This is not about Finale itself; I'm confused about the existence of two entirely different websites, one at <http://www.finaleforum.com>, and the other one right here. Am I in the wrong place?

This web site (which contains several forums, including this one and a Finale feature request forum) is monitored by the folks at MakeMusic, and you will sometimes find posts from them in the forums here.
The forums here use Zendesk forum software.
You can attach graphics and hyperlinks to your posts here, but you can not attach Finale documents (at least not yet).
You can upload your Finale document elsewhere, and then here add a hyperlink to the document.
Elsewhere there are several other Finale forums. The web site with finaleforum.com is not the only alternative. These other forums are not monitored by MakeMusic, but you can get help from other Finale users. And users can discuss Finale’s features.
In the forum at
http://www.finaleforum.com/index.php
the users can attach Finale documents to their posts.
Got it. The reason I asked is that in the old MM Forum, I knew there were a vast number of questions which I could easily answer, and every time I got one of my own questions answered, I used to check to see whether there was another one I could help with. But here, the questions seem a little too difficult for me to address, or they seem to have been settled very quickly.
Let's face it, running this sort of forum is among the hardest things that anyone could be asked to do for free, and I'm not surprised that MM gave up on the original one. The modern philosophy seems to be that nothing is free unless your data can be exploited somehow!
My thanks and admiration for those of you who keep at it!
