14N Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) http://voices.yahoo....he-1838674.html Small section from the above article: "How To Know You Are Addicted: If you check your threads via a mobile phone, before doing anything else online or get angered when you can't access boards, there is a good chance that you are either addicted or are on the path to being addicted. In regards to a loved one, if you notice they are spending large chunks of time at a website and display odd tendencies or outbursts, it might be time to have a talk with them. When Is It Time To Get Help? If more and more of your time is being spend at a certain forum or board and that is starting to spill over into other facets of your life, you may need to seek professional help. If loved ones are complaining that you are not spending time with them, you engage in text and verbal "flamefests" over things that you would have dismissed as trivial a few months ago or your job is suffering because of message board postings, you could be in need of help."

14N Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) The first thing I did when I was given my computer log on details at my new job was to check that I could still acess the forum and that it wasn't blocked by security and/or firewalls. Fortunately it wasn't. eBay is blocked though, which has probably saved me a fortune. I've now added "Will I be able to access 35z-uk,com?" to the questions I will ask at the end of any future job interviews....
