I have the honour of being banned from asking questions on StackOverFlow
"because most of your questions need improvement or are out of scope for
this site". I have no idea what that means, I have asked 7 questions in
about 13 months and not one has been answered, perhaps they are too
difficult.

I do remember when I asked about a forum for programming somebody in here
(sorry, can't remember who) said StackOverFlow was quite a long way up its
own arse, apparently spot on!

Are there alternatives that people can recommend? I have been desperately
looking for a ListView replacement and there aren't many about. I ended up
with ObjectListView but it seems it stopped development in 2016 and there
is no activity on its forum (apart from me!).

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated :-)

I believe I suggested StackOverFlow at some point, but it wasnt me that
suggested its up its own arse ...

Have you tried looking at rudd-o.com to see if you can get a word in on
there ? - If not, its an amusing detour

I suggested it on 10/4/22 in a thread of yours with the subject "Testing
CPU"

Thats less than 13 months ago - so you must have been on StackOverFlow
already

CollectionView?

Another part of the Xamarin.Forms rabbit hole which I have no experience
or little current interest.

There seem to be various migration guides on google and youtube.

I have just discovered that I was awarded a bronze medal for my
