General Site Feedback


Notice of Site Closure
Effective July 15, 2013, this suggestion box site will be closed, and all active suggestions and forums on this site will be archived and deactivated. Thank you for your participation!

Your feedback continues to be important to us. For follow-up questions and answers, visit the site feedback channel or the Microsoft forums as follows.

In addition, the Microsoft TechNet Wiki is a great platform for sharing your knowledge with the community by creating content in your area of expertise.


The Suggestion Box is a place where you can share ideas and suggestions, prioritize them, and help deliver community content. Use this forum to share ideas and suggestions for the Community Ninjas feedback site, from look and feel to incentive, voting and other features.

Our goal is to help identify information needed by the community and to work together with community members to curate, develop, or point to that information, whether it’s on member blogs, forums, TechNet Wiki articles, Microsoft.com or other site. We can only improve with your feedback.

Please note that this forum is moderated and is a voluntary participation-based project. Please do not send any novel or patentable ideas, copyrighted materials, samples or demos which you do not want to grant a license to Microsoft. If you need support, please visit Microsoft Support.

How can we improve the experience?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

          • Provide a list of forum sites

            The vast variety of places where one can seek help or offer ideas and feedback is very confusing.

            For example, there is no clear relationship between the "social" forums at http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories and [Community] Microsoft Answers at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us; and many other "communities" are listed on http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/Page/forums.

            Please provide ONE place with a comprehensive list [that includes summaries of the purpose of each site], and encourage those responsible for individual sites to display a link to the list [eg replacing the links in documents like the Announcement at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/suggest/threads].

            • Provide an explanation of the communityninjas categories

              The purpose of each of the existing 7 category choices is unclear.
              For example, what difference was intended between "Community" and "Engagement"?

                • Ability to buy License Keys online

                  There needs to be a section in TechNet where we can purchase just the license key (for any software needed) and gain immediate access to the key.

                  • Show me the list and status of all my ideas

                    Where can I find the list of all the ideas I have submitted, and current status. I would prefer not to have to come to the site to "pull" that data, I want a subscription so that it is sent to me.

                    • TechEd 2012 flyer downloads

                      At the Scripting Guys Connect Zone there were a couple of powershell handouts titled Quick Reference Core Installations (R2 edition) and Windows Web Access (the green one). I would love to see these available for download. Thanks!

                      • Warn new users they must first sign-in

                        If you enter you new idea, and then mis-enter your e-mail address, the form update fails, and on refresh, all that you typed is gone. Warn new users that they must first create ID/Sign in before posting an idea.

                          From Ning here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tnwiki/thread/0a066500-a72e-4a0b-9709-bc7c74a7bca8):

                          An issue is on top CSS Or Community list.
                          The community PM gets the estimated "# of impacted customers" or total views of the community thread, and requested a Wiki as the quick solution.
                          The community PM track the Wiki Views, to understand whether the impacted user actually find it.
                          Based on the result, the community PM decide whether additional optimization (Blogging, KB, Sticky notes, DL/MVP awareness, Keyword) is needed.
                          For Wiki, the discoverability is the top issue compared to online help/KB, the view # provide important…

Currently, the integrated profile shows only the last N entries in the activity stream. The activity stream should function as a "log" that shows *ALL* activities, so that contributors can pull metrics and analyze/report results. If web page loading time is a factor, put a limited of N items per page on it, and allow anyone who desires to paginate back to the beginning of the list. Beyond this, it would be helfpul of the page views that drive the achievements were displayed here beside the…
