I can see where you're coming from Lee, however please make note that I prefer not to have beta systems on my PC (that goes back a way to when I did load a beta programme and it was so full of bugs that the system crashed on a regular basis - I was using Windows 95 then!). I know that if a programme is issued in beta now, it has already been as thoroughly tested as possible, nevertheless, once bitten forever shy; not only that but to be honest, I can't see the point in it, you have seperate posts for seperate queries, and you look at those posts to get the data, and reply on that specific subject!
In fact, I placed a post earlier on called "Dual Monitors", from that post I have had several replies, and have gained the necessary data from the replies. I agree there are some who will insist on asking questions of a different probelm in reply to somone else's post, and I agree that is infuriating, but surely that is not a good enough reason to mix up ALL the posts.
I was surprised to see it for the first time. Thought it had something to do with my mouse cursor hovering over something. Then I noticed it was a Cnet forums thing, similar to AIM when popup windows alert u when ppl go offline, etc.
One time I even got a popup window for the post I just made. Heck, maybe i'll see one for this post as well!
So I guess its like Google Mail then? No need to refresh? COOL!
Neato! Maybe Dan can work on a new forum feature that allows Admins to see incoming emails in real-time.
somewhere in the middle of the post, it will not update real-time. If you refresh your browser, it will show up but not automatically.

really. May facilitate getting issues resolved more quickly, easily for some posts. How can that be a bad thing?
I like it a lot. I could site and watch it go by all day long. All i need now is a full screen version that I could put on my projector and watch it on my 'media wall' here in the den :P

I'm not quite so addicted I need to see a post milliseconds after it hits. I guess some are.
Give that Dan guy a raise!!!!
I have little time and spend maybe 10 minutes a week checking in to CNET. It took my browser 2 minutes to open the page this time...and less than a second to open the reply page.
It might be nice a for a few who "live" with CNET but you ads are best targeted at a larger audience and I think you with loose that.
The new feature works, but with Windows Live Hotmail, a whole load of white horizontal lines come up on the message. It's a little annoying, but okay.

It is an interesting and useful feature. So far I have downloaded many useful freeware softwares only through CNET Download and there is no problem or harm to my computer. Thanks a lot.
