Could we please add more social networks to the Tech Community profile settings? Some interesting ideas:  - Mastodon  - Medium  - Google News  - Microsoft Learn ID  - Huggingface  - WhatsApp for Business  - etc. ... View more Or alternatively, after 7 days the label should be visible ->[ Still the author has not marked Best Answer,] this should definitely organize and improve the understanding of topics in MTC. Do you think that's a good idea?  After 7 days (MTC insider group) would have the right to mark the post with the best response. You can also add the -> achievement You have correctly marked ( best answer ) as a badge! Re: Change in my tagging from super contributor to Regular contributor - Microsoft Community Hub ... View more The inspiration for this idea came from the Community Manager's response:   "  We report to our product teams regularly on posts that are still awaiting replies, there is no 'flagging' of these posts available to users. We are still trying to get our 'Community insider' initative off the ground which may give the opportunity for a select group of key influencers an opportunity to flag discussions that are needing a reply but until then feel free to flag any pressing topics in the community discussion area.   "                                                                                                                                                    as often confirmed responses by users are missing, or from the Microsoft team – the MTC Community Insider Group -> could mark responses as a solution, or add responses as MTC Insider. Of course, this requires more careful thought and ideas on this topic! I am asking for opinions and support of my idea. ... View more Microsoft Tech Community comes with valuable resources and I believe contents of this community should be fully integrate with new Bing Chat feature. The idea could start with sharing contents and questions and answers. And could expand on more features like search for Community Users and so on. ... View more I noticed automatic email notifications are being sent from khoros-mail.com domain. It is expected because I believe this community is build on top of khoros platform. However, I would like recommend to have a better privacy and trust , create a mechanism so notification emails would send directly from microsoft.com domain. It would be easier for spam management and also it is more reliable. ... View more Hello everyone! ( Do you want to have an official answer confirmed by Microsoft?) I participate in discussions in which, there is a lack of explanations and answers from Microsoft employees, -> this causes frustration and negative comments that should receive a competent response (preferably as a Blog), which refers to the indicated problem -> regarding the Microsoft product.  Please support this idea! :) ... View more Modern web UI is nice, but at the end of the day when it comes to mobile, apps are still king. If the purpose of this is to replace the interaction we had on Yammer, a mobile app is a necessity.  Ease of use is critical, and navigating via browser does not give the features and interactivity that the Yammer app does. App specific notifications for replies, quickly navigating to favorite topics/groups.  Just because it can be used in a mobile browser doesnt mean it should. I see lack of a mobile app as a real barrier to winning user adoption and getting the most participation possible based on the proven success of Yammer Office 365 Network. ...

View more Hi, Under the umbrella of the Kubernetes development there is a project called Kops for the provisioning of a Kubernetes cluster on multiple cloud with the aim of standardize the Kubernetes operations.   At the moment Azure is not really supported in Kops (alpha and limited support) and to deploy an unmanaged cluster one must use AKS-Engine, which caused not a few problems in the recent past.   It would be nice to speed up the development of Kops - Azure in order to use the same operations tool to deploy on all the major cloud providers. Having the same tool will save a lot of DevOps's time. ...

View more Hi,   Achievement is a fun way to show you are active in the forum and did something. It would be nice if you could add Achievement badge for those who reported spam posts and they consider as spam and has been blocked. It could be like when a user reports a number of correct spam (they verified as spam and removed), then they receive this achievement. It is not about number of reports but rather number of correct reports. This will motivate other users to report spams and help community to become smarter. ...

View more Hi,   This forum is fully managed by Microsoft Employees and sometimes response to moderator requests are time consuming. In other forums like Microsoft Answers or Microsoft Q&A, they have a program called Volunteer Moderator program where they get help from active community users to do a moderation. I believe to speed up the moderation for this forum, it is good idea to create such a program. Normally , those who have posted several questions and received marked as answer or like and have been active in forum, we be invited to program, I recommend the program should be as follow:   1) before granting the Volunteer Moderator status, you should provide them with a training and teach them how to do it.   2) You may monitor Volunteer Moderators and guide them and advise them on how to be a good moderator and evaluate them to decide if they will continue to be a moderator or not like three months observation (while having permission).   3) Volunteer moderators would be able to perform the following tasks: Remove a post Edit a post for CoC Move a post to correct category Monitor and take action on posts reported a abuse ... View more Hi,   Since Microsoft announced the Windows 11, we are observing questions regarding the the Windows 11 in the Windows forum and there is no sub-category for the Windows 11 yet.
