Not before bed, eh? I didn't know that, and that's what I've been doing. What's the deal with not taking it before bed?

There is NOT a specific problem with taking it before bed.
However, for people not accustomed to taking supplements, there is a gut clearance issue.
Powder changes the permeability and some people can experience discomfort at bed time.
I prefer not to see powder in the gut at bed time for a beginner.
I like to see the creatine in the system an hour from training to get sent everywhere with the increased blood flow of training. There is research to show that this is beneficial as far as delivery.
Also, at bed, the blood flow to extremities relaxes (rest and digest!)
Though, I do not mind to see things an hour or more from bed, so long as they are not stimulants.
Naturally there are some slight exceptions.

Creatine is one of the key energy systems in the body.
The body maintains a set amount in the system based on your diet.
Supplementing simply raises the amount that the body maintains.
When this increases, in addition to all the other benefits...
(Read this to see what we know about the benefits
http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/Creatine_Reviewing_what_we_know/m_295206/tm.htm)
The amount of water retained IN MUSCLE along with the increased Creatine increases.
Muscle IS about 75% water.
Putting more water in your muscle, often referred to as volumizing muscle, increases their ability to GROW.
quote:
how soon do u think untill i see some VISIBLE changes
What you will notice in about 4-8 weeks, depending on your diet and training, is that you can train more intensely.
You recover faster between sets, allowing you to train with greater vigor.
It is possible to see a gain of 3-10 pounds in that time. Most being water but some may be muscle as well.
If you read that link I gave above you see that creatine does some great things for the training athlete and their body.

Not really. Pills, powder, in a shake...its all the same to the body.
i could be wrong but didn't dan gastelu mention how creatine in pill form can become another chemical if on the shelves too long before bought?
