What defines an "expert"?
Great questions. Other thread with similar questions at: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Tech-Community-Blog/Microsoft-Tech-Community-July-5-Release-Profile-Page-update/bc-p/84981
It looks like this, but still not clear - if at least one answer is from MVP/Microsoft?
Loryan Strant is mvp i guess you need a community manager to answer :-)
Loryan only asked the question, my guess was this categorization is based on answers. Anyway, of course, only community manager could clarify, e.g. AnnaChu
Hi Sergei,
yes he dit but since he has a green cirkel around his picture he is a MVP :-) MS itself is blue and thought community manager is red.
Microsoft employees - Like you, they are members of the community around Microsoft products, and we encourage them to share their knowledge, expertise, and opinions on this platform.
Community Managers - Our community managers are here to encourage conversation, provide direction, answer questions, and keep the community healthy.
MVPs - MVPs are recognized technology experts who passionately share their knowledge and expertise with the community.
Similarly, you may notice badges and ranks next to usernames. Badges are achievements you can unlock. Ranks, like “MVP”, can either be assigned or earned through participation.
kr,

Hi Paul - yes, i know, thank you. My point was the post appears in Experts category of the dashboard not when one of MVP:s, etc. initiates the conversation, but only when one of them answers on the question. But again, that's only my guess.
