    I'm here at work, here at home, here all the time. But I can stop when-ever I want, honest !!! Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

      I have it on most of the time at work and at home when I'm on my machine. As the only full time programmer where I currently work, I miss the background conversations with other programmers while I work. I am always amazed at how much I learn in question time just keeping track of the responses, ever after all these years of windows programming I pick up something new at least once a week. I honestly try to stay out of the lounge but I'm just such an argumentative, opinionated old fart I sometimes just can't help myself. Even then, I usually don't respond unless I'm involved in some kind of mind numbing maintenance work of some kind. I'm home sick today, so thats my excuse now ;)

              I guess I'll put my hand up too (but that's a given, right? ;)) So the big question here is: what do you want more of, better of, or less of. (Disclaimer: there's only 24hrs in a day so I can't do everything - BUT I will try and concentrate on those things that are most important.) cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

              I'm definately addicted to CP. Whether it's just to check out what everyone else is up to, to find a solution, help someone out, or writing articles. I just can't keep away. Chris, is the Submission Wizard a quicker and more effective way to get articles published? What does everyone think of "Unedited Reader Contributions" compared to 'standard' articles? How long does it take for a 'Wizard' article to become a 'Standard' article? Derek Lakin. Salamander Software Ltd.

                Chris, is the Submission Wizard a quicker and more effective way to get articles published? I'm glad you asked! (anyone from Oz fans of the Curiosity Show?) I've just reworked the submission wizard so that it's now about 10X quicker for me (or anyone I drag into helping out) to edit and move articles into the main sections. Becuase of this my preference is definitely to have people submit their articles initially using the wizard. If you need to update articles then the changes mean I can get your updates posted much quicker. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

                          Chris, you do a terrific job. I'm addicted as well. :-) I have one request: Could you add a feature to allow someone to type in an ID for a message and jump to it? It would be nice to say "This topic was discussed already in message #xxx" and then be able to have another person type that ID in to jump to the message. I'm thinking of all the lost answers in the forums. Currently, the VC++ forum is treated like a giant newsgroup, even though every message is saved. The problem is that it's very hard to find an old thread. CodeGuy The WTL newsgroup: 880 members and growing ... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wtl

                            I'm not addicted. I feel that without my guidance, everyone here would fall victim to becoming bland, opinionless, god-worshipping drones. Therefore, I monitor the goings on here, ready to step in when needed. :)

                                        Hmm... well, i've been gone from CP for a while, and the thing that strikes me the most is "Overload". While I love the way the forums work, I think it would be better if when you went into a forum, you saw the list of threads instead of each message in all threads. Then when you click on a thread, you can see all the messages in that thread just like we have today, but only the messages in that thread are listed. This makes it easier to ignore threads i'm not interested in following (like Socc.. er i mean football threads ;) ) When you're gone for a few weeks, trying to catch up becomes "Overload".
