I used an extension this time called "Magical Text Expander". Just had 1(CODE 1), A(POSTCODE 1), 2(CODE2), B(POSTCODE2)..etc. It got me through the reg page lightning fast as all I had to type was 1A,2B,3C,4D,5E,6F.

 

Also on IOS settings there's a keyboard "shortcut" thing which basically does the same.

Can this be used on mobile devices?

Anyone got a direct link for tickets.

If you are on Apple 

No idea about Android but it should be possible

I've got an Autorefresh app set up on my laptop now. Using shortcodes on iPhone and iPad - is there any way I can set up a similar system on my laptop?

Can anyone, that got to that stage on Thursday, confirm if the billing address details are auto filled with the lead bookers address on the payment page?

Yes

Make sure you login to your laptop/computer today and make sure it works OK, you don't want any Windows updates tomorrow! And it's fully charges up

And check you have enough money on your credit card/bank account today. 

Have all the details, reg numbers and post codes, then your card details Inc expiry and CVC code, so you don't faff around for them if you get to the right pages. Or use process above re shortcuts or have then in a spreadsheet/document where you can copy and paste them in. They will be in the order reg1, post code1, reg2 postcode 2, etc. That's all you need on that page, then the payment page will appear

I am now confused i thought you could use anyone's card details, didn't think it had to be the lead bookers! I dont remember a billing address coming up before.

I think I remember years ago the registration form refusing to accept post codes if they weren't formatted exactly how it expected them.  Does anyone know if thats still the case?  Our group registration details seem to have post codes with a mix of spaces and no spaces

(Apologies if already asked and answered, its a big thread)

Not sure if it helps but i always use as many devices and ifferent networks as possible, so one over WiFi and others on as many different 4g networks/ as possible and have one connect to work network if you can. If you have more than one computer coneect one to your mobile 4g via a WiFi hotspot, if the speed of that connection s OK, my mobile phone speed is faster than my home broadband. Do broadband  speed tess on all the connections so know which ones you can rely on tomorrow

Open as many tabs and different browsers as you can but still see them all on the screen at the same time so can notice if any individual tab changes. Don't over fill the screen, in case you miss it if one changes. Have one device where you're hammering F5 rather than waiting for it to auto refresh every 20 seconds. Try and refresh the other devices but you might want to leave them to auto fresh so you can concentrate on one device.

You can use anyone's card, it doesn't have to be the lead booker

What's everyone's plan of attack for tomorrow then? I'll be reducing my no. of devices to 1 phone and 1 laptop with two different browser windows. I had 4 devices on the go on Thursday and my ADHD brain couldn't cope – learnt my lesson and simplifying my approach!

desktop with chrome + incognito both auto refreshing
work laptop on VPN manually refreshing
phone on 4g refreshing when I remember

All the reg details and bank card details in notepad++ ready to be pasted in

You can definitely use anyones. Was just wondering if the lead bookers info is auto filled there by default.

Something to be aware of, for the keyboard text replacement for the postcode field (on the iPhone), I had to double tap the shift key before typing in the characters otherwise it wouldn’t do the text replacement (didn’t test any further).

Worked fine for the registration.

Set your alarm clock in the unlikely event you might not wake up in time!

I thought having multiple tabs and browsers was discouraged as it confuses the system + can cause your transaction to fail??? I could be wrong, this thread is 114 pages now. I can’t keep up 😂
