John-project​ Assuming I have questions in future for a specific topic in MS Project. Where is it best to ask them? There is no official forum from Microsoft. Third party forums are not well visited (my opinion). The support at Microsoft is not straight forward. This is why I am asking.
Thank you. I replied there. Sorry I was a bit confused about all possibilities to search for help. What is the best point in your opinion?

Slamdunker23,
One thing Microsoft does really well is confusion. This particular forum is best for technical issues with Project. Microsoft is in the process of converting the content of the Microsoft Answers forum and melding it in with the Microsoft Q&A forums. But, the old Answers forum had a specific section for Project/Planner whereas the Q&A forum is more general and Project is dumped in with Microsoft 365 and Office. The Project part of the Answers forum wasn't broken, but they fixed it anyway :-(
Now, when you ask, "what is the best point", what exactly are you referring to, the best forum for your Project questions, or the best approach I outlined in my last response to your basic question? You're confused, so am I.

Slamdunker23,
This forum is your best bet for Project technical content. It is a Microsoft sponsored forum but it is supported by volunteers such as myself and several other colleagues with years of experience with Project in all its versions (Project desktop, Project Server, Project Online, Project for the Web, etc.).
If you have non-technical questions (e.g. installation issues, subscription issues, etc.) then the Project tag on the Microsoft Q&A is a better choice.
