    Serious Suggestion Worth Considering

    Well i reckon anyway!

    Put a link to Microsofts VB Service Pack5 download or whatever the latest is!
    Especially in the Database Forum!

    This would help immensly!

    Having just assisted in answering this question yet again, I'm adding my support.
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".

    It shows how little attention I pay to my post count that I've only just noticed I'm nearly at 4096 and "Throbbing Member" status

    Well ...

    Enjoying yourselves at poor honeybee's expense? *wipes his eyes*

    There is another legal way of increasing your post count. I don't think this should be allowed, but what the heck. Everybody is making fun of me, so here's some more food for ya.

    The Communication Area is another place which adds to your post count. I have realized this since we started building the VB-World members' site.

    Use meaningfull thread titles. And add "[Resolved]" in the thread title when you have got a satisfactory response.
    And if that response was mine, please think about giving me a rep. I like to collect them!

    It's true.

    The comms forum is where the majority of Behemoth and I's sperm count, errrrr I mean post count resides. That and the Sentience thread...

    Clearly having fun and private jokes constitutes "illegal".

    Parksie

    lol...............am only 3000 or so posts away from anti-Guru status, unless John wants to step it.

    John

    Just stop banging your head against your desk. I will not be diverted from this noble aim.

    I think The legal way to get high post count is by helping other people.

    Thanks all for your help.

    And anyone that can get john to change the search to include 3 letter words - at least when you have another word too - then give it a try.

    Well, now if you have a .45 Calibre, and know where Mr. John Percival resides, you could overtake Megatron in a couple of seconds!

    Jethro, having fun and private jokes on the help forums does constitute illegal ways of increasing your post count from my point of view, but I think I shall leave out you guys who already have too many posts to bother about the count.

    Honeybee's growin' up, whaddya say?

    Maybe legal if you accept that definition, which l don't think has been printed anywhere here on the forums. But in enforcing this, the site just becomes another programming venue, which makes it less appealling to visit.

    Try www.blitzbasic.com to see what l mean by boring, not-interesting etc sites. Generally the humour is posted at some one who gets the meaning behind the statement. Ergo that's whu you occassionally see a weird post of thread. Like they say in the anti-censorship lit, if you don't like it then don't read it.

    The only time when allowed to post Jus Whatever Flies Thru Your Head - Is after answering a somone a quistion that was already asked tons of times on this forum.
