Why would you place your Openings training on a Puzzles forum?

I contacted the chess support team and they said there is no other way of creating your own puzzle openning and then practice them. I also need to create multiple forum topics because it only lets me place 5 comments on each, which is very annoying.
Please let me know if you think there is a better way to handle this, I would definetly keep the puzzles private if I could
All Forums are equal, they only have different names. Whatever you can do here you can do in the Chess Openings forum and everyone can make the same comments in both. Worse, all spammers and trolls have the same access to your topics wherever you place them. There are no private places in Forums.
The Forums reflect subjects of interest. With sufficient discipline by the posters they will more or less stay clean of contamination by off-subject material.
Basically chess.com is not intended as an archive, but you can (ab)use the messaging function for that. Find a friend (or your own second account) and message all your practice material to that account. Ask your friend to never respond to your messages to keep that shared message box clean. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the messages after you sent them, only delete them or add new messages. And of course, you can play them and solve the diagrams whenever you like. It's doable though I dislike that I cannot change the message content later.
Btw, I suppose titled players have their own software to keep openings archives. I don't know what it is since I stopped playing serious chess decades ago

Hey that is actually a great idea! I never thougth about the chat option. You provided a better support than the actual chess.com support team did! I'll delete all the puzzles once I migrate them to the chat. Thanks for taking time to help me, is much apprecciated.
You're welcome. I kept some of my compositions there as a secret to discuss them with just one partner. A while ago I discovered that some of my older messages were gone so you got to be careful. You never know what chess.com protects and what they squander when they run out of resources one day or their database corrupts. I also lost posts in regular forums so these things happen at times. And sometimes lost material comes back after a while. It's a wild world here on chess.com
