Mr Excel, other forums and general Excel forum history

Rory - your question was raised a little while ago, and I think most people just used the Thread Subscription feature, and stuck the threads in a different folder from those they were actively posting on.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Emma's right. You need to subscribe to the thread and then in your User CP you can create a favourites folder and when you list your subscriptions there's an option to move them to another folder. Bit of a pain but the only way I believe.

you could also add a tag to each thread - doesn't seem to be a much used feature.
 
Rory - you've been here just over 3 months, and posted 2,000 odd times - which makes 6,000 posts in total, assuming that dividing your time equally results in consistent verbosity. Assuming 22 working days in a month, that's approximately 90 posts a day. Do you ever do anything else? ;)

I've sometimes wondered that about some of the prolific posters. I'm guessing that most of them do have proper jobs and whilst it's impressive I have not idea how they find time to do their 'real work'. Maybe they're just good at delegating.

I don't post as much in the forum I moderate - I tend to just keep an eye on things. I do also post on weekends (sometimes) and in the evenings, plus journeys to/from work, so it's more like 40-50 a day. There may be some truth to my wife's allegations that I spend too much time on the computer. (Though if all goes to schedule, that will probably stop from Jan 9th 2009! :))
Luckily my work PC is quite slow so I have time to kill while running other things...
