that uses several upc numbers or like the Quick N Simple site where you need a code word everyday to enter, you can make a safenote and name it the same as your sweepstakes that coordinates with it. Then just do a simple copy and paste of them to the safenote. That way, you don't have to worry about losing your papers with all your notes and codes written down or going to the sweeps websites and doing a search everyday.



I hope this is helpful information for someone and not a repeat of someone else's. I looked at the Robo thread and didn't see anything about safenotes there before I wrote this.

The reason this is happening is that there are two search fields at the top of the entry page, and Roboform has been submitting from one of them. Clear both fields and resave to the same passcard, and it will work fine.
 
Re: Roboform links & Q&A

I was able to figure out how to fix the Womans Day submit problem I was having, where it would do a search instead of submitting. I edited the passcard, removing the search field entirely. Submit was already forced to the bottom button, and it goes through fine now.
 
Re: Roboform links & Q&A

I have been using roboform pro and I don't understand one thing about it. Sometime just double clicking on the passcard automatically fills and submits the page for me, and sometimes it doesnt, it just goes to the page and then I have to click fill and submit at the top from the passcard button at top.

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. For instance, one day a sweepstakes will fill and submit automatically, next couple days will have to do fill and submit once the page is brought up on the same sweeps, then a day later will fill and submit automatically again??

Does anyone know why this would happen?
