I've got something that was a problem to me for quite some time, which I now believe is fixed. A friend of mine (non-vfx, and not a member of this site) solved it for me, and I was wondering if it was acceptable to post a question and then immediately answer it myself...
I emailed Julian about this, but then realised that it probably was something that should just go on here as a question!

Hi Hugh.
I'm all for it ;)
The vision for this site is that it becomes an oracle of vfx knowledge. So posting a good question that you already know an answer to, is only going to help. You might even get a better answer or at least some other angles on the subject anyway.
Good stuff – sounds good to me. I’ll get it written up and posted… It’s probably a problem that a few people have run into…
I mentioned this site to a few people here, and have been correcting people who’ve said “it’s just another forum”, which to me it really isn’t…
The gamers amongst them (okay, MattWBP, who’s already signed up) do like the “achievements” style of the badges :D
“The gamers amongst them” —– ahh cool – they should like the idea of a constructors grand prix then – to give the different facilites a sense of competition ;) www.vfxoverflow.com/companies

Yes. If you have a good question, chances are other users on the site will be interested in the answer as well.
Further, there's a good chance someone else has an even better answer.
Being the same engine as StackOverflow, the answers on the meta.stackoverflow question "Is it poor etiquette to answer your own question?" are relevant. This is the reason the Self-Learner badge exists.
Good stuff! I’m quite new to the StackOverflow family of sites… I used to read Joel Spolsky’s blog a few years ago, but haven’t in a while, and hadn’t come across them until Julian started this place up. It looks like you’ve been using StackOverflow for a while now!
