MS are switching off UserVoice

Bye Bye UserVoice! | DEVelopers HUT

Microsoft has announced that they are doing away with UserVoice.

If you read Daniel's excellent review of the stats I can see why - it's been completely ignored.

That decision follows on from the closure of the widely used MSDN forums in January.
Sadly the replacement, Microsoft Q&A is very poor by comparison-hard to navigate and not much used.

This sounds like the notices that the Vogon Constructor fleet put up for the Interstellar By-Pass.
If only a few people know it's there, it's unlikely to get used.

If you have ever had doubts that Access is m$oft's red headed step child........

I stumbled across the article this weekend. Had no idea what UserVoice was...

I wonder if they are relying on Feedback to replace UserVoice.

I'm more of a cynic and question whether this is really any actual loss ...

In this particular case, I think UserVoice was used for many products, not just Access.

 

[jdraw]

Agree Paul. But I don't think Access progressed much because of UserVoice.

 

[Pat Hartman]

No. But UserVoice did give others a chance to vote on suggestions. I used it a couple of times but it was hard to see related options so I could choose which one to vote on since each person only got so many votes and once you spent them, you didn't get them back until a decision was made on something you voted on.

The inability of them to "join up" related requests and also to simply ignore valid feature requests was quite awesome.

They also don't appear to read their own message boards - This question/ bug report for PowerPoint How Many Responses!! has had comments added to it for 4 1/2 years, and appears to have fallen on deaf ears.

 

[Isaac]

Like I say, it was no great loss, sadly

Here is the replacement. There are already a few good suggestions there, head on over and cast your votes...MS just might listen this time!
