phew, this is out of my expirience, but guess, there is a lot more to do, to get it work
sorry, so i'm out of help in this case
about your avatar --> questioners are so displayed, regardless about its expert-state
(if you comment on a q not owned by yours, you should see your guru-state)

OnShow event, put this code
SetWindowPos(Form1.Handle,
HWND_TOPMOST,
0, 0, 0, 0,
SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE or SWP_SHOWWINDOW);
This will stay the form always on the top.

yes, this is the problem and solution :) any idea how can do that?
Try this component:
http://www.torry.net/vcl/forms/other/topwin.zip.
It stays OnTop even when it's not focused.

usual it should be enough to set the formStyle to fsStayOnTop
(of course it must be the mainForm!)
