    Anyone came here cause stackoverflow wasn't helpful?

    I came to this forum to learn VBA, unfortunately my experience with SO was mostly downvotes, and accounts closure. Have learnt tons of VBA here from members, and have also contributed to some degree which helps me.

    Re: Anyone came here cause stackoverflow wasn't helpful?

    To be fair, I used to contribute to quite a few fora. In fact, as many as I could find. I stopped going to a few because they just didn't get the traffic and it was boring/frustrating.

    I decided to focus on this forum because it was one of the first, if not the first, to allow you to upload sample workbooks. That made it so much easier to diagnose faults and develop solutions.

    There was something about MrExcel and StackOverflow that seemed a little unfriendly/aggressive, though I don't recall having any issues personally.

    I know a lot of the regulars here frequent several other boards but, to be honest, I can't be bothered.
