    Lightbulb New Forum Tab

    Its possibly already here and i just havent found it yet.

    We should have a tab with working scenarios.

    eg.

    Header = Userforms
    - Working Command buttons with VBA coding, Save, Edit, Cancel, Delete (ensure a desciption is added into code to explain how it works and why).

    Header = Conditional Formatting
    - Tips and Tricks to spice things up with walk throughs

    Header = Formula's
    - a list of Formulas, how it works and how we can use it

    Header = Charts



    The List goes on, but if we have a Separate Tab for these things where the professionals can show their stuff, it may save a lot of time for some people wanting to know the basics etc.


    Possibly base it on Reputation, where only X amount of reputation will allow you to attach a working example? This way it wont be crammed with silly questions, but the general public can view and use the examples.

    I suspect not. People appear not to carry out basic searches to address their issues, either in this forum, or even in Google in general. For example, I don't know how many times I have provided code to determine the last row of data in a worksheet, or the last column. There are countless examples of questions being asked that have been answered time after time.

    I'm not disagreeing that it's a good idea. I just don't think it would add any benefit. More forums and sub-forums would only complicate the matter. Why would people deep dive when they can't even skim the surface.

    And we wouldn't want to give the Tech Team any more opportunities to screw up the forum, would we?
