Hi Nadya,

>>I noticed, that one member posted exactly the same questions here and in this forum, so I told it and said, that there was already an answer from Sergey Berezniker.<<

I feel a guilty conscience coming on here (on my part!). When I am in high-pressure programming mode, and need advice/answers/solutions as quickly as possible, I often post the same questions to both UT and Tek-Tips. This way I maximise message exposure and can be assured of helpful answers from experts from both sites.

I appreciate there may be a few of us who use both messageboards, but I get the impression that the vast majority of developers frequent one forum or the other, but not both. I realise there is a risk that someone may see my message on both areas, but I don't see this as a problem.

When I am searching for previous solutions to a problem, the UT search is limited to a 6-month window, but I often like to search for earlier solutions and find it a nuisance to have to repeat the search (a user-defined date-range would be useful). Tek-tips enables searching of the whole forum, but this is probably more practical because it has less traffic than UT.

Tek-tips often provides quicker replies, but UT has more 'experts' and often provides better-quality replies. Both sites are good for me in different ways. They should complement each other, not be in competition.

Tek-tips is usually my first choice when my questions concern HTML or Javascript issues. For these subjects I would not post messages on both sites.

Regards,
Alan
