FAQ: How should macro code be posted, ... to prevent bandwidth waste Options

[Ipa]

Posting large amounts of macro code in forum threads will result in deletion of the code by a moderator to save bandwidth.

As a general rule of thumb, if you are going to be posting more than 20 lines of macro code, use the "File Attachment" feature of these forums and post the code as an attachment, instead of copy/pasting it into the thread.


Reason: Most people view forum threads in "pages", with a page typically containing 25 or 50 individual replies. Each time you view a page, even if only to view a 1 line response in the most recent reply, you hit this website with a request for all replies in the thread.
If the "page" contains a reply with large block of macro code, this large block is repeatedly requested, multiple times for each forum user each time they view new responses on the page.
