If you go out to eat, order more than she can finish. Put the rest in a doggy bag and take it home.

The goal of this thread was to see how many people gain more than their experimental goal.
Some of the gains described either were not experimental or were experimental but had no defined goal. (Nothing wrong with that, but not relevant to my original question (which I probably should have spelled out better!))
Anyway, of the 10 people with relevant answers, 9 gained more than they originally planned. Only one gained less than that!

There's a sporadic interest by the mods in avoiding redundant forum posts.
I guess everyone is supposed to use the poorly-functioning forum search feature to plow through thousands of posts and make sure they have something truly original to add or ask. This is absurd, but what can you do?

Interesting. I know some people have a phase where friends and families nag them. Then they gain a bit more and everyone gives up and quits nagging. I don't think that's quite the same thing you're talking about but it's close!

I am also not an insider: much of what is going on is as mysterious to me as any of the rest of us amongst regular membership. The following is my opinion based upon my experiences, nothing more.**
AskDrFeeder:
Do you even have dedicated SQA? Version control? Regression testing?
Sonic Purity:
SQA: I know there�s at least one motivated volunteer QA tester (me). You may recall that Hiccupx recruited FF2 beta testers starting months ago. I have no idea if there are 50, 12, 3, or 0 others. I do know that some bugs i found during the FF2 pre-release beta phase were fixed, and that others were deemed necessary to push out until after the public release/switchover (i.e. where we are now). Some of these choices surprised me (the bugs struck me as important to address), but i�m an outsider, with no idea of the constraints, pressures, goals, deadlines, etc. involved.
Version control: as an outside beta tester, i was not exposed to these sorts of internals. My focus is front end HTML/CSS, my area of expertise.
Regression testing: from out here, only FF2 beta vs. regression to the live FF1 site, when they were separate and both running. I did do some regression testing vs. FF1, but validating that FF2 did not break any functional aspect of FF1 didn�t seem to be part of the mandate. I can only hope that this was happening on the back end.

I'm glad there's some SQA going on!
Is there a version number somewhere for citation by bug reports? I personally would find it very hard to report or fix bugs otherwise.

TommyGun:
Is anyone else having issues with the messages? I've sent messages and get no reply for days. When the reply does come I've been told by the person that this is the 3rd time they've tried to message me back. I hadn't gotten anything they had tried to send me. I know how to check to see if I have new messages so I don't think its that.
Anyway, just wanted to bring this up and to see if I'm the only one.
The problem I've seen is that there are TWO reply buttons; one for creating a reply and another for sending a reply once you've created it. The first one should disappear after you click it. The second one should be called "send". Otherwise you can very easily (as I have) click on the wrong reply button and think you've sent the message when all you've done is destroy your nicely-crafted message.

You could try losing a few pounds. People usually gain back more than they lost.

Part of me is afraid of what other people will think though.
What are you afraid they'll think?
