While we appreciate all of the smoke-testing while these forums are new, we respectfully request that you do that in the Sandbox forums for any of the brands.

  What is this forum for? Please read before posting!

  What is the purpose of this forum?

  The purpose of this forum is to give users a voice on Forums. Users can give suggestions for improvements or vote up suggestions and know that the Forums team is listening. If you have a specific question regarding Forums please post questions to Forums Redesign – Q&A / Discussions. If you are encountering a Forums bug please post this in the Forums Issues forum.

  
  

  Best Practices

  • Only post suggestions
  • Only post one suggestion per thread, this will provide clarity to the suggestion and allow users to know what they are voting up
  • We encourage you to vote! Voting allows the Forums team to know what users want the most
  • Use Questions and not Discussion thread types, this will allow us to “close” suggestions once they are no longer relevant or have been addressed.

  Who reads these suggestions?

  As previously stated this is a place to be heard by directly by the Forums team. Although we may not respond to every post, we are actively reading through each suggestion. We will not implement every suggestion, however, we release once a month and commit to consider suggestions from the community every release.

  What's APPROPRIATE for this Profile Forum?
  Sean Jenkin Friday, April 15, 2011 7:31 PM

  It's for discussions on our profile system and our new recognition system. It is not a place to ask questions about Windows or Sharepoint or Insert your product here. There are specific forums for products and technologies. Please use them. Out of context forum threads will be deleted from this forum.
