    Re Sticky: Forum for Issues - Why still there but locked?

    Hi “SuperAdmin”, or similar.
    . I just saw this Sticky Thread by chance!.
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...or-issues.html
    . I expect many others have not noticed it. Many Forum issues have indeed in my short time here come up and been discussed elsewhere. I was always curios that no Admin, EF Management, Tech Team ever, or only rarely commented in such a Thread. Maybe, like me this Thread was overlooked. ? Clearly with this Thread has had no input for a few years. Indeed it is locked. And no explanation why. The forum seemed like a god idea, IMO, to get some feedback from you guy on current problems.
    FWIW: here were a few recent issues I brought up. Both are frustrating, the first particularly frustrating and may have had detrimental effect.
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...-not-noti.html
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...in-forums.html
    http://www.excelforum.com/the-water-...happening.html


    .. and a further one
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...romised-5.html
    , which has had some feedback from you Guys,
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...ml#post4058087

    but is still actual and possibly an update would be helpful on any action from your side.


    . I think many people would appreciate some feedback, along the lines of the initiation Post from “SuperAdmin” in the Sticky Forum for Issues

    Thanks
    Alan

    Bump
    Just curious why this closed thread
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...or-issues.html
    of little content is still “stuck there” ( here in this Sub Forum, the one I am posting in now )

    I cannot see that it serves any purpose. If by “Forum for Issues” it is referring to, and indicating existence of, the Forum “Suggestions For Improvement”, then it is pretty redundant having it in the Forum “Suggestions For Improvement” !!

    Maybe it should be replaced with a Thread entitled

    Post short Suggestions for Improvement here


    The first post could then read something like this:

    Please post any suggestions you have for Improvements here. Please just post a short description.
    Note: There is currently no Active Management of the Forum
    The Forum resides somewhere forgotten about deep down in a Server somewhere in India.
    So you will be unlikely to get any response.
    However, should the Forum ever be competently Managed in the Future, then this Thread could help at that stage in Improving the site.

    Issue Forum for Issues suggestions for improvement Forum for Issues obfuscation

    Solved Feb 2017
    I should have read the first Post in the Referred To:= Thread
    http://www.excelforum.com/suggestion...or-issues.html
    In that Thread you find, Post #1:
    Quote Originally Posted by Vaibhav

    You can also put forth suggestions for improvement.
    I would suggest - if it’s a issue, you can name your thread as "Issue - xxxx" or if Improvement then "Improvement - xxxx"
    So that is actually directing people to point out outstanding issues in this slightly “Hidden” Sub Forum.

    I guess I was not that stupid in not noticing, - Looks like not many others did in the last 9 years, and we were posting in the main Suggestions for Improvement Sub Forum ( That is to say the one I am posting this Post in )
    समझने में कठिन
    Clearly it is misleading to indicate a , '_- , new Forum in which to post suggestions for improvement and that said Sub Forum has the name ExcelTip.com Feedback / Comments / Suggestions and is only to be found Pointed to in a Sticky entitled Forum for Issues which is “hidden” within the Sub Forum Suggestions for Improvement
    समझने में कठिन

    At least I finally found out what obfuscation meant : A good way not to be bothered by reports of anything not in order


    '_-


    Solved

    P.S. It has also been pointed out by snb that the relavance of this extra Forum is somewhat in question currently...
