After a couple recent posts, such as:

• Another One Bites The Dust
• Microsoft Feedback Portal Suggestion Disappeared Again Without Notice Or Explanation

where I discovered that a Feedback Portal Suggestion was deleted, and then another, and yet another. Today, I decided to take a closer look at what I’ve post here on my site and their current status within the Feedback Portal. I stopped after reviewing 34 suggestions from 9 different posts as adding more does nothing to reinforce the point to be made (and yes, there were even more that I could add to the list below! I simply pulled them as they appeared in my blog – so chronologically I suppose). The results speak for themselves and there is absolutely nothing anyone from Microsoft could ever say to be able to shine a different light or spin this in any positive manner. I truly was not expecting what I found and the words escape me at the moment.

I realize I’m beating a dead horse, and this will be my final post on the topic. But this compilation makes it crystal clear that what initially seemed like isolated incidents are far more widespread, so much so that the Feedback Portal feels like little more than a joke, just not a funny one.

Review of the Status of My Feedback Portal Suggestions

No.	Status	Suggestion
1	✘	Fix the Containers Documents LastUpdated Value Bug It would be nice when querying this property that is returned the proper value.
2	✘	Allow Aliasing Of Fields With Captions Please fix the issue inhibiting aliasing table fields that have captions. No property should ever override basic SQL functionality!

Fix Bug with Table Caption Overriding SQL Alias I reported this years ago and am wondering if you are ever going to address the bug in which Table caption overrride SQL Aliases?
3	✘	Button 'Display When' Property Fix the 'Display When' documentation or property. Currently, if a button has 'Use Theme' set to Yes, then it does not print even if the 'Display When' property is set for it to print. Either update the documentation to properly cover all such exceptions or, and the preferrable solution would be to fix it so the control actually prints.

???	✔	None!

So every single suggestion, of the 34 I checked, has been deleted from the Feedback Portal. Documentations requests, bug reporting, feature requests, every one … gone!

If you try to access any of the above you will be prompted to login?! Eventually you will be redirected and see the following error page because the pages no longer exist, Microsoft has deleted them.

Think of the time spent testing, identifying bugs and then creating all those suggestions so the Dev Team could be informed and address them. Don’t forget, the Feedback Portal is explicitly where I (MVPs) was directed to submit bug information and general suggestions. Think of the number of fellow Office/Access users that took the time to participate and upvote each of these suggestions, add their thoughts and comments. This is the respect Microsoft shows end-users in 2026!

Between the number of continuous bugs rolling out with every new feature, every Windows/Office Update and Microsoft outright deleting people’s suggestions, it truly doesn’t get worse than this.

This is absolutely disgusting and pathetic! Tell me again how Microsoft is listening!

What’s even more interesting in all of this is the fact that longstanding SPAM entries and comments remain, yet legitimate Feedback with upvotes such as what is listed above was all removed. Have I been targeted? You tell me.
