Ed,
The thing that bugs me the most is when the moderator just picks a reply without really trying to see if it is a correct reply. This is especially frustrating when the reply selected is based on outdated technology indicating that this is still the
correct way to solve the problem - when it is not. I don't know how much time I wasted trying to get some code to work, only to find out that the approach was way out of date and there was a newer and much easier way to sovle the problem....
I would prefer that they wait 2 weeks as sometimes we post a question and then get heads down in our work (oh, hey, I found this little bug - could you fix it BEFORE I give this demo to a hot client?)
And last but not least, given that my signature clearly states that I do mark answers, it would be nice if the modertor considered that before blindly accepting whatever answer they felt was best - and maybe wait 2 weeks for people like me.
Also, if you look as some of my posts, I have also ended up providing a much more detailed answer once I found out the right way to do things. But at least the forums allow more than one answer to be an answer - so that is a good thing...
Not to mention that my question was asked on July 9th and your answer was proposed as an answer the same day.... ;)
Thanks for the link. Next time it happens (I mean besides this case) I will be happy to let you know.
me (and yes, I DO mark correct answers)
