What Happened to Excel Developer's Forum?

Hello:

For years I used the Microsoft Excel Developer's forum and was a contributor.  The URL for that forum was https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=exceldev. Why did that go away?  I lost all my contributor points!

 

Please let me know.

Regards,

Rich Locus

    Hi Rich, Microsoft has retired the MSDN and TechNet forums, including the Excel Developer's Forum, as part of a shift to the new Microsoft Q&A platform (https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/). Unfortunately, contributor points from the old forums were not migrated. You can continue engaging with the Excel development community on the new platform and reestablish your presence there. https://calculadoradedias.com/

    Many of us deplore this step.

     

    This forum (Tech Community) is a lot better than Q&A, in my opinion.

     

    (You still have all your points on MSDN/Technet but they won't be transferred to Tech Community or Q&A)
