You don't have to memorize any shortcode for your forms. The correspong shortcode for each form is generated dynamically when you create a new form and they are always available in the "Forms" section under "Data Storage" menu page.
If you ever had a question,suggestions, comments or just wanted to say hi, you're always welcome to drop me a line.

Note: In some rare cases, when you reorder the form fields in the backend and delete/edit the fields at the same time, the order that you see in the backend might not be the same order that you see in the frontend. So check the frontend to make sure it has the same order that you see in the backend. This is just happening in rare cases and only in a particular condition.
