don't suppose you could elaborate for those antipodeans amongst us who haven't got the faintest clue what you're on about?

Ummmmmmm, the site?

Kinda hard to create an account on a site if the site doesn't exist first.

Haven't we already had a birthday post?

From Graz on 06/25/2002
I wondered if anyone would figure out that today is the second anniversary of our first original article.

Oh really? Would never have guessed!

Hey what's AskSQLTeam's post count? Maybe I should write a 'pome'...

The site went live somwhere around 6/24/2000. Actually a few days earlier. We really didn't get much traffic until Scott at www.4GuysFromRolla.com posted a link to an article we'd written. After that things just kind of took off. In August of 2000 I hacked together some home-grown forums and ran those for about a month. The weekend of September 24, 2000 I rolled out these Snitz forums and the AskSQLTeam account was migrated to these forums. The code to populate the AskSQLTeam is outside of Snitz and I never bothered to update the post count. There have been over 13,000 AskSQLTeam questions submitted to the site so far.

And only about 5 replies from the original posters. I actually wish that more people would sign up and then ask a question instead of using AskSQLTeam. You just never know if the original poster comes back to SQLTeam to read the replies. I also wish that when you start a thread that it would subscribe you to it by default. I wish, I wish, I wish.

I don't - I've had to divert emails from forums that do that into junk mail because I get overwhelmed by them.
The active topics on this site works wellish if you come back frequently.

I wish there was an option to set the display time because logging out and in doesn't seem to do it.

In the "New Topic" page there's a checkbox that says "Subscribe to this thread" that you can check to be automatically subscribed. Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, I know that you can do that.

My comment was derived from the fact that AskSQLTeam people rarely reply to their threads, so you don't know if they ever saw the answers. So I was thinking that instead of AskSQLTeam that people would have to sign up to ask a question and then if they were automatically (without checking the box because some people might not notice that option) subscribed to it, that they would then be notified about it.

But I was just thinking out loud. Just ignore my comments. It works well for my boyfriend.

AH! I understand now. I've been thinking the very same thing myself. That's just more integration between the forums and my code than I have right now. Certainly something to keep in mind though.

Well...

Tara's point is well taken...it seem the minority see the answers...


or at least how do we know?

And hey, if you post a question, don't you want a notification that you got an answer?

It's not for replies (although That's not a bad idea), just new posts...

ps

Nobody in Florida knows what a Yak is...wore the shirt out today...

yo, boy? what's with the bull on your t-shert?
