This has been requested quite a few times in the past.
I suggest that you Mac guys post questions in the VC++ forum and if Chris sees that there's a large enough group of you discussing Mac stuff there, he might give you a forum for that 
Right now it's pure conjecture that Mac developers actually hang out on CP.

Chris's iPhone app ARGHHH!!!!! threads already have more posts than the linux forum. 
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Reason enough for creating the forum, yes?
Cheers,

I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends.

Yeah but brute force never works with Chris.

Well the best part of a brute force solution is that if it hasn't worked yet you just keep doing the same thing even more forcefully.

Relax, my email is working fine.
I was just thinking that in order to help diagnose members' email problems, it might be helpful to have a Test button next to each email address on the Settings page. Clicking this button would send a test email message to the address.

Good idea. Its now working fine for me as well. 
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures."

Or you can momentarily change the email address to your alternate address and then change back. That would make it 'Unverified' causing a 'Send Verification' link to appear for you.

And miles to go before I sleep,

Excellent idea. Added to the TODO.

My turn to complain: Why is the graphics forum under the Product Lifecycle heading?
...surely "Database and SysAdmin" would be more appropriate?

Well, maybe "sucks" is too strong a word but...
My eye is dragged from left to right to left to right, all separated by a massive banner ad (which I'll probably ignore) and then the "Lounge" is placed hard right. It's confusing, I can't easily find what I'm looking for because I have three areas of the screen to check (separated by the aforementioned banner ad)... this is headache inducing!

You can please some of the people, some of the time, so in the end I made it the way that works most inuitively for me because at least I can be sure someone is happy!

It's not the people you want to keep happy, just me At least you didn't do some kind of esoteric Bob interface! (the old one was better though!)

Maybe you could implement a "Cylon" mode, where Lounge slowly moves from far right to middle, and then back again. This would also reduce the number of drunk Lounge posts, since drunks wouldn't be able to hit it.

KITT had that too, right?

Yeah if you had a wide screen (mine's 24" wide) that is a problem. I usually go to the lounge by dropping down the URL from the address bar - so I avoid having to shift my eyes and mouse cursor a wide distance every time I want to see if someone's posted a not-safe-for-work image or joke in the Lounge

Is the  smiley broken? It doesn't seem to work in all fora.
(Even posts about it seem to wind up in the wrong forum.) (That was meant as humor, apparently I had originally posted elsewhere, thinking I was here.)
