Accessing spreadsheetpage.com (Walkenbach's)

[Content self-deleted because I'm told that showing how to get to the John Walkenbach Excel resource webpages is bordering on breaking this forum's rule regarding advertising other sites]

This is bordering on breaking this forum's rule regarding advertising other sites

I think that there may be some over-policing going on here.

The spreadsheetpage.com had been a resource for a lot of us. I suspect it was foundational for many of the principle players on Excel Forum. Unfortunately, that site is no longer being maintained by Mr. Walkenbach but the address has apparently been taken by another entity that MalwareBytes identifies as "Website blocked due to trojan".

If someone has identified a legitimate replacement for the valuable resource that spreadsheetpage.com had been, it would make sense to provide that information here.

I also note that many of the posts on the Excel Forum contain links or references to the old legitimate version of spreadsheetpage.com.

I think it is ironic that that "bordering on breaking this forum's rule regarding advertising other sites" results in removal of valuable information and results in users of old links on Excel Forum being driven into the jaws of another entity that is somewhere between a rank opportunist and a malevolent actor.

I think a little perspective and judgement should be applied, the original post restored, and the admonition to the original poster removed.

Please feel free to contact the OP and ask him to reinstate the post. As you will see, if you look carefully, it was not the administrator who edited the link out, but the OP himself. The advice given was meant to avoid any future infraction, and not an instruction that the link must be removed.

I think it's a shame that your ONLY post here is a moan.

1. I never deleted anything, I gave a heads-up to avoid breaching 1 of our rules - the OP them self deleted their post - perhaps look a little closer before handing out accusations.
2. I have never heard of that site, so it was not part of my excel foundation.
3. The fact that the link now apparently send you to a risky site is just 1 - of many - reasons we do not permit links to other sites. We will NOT be party to unintentionally compromising members security by permitting links to spurious web sites
