Hello. I have had many requests from Parallax forums users·to post some Propeller code. Lately I do not frequent much this site so·I would like to place the code somewhere to be downloaded by anyone interested. Which would be the right place to put the code?

1) You can start a thread with a subject that would make clear what is posted within. The first message explains what you've done and how people can use it. You attach the code as an archive (ZIP file) to the first message. If you update the code, you post a subsequent message explaining what was added or fixed and either attach the new archive to the subsequent message or you edit the original message and attach the updated archive to that (and remove the old archive).
2) If your code is freely available for all to use, you can place it in the Propeller Object Exchange. You'll need to register (see the ObEx main page). Once you're registered, you can log in and just post the code or update it. It might be useful to have a thread in the Propeller forum as well where you can "announce" the availability of the object in the ObEx.
I'm not sure there's a "right place" answer for you. It depends on the sort of code you want to post. If it's a complete functional object like an I/O driver, then the ObEx makes sense. If it consists of fragments or examples, then a thread in the forum makes the most sense.
