    Question Time spent in the forum

    This forum should have a health warning. I keep finding myself being drawn back to it to see what is going on (it now has a permanent tab open on my browser), and am wondering if anyone else feels it slowly taking up more and more of their time.

    (it's all good stuff though)

    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    Re: Time spent in the forum

    I tend to have the forums open in a tab and randomly flick to them during the day...it would be scary to see the amount of time I'm actually logged in here.

    *EDIT* Shouldn't this be in the cafe?

    Re: Time spent in the forum

    Apologies for putting the thread in the General Help area.
    I tend to just surf the help sections so was living in ignorance of tha cafe (though I think this will now make my time spent in the forum even worse).
    If someone knows how to move a thread then I'll gladly shift it!

    I thought I was a true geek until I hit upon your post. Now I'm back where I should be... especially with my new Ubuntu menu and search engines!

    Thanks for the great links!

    Re: Time spent in the forum

    at first i just read the forums, but then i realized that by browsing these pages so much i actually developed quite a neck for finding solutions for problems. so then i started posting and finding the answers in already written posts on this forum.
    i give at least 3 hours daily to this forum. i hope i don't get addicted to it though
