Is anybody else addicted to the "Update" button?!

My name is Tony ... and I have a problem.

Thats the first step towards the cure, isn't it?

I find myself hitting the "Update" button about every five minutes. I can't sit down and eat dinner or watch T.V without excusing myself to update my score.

Does anybody else have this problem, or do I need professional help?

My sister does not have an update button since she is not a paid member but she knows my name & password & gets on my profile just so she can hit that silly little button.

I don't now how much time it takes to wear off.

But I'm addicted to refresh every hour, because I'm not a member :-(

You get cured pretty fast when every time you press that darn button your score goes down...down...down. It's too painful! (Of course, there's that hope that the score will magically go UP!) :)

I hit it every 5 mins, plus instead of going to bed at 10:00, here I am still up and I'll wake up through the night to check my score.

Thats the problem right there! I'm sure my score will go up if I keep looking at it. Its worse when you wake up in the morning and find the score gone down from 6.0 to 5.1 (Metal)!!!

That's one of the reason I don't submit too much in the challenge... I get in front of my computer every chance I get to click that button. I guess I could call my-self a recovering "Updatholic"!

Hi, I'm Cristy & I'm recently addicted. I have 2 computers side by side....while I'm working on one, I can hit the update button on the other! (I even write sown my socre so I can tell if it changed much!)

Imagine my surprise, on my last update (about 30 minutes after the last) I got a notification to show proof of original file!! I was good!!! I hope they don't DQ me anyway!
