  • Site Update

    So, after a stalled update last week, we have managed to update the Excel User Group site. It has a stronger 'community' feel with friends that make it easier to track contributions by your favourite authors for example. Files are now stored under 'Media' and we will be looking to add videos at some point in the future, that will stream in an embedded viewer in the site. private messages have become 'Conversations' and these are viewable on you own personal home page, which...

  • Site Statistics

    I was having a look on Google Analytics for the site and you may be interested to see how many, where from and where to. these stats are from Mid Jan 2008 and we are growing slowly each week (as the recent spam is showing). There were some peak times when we first launched, when many of you kindly posted on blogs, etc resulting in just over 500 unique visitors on one day! We are currently running at around 300 visitors a day after a short lull about 3 weeks ago. the users are interested though as...

  • Another excelusergroup.org milestone

    Good morning all from a not so sunny Cologne, Germany. (On my travels). Just though I would announce we now have our 200th registered user! (without counting all the lurkers out their, which if you look at anytime of the guests on line is always around 10. (Click on forums link and it is there)). Our 200th registrant was cgcordry who actually shows as 202, but I have two user IDs (Admin and TestUser), so they don't count. Thanks to all for making this a valuable, vibrant and growing community...

  • Posting Code to excelusergroup.org

    I have been testing several solutions for posting formatted code to these forums and blogs. There are a few that I can build-in, but I am nervous messing with the code base as we are just getting going. The code below is formatted using Windows Live Writer, a free blogging tool from here . I have added to that an add-in, (there are dozens of them) to insert code snippets . (There are lots of these too). You can just add this as a plug-in very simply and it appears as a link in the right sidebar of...

  • Update on Updates (19th January 2008)

    Good Day All More news 'from the bridge' here. Over the last few days a few more changes have been made to our site. The original poster can now set there forum post as a 'question' and then, the posts can be marked as answered, allowing other users later to find 'answered questions' The Lean and Green theme is now up and running. if you want to test or run this, you can do so from the 'Site Options' section under your profile. Corrected the issue where post dates...

  • Post times now fixed

    We have been working on fixing the post time issue on the site. You should find, providing you have your setting correct under your profile, that the post time should now appear correctly for you. Let me know if that's not the case

  • File attachments on forum posts

    We have now enabled attachments for registered users of forum posts to make it easier to explain some issues or for responders to pass along demo's, etc. There is a file limit on these files so if they bomb you out that is likely the cause. Zipping the file is obviously preferable. Bear in mind also that if the file has general appeal, it can be uploaded to the downloads section for everybody to be aware of. We are still tinkering behind the scenes here to get the experience just right, so some...

  • So we're up and running!

    Hi everyone from the bridge We are up and running and I am delighted to say we have a considerable number of registrants and quite a few Microsoft MVPs. Whatever your status, welcome along and join in! We have had two new forums added (with a couple of sub forums) for Excel Add-Ins and Excel Services. The former has had XL-Dennis volunteer to moderate and hang around so hopefully we can get some threads going there. We have had kind permission from Dick Kusleika (often seen here as *** as the profanity...
