          Just curious, rather new in some ways, what exactly does platinum give you. Not to knock your achievement, just curious. Congratulations AAron

              Nothing except a higher weighted vote, and out of 3.7 million users, only 23 are platinum members - looks like a fairly exclusive club...

                Sounds like it is pretty exclusive. That is allot of articles to write, I could barely find time to write one, but have ideas for two or three (All SMO based). So I would prefer that you read my articles and voted higher than non plats because the vote is worth more, Got it. Congrats man, Aaron

                  And I still have at least four more articles in progress. I hope Chris fixes the voting stuff before I finish them.

                    Congratulations :beer: I've skimmed through one of your articles (very tired at the moment) but will definitely read it tomorrow, even though I have never programmed in MFC the article seems to be well written and deserves a read. Also a refreshing style of writing, focusing on getting stuff done rather than getting stuff ready for the future. Incidentally a friend and I were talking about this today driving back home, about these people worried about what will happen to civilization when the sun swallows the earth. Who cares! Who's going to be around to see it in 50 million years :doh:? Not me for sure. Let them worry about it, we've got enough to cope with.


                    I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

                      Cool.  You know, I stopped worrying about article votes a long time ago.  My most 'useful' articles are low voted because they are boring, explain STL stuff.  My articles that people are least likely to use, like the image processing ones, get high votes because they look pretty.  Who cares ? People use them, and that's what I wrote them for.

                        I didn't realise that, I thought the weight was based on raw post/article count, not on rating.

                            I think my first article is in this category, boring and specialized. But you know, this was something I was looking for when I came up with it and frequently asked on the boards at ms. So I guess some of the best articles are not the most popular articles.

                            Preach it, preach it... That is my favorite part of writing articles, I just wish occasionally someone commented or drummed up dialog on the subject. Aaron

                                      Platinum and an MVP. What's next? You've topped out now. Guess this means you'll have to change your username or something. John Simmons / Been There Done It

                                        Just curious, rather new in some ways, what exactly does platinum give you. Not to knock your achievement, just curious. Congratulations AAron
