I current use this thread in your Test Area Sub Forum.
http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...L-Tables-etc-)
I reference codes or table or extended explanations there from other posts.
I do this so as to have less clutter in the main Threads from which these “appendix” posts are referenced.

I also do this over at ExcelForum, where these “appendix” Threads appear very popular
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=1101544
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=1148621
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=1147913
http://www.excelforum.com/showthread.php?t=1154829
Those are mainly used by me for “appendix” posts referenced by one or more reply posts I do when answering Threads at ExcelForum.
Occasionally, I also reference those posts from other Forums.

There is a disadvantage for me in using those Threads at ExcelForum.
_ You must be logged in to view the Test Area at ExcelForum, so people who are not registered cannot vie them.
_ You cannot use HTML anywhere at ExcelForum ( you have that enabled in your Test Sub Forum )
_ ExcelForum is increasingly unavailable for long periods due to Software problems
_ Many other software problems at ExcelForum , including viruses, are making people more and more reluctant to use the site.

So, if I may, I would like to use in addition ( or possibly instead ) ExcelFox for some of my “appendix” Posts
_......

So, if may, I would like to post codes and the such that may not ( at least initially ) be relevant to Threads at ExcelFox. I will then post a link to those posts as appropriate in other Forums.
I do not think it is appropriate for me necessarily to post in these in the Excel Tips and Tricks Sub Forum as the content may not be “stand alone”, that is too say the content may not be so meaningful on its own.
( I am only a part time “Exceller”, and a Novice at that – so I would never get anywhere near the Heights of the likes of Rick Rothstein oder Rajan Verma. – So there would never be the requirement for me to have my own “corner” )
_.......

( By the way, I do this partly already: In my signature both at ExcelFox and ExcelForum
http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...=9821#post9821
I assumed that was OK as I am just referencing some Forum Posting Tools that I use in both Forums )

Thanks

As I mentioned, I did not want an individual Forum. Indeed even if available, I would not think it appropriate for my posts.
I was just wondering if I could post some of my stuff in the Test Area, for the reasons I mentioned:
_ Posts that are not “stand alone” Tips and tricks are less suited to Tips, Tricks. They would be for me to reference to when answering specific Posts and Blogs elsewhere.
_ In Test Forum I have HTML
_ In Test forum I have unlimited Edit time.

So the question was if, in addition to Tips and Tutorials, I may also post in the Test Area, in the fashion that I do, as indicated, at ExcelForum?

http://www.excelforum.com/developmen...ly-needed.html

_ The purpose of this will be following:
Codes and Information , To be referenced in this web site , Also to be referenced from other web sites
Thanks
