List of Microsoft Forums?
So as per last week's announcement, we've had a name change ceremony from Office 365 Network (Preview) to Microsoft Tech Community! Few weeks ago I did a quick blog post to maintain a list of currently supported Microsoft forums as below. Have I missed any others and will these forums appear in these space as consolidation to make things easier? Microsoft Community – http://answers.microsoft.com/ – help with technical support. Power Users Community – https://powerusers.microsoft.com/ – Gateway to Power BI, Flow, Power Apps, Stream communities forums. Power BI Community – https://community.powerbi.com/ PowerApps Community – https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/PowerApps-Community/ct-p/PowerApps1 Microsoft Flow Community – https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Flow-Community/ct-p/FlowCommunity Microsoft Stream Community – https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Stream-Community/ct-p/StreamCommunityBoards Azure Forums – https://azure.microsoft.com/support/forums/ Microsoft Social – https://social.microsoft.com/Forums Microsoft Technet – https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums – for IT Professionals technical support. MSDN – https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums – for developers technical support Yammer Office 365 Network (Closing soon) – https://www.yammer.com/itpronetwork Thanks ChiragImpossible to sign in with different user account
I use this browser with two MS accounts. The techcommunity does not let me choose the user account to sign in with! I'm forced to open a private window to sign in and write this feedback. So when clicking Sign In, it thinks I want to sign in with my M365 company account, and asks me to accept certain permissions. However, I want to sign in with my personal MS account. So I click cancel and get redirected to the home page. So, in order to visit the site with my personal MS account, must either use a private windows, or clear every single cookie for every single Microsoft domain, which is also NOT what I want to do. This is simply unacceptable and driving me away from using the techcommunity at all! I made a video for you to show you how broken the sign in flow is: https://i.imgur.com/KnxnPKM.mp4
What’s New in the MTC? September 2023 – Community Ranks
Our Mission at the MTC is to provide a community Microsoft users can get the latest news, ask questions, learn new skills, and connect with peers and Microsoft experts from around the world. This month, we are rolling out a new ranking system designed to recognize users’ contributions to the community and add a little more ‘Microsoft’ to the MTC. What are the Community Ranks? We now have two ranking ladders to recognize both types of our tech community members. We have our Contributors Ranks for those who come to the MTC to interact and ask/answer questions in our forums, blogs, and events. Some of you Microsoft gamers may notice the subtle nod 😉 Contributor Ranks Onyx Contributor Titanium Contributor Diamond Contributor Platinum Contributor Gold Contributor Silver Contributor Bronze Contributor Steel Contributor Iron Contributor Brass Contributor Copper Contributor And for our members who come to the MTC to catch up on news and learn something new from the blogs, we have our Reader Ranks! These are replacing our Visitor/Member ranks, and once you start posting in the MTC, you will move into the Contributor Ranks. Reader Ranks Senior Reader Prolific Reader Regular Reader Frequent Reader Casual Reader Occasional Reader New Reader (Please note that these rankings are intended for fun and are not a measure of MTC’ers technical competence.) What goes into the Community Ranks? When you become a member of the MTC, you start climbing the ranking ladder, starting as a New Reader. As you contribute more and more to the community, you will start to climb the rank ladder. Here are some of the key ingredients that go into our ranking recipe (*These points are awarded each time an activity is completed): Viewing messages (0.25 points) Commenting on blogs, ideas, and TKB articles (1 point) Creating new discussion topics (1 point) Replying to forum discussions (2 points) Giving (2 points) and receiving Kudos (4 points) Contributing Ideas (5 points) Authoring blog articles (10 points) Publishing Knowledge Base articles (10 points) Getting your replies marked as a solution (15 points) Simply put, the more you engage and interact with the MTC, the more points you earn and the higher your community ranking will be! If you have any questions on these new rankings or you’d like to share feedback with the Tech Community Team, let us know in the comments below.
