I'm wondering how the rest of you are reading the forum (seriously, I'm curious). Because the only way I can read it is by clicking "What's New" and then I see all of them (well, pages of all of them), and then I pick&read. So, in practice, to me it does not matter what so ever which subforum any post is posted in, in fact I have no idea which subforum it is in unless I deliberately look for it. I usually simply look at the thread title, and that's it.
If I start a new thread I _would_ look at which subforum to post in, but as a reader it's of very little importance. When I started to read this thread I had no idea it was in the Propeller subforum, and I wouldn't have known it had been moved to another if it hadn't been mentioned in a posting.
Start with http://forums.parallax.com/forum.php, then click on the forum you want to look at. You will probably have one or two forums you tend to look at in detail and you might browse the list of forums and their first thread names just to see if any catch your interest.
I had thought to suggest that whenever someone calls a solved that they put the solution with it.
Unless of course the solution would require an NDA or termination if the author showed it to us...
,,, in which case author says "prevented by NDA" or such.
Seconded.
Or is it too late to get back on topic?
@Tor - I had a bookmark to the prop forum. I only recently started noticing the other sub forums. I never noticed the "What's New" button until you asked, now I have a link to that. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
This topic arose from seeing multiple solved with no explanation of why or how. It had some minor drift until your post pushed it into another direction. It had generated mostly relevant and positive responses prior too that point. I will agree that it could have fit into many possible places, however the prop forum is where MY interests lie, so that is where I posted. The other forums except projects (when I finally get a clear explanation of it's purpose) for the curve tracer project currently in design were of minimal interest to me. I don' t usually go into forums not relevant to MY interests. I guess that should enable some understanding of my criminal behavior. Good thing I have no stars to take away.

@Mike Cook, thanks for finding that post. It's a shame the forum rules link is confusing.

Seconded.
Oh sorry, wrong quote,

Seconded.
