Open Sesame
Open Sesame is a new feature (idea and request from Beeline!) that enables you to open all ‘web entry pages’ (where it exists in the
entry web site address for a thread) competitions listed on specific Premium reports in new browser tabbed windows (recommended) or new browser
windows with one click of the Open Sesame text link! When used in conjunction with roboform it will be a great time saver!
Open Sesame is currently available for the following Premium reports:

Tips:
Pop-up blockers will prevent Open Sesame from working properly.
If you click on the Open Sesame link and nothing happens, either you have no web entry competitions marked as entered, or a pop-up
blocker is preventing new tabbed windows or new browser windows from opening. Simply add lottos.com.au to your pop-up blocker's exception list.
Internet Explorer:
To add lottos.com.au to Internet Explorer's built-in pop-up blocker exceptions, go to Tools > Internet Options
> Privacy and click on the Settings... button in the Pop-up Blocker section. Put
lottos.com.au in the box underneath where it says Address of Web site to allow and click the Add button.
Click the Close button, then the OK button and you're done.
Firefox: (recommended browser)
To add lottos.com.au to Firefox's built-in pop-up blocker exceptions, go to Tools > Options and click on the
Content tab. In the Block Pop-up Windows Exceptions section, put lottos.com.au in the box
underneath where it says Address of Web site and click the Allow button. Click the Close button,
then the OK button and you're done. Other pop-up blockers should have very similar procedures.
Adjust the number of threads/topics listed on Premium reports.
The older your computer is and the less memory (RAM) your computer has available will affect how many browser tabbed windows (recommended) or new
windows your computer will be able to open and display at one time. By default, the number of threads on Premium reports that have the Open
Sesame option are limited to a maximum 20 per page, irrespective of what you set in your profile. Using Open Sesame, older
computers with little memory may not be able to open and display 20 web entry forms in 20 tabbed browser windows or in new browser windows at the same
time without crashing or hanging. However, you can go to the Control Panel page, edit your profile and change the number of threads/topics displayed
per page to lower than 20, eg 15 or 10. Doing this will limit the threads displayed to your setting on all Premium reports, however if your pc handles
20 threads per page, then only Open Sesame reports will be limited to 20, all others will be as per your profile setting.
Tabs:
Most browsers have a tabs feature. Tabs enable you to open web pages in tabs instead of whole new browser windows. A single browser window can contain
multiple tabs which generally makes it much easier to switch back and forth between multiple web pages.
Internet Explorer 7:
To set the option in IE 7 that will cause pop-ups to open in new tabs instead of windows, go to Tools and then Internet
Options. Find the Tabs section and click on the Settings button. In the When a pop-up is
encountered: section select the Always open pop-ups in a new tab option. Click on the two OK buttons and
you're all set.
Firefox: (recommended browser)
To set the option in Firefox that will cause pop-ups to open in new tabs instead of windows, go to Tools and then
Options. Find the Tabs section and click. In the New pages should be opened in: section select the
a new tab option. Click on the OK button and you're all set.
