Just curious, since I decided to ask my first question last night, and the exercise took more than two hours to complete. The struggle occurred when my question exceeded the character count along with a few extraneous characters within my code.
I refactored my question and code to shoehorn the question within the character count. I read the overview, which stated how I should present my question, et al, but loading the code was interesting, since my code contained comments with a few apostrophes, causing the code to be improperly displayed. (That was fun to try and decipher.) A continuous exercise in "Pete" and "Re-Pete" to find the offending character ... :]
That said, a user FAQ sheet for all beginners would be a nice feature to illustrate the proper way to present readable code, and to identify the character limit, before one begins to ask a question.
Just a thought ...
Best regards,
