Bye Bye Access TechCommunity Forum?

Microsoft Tech Community Access Forum

I thought it might be a glitch when I could no longer access the site yesterday, but now it has been confirmed by others as well (John left me a comment to the effect), the Microsoft Tech Community Access forum appears to be gone:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/access/ct-p/Access_Cat

If you try to navigate to the above URL you get prompted to login and will eventually get redirected to:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/

From there, good luck finding a way to navigate to Access, or Excel, ….

That said, I did manage to eventually find Access and it can be directly accessed via:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/microsoft365/discussions/access

If you really want to know how to locate it, here you go:

  1. Navigate to https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/
  2. From the header menu click on the Products drop-down and select Microsoft 365
  3. Click on the Discussion Spaces tab
  4. Click on the Show More button
  5. Click on the Access card

Microsoft couldn’t have made it any easier! 🙄
 

Access Blog

You should also notice that the Access Blog received a facelift:
