Your post counter is off by one
So I came here to report various bugs in Outlook, because Microsoft leaves me no other way to contact them directly, and they don't make it easy to report problems with their products no matter how big or small. It's a one way street. Take it or leave it. That's okay, I will be leaving soon anyway. But during my stay here, I noticed a couple of bugs in this very platform, the platform I came to use to report bugs in Outlook. That's too much for me. You know software bugs are truly unique. Most bugs, you step on 'em, and they're gone. But software bugs? You step on them, and they just multiply right before your eyes, not in the dark. I made 1 post and while it was awaiting approval, I started typing up another. It gets auto-saved (good thinking there!), but I opened up the site in a new tab to check on something else. Then I went to check my profile and it said I had made "2 posts". By the time I published my second post, my post counter said I had made 3 posts.
Highlighting with the cursor in Word does not work.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to select individual letters or text passages with the cursor in Word. I can only select complete lines or words by double-clicking. If I open the document on a different device with a different account, it works. It would be great if someone could help me with this.
Configuring an audit for file share access
My goal is to have access to certain file shares by certain groups or users be logged. I have created a group policy that enables "Audit File System" in Advanced Audit Configuration. I then configure a SACL for the desired file share targeting my username as the principal (for testing purposes). It works. I can see in the Security log whenever I access the file share. The issue I am having is that I am also recording events by the System user and I'm not sure why that is happening or how to prevent it. The events are for other files not related to the SACL I configured. My understanding is that only users/groups in the relevant SACL will be recorded in the logs.What’s New in the MTC? September 2023 – Community Ranks
Our Mission at the MTC is to provide a community Microsoft users can get the latest news, ask questions, learn new skills, and connect with peers and Microsoft experts from around the world. This month, we are rolling out a new ranking system designed to recognize users’ contributions to the community and add a little more ‘Microsoft’ to the MTC. What are the Community Ranks? We now have two ranking ladders to recognize both types of our tech community members. We have our Contributors Ranks for those who come to the MTC to interact and ask/answer questions in our forums, blogs, and events. Some of you Microsoft gamers may notice the subtle nod 😉 Contributor Ranks Onyx Contributor Titanium Contributor Diamond Contributor Platinum Contributor Gold Contributor Silver Contributor Bronze Contributor Steel Contributor Iron Contributor Brass Contributor Copper Contributor And for our members who come to the MTC to catch up on news and learn something new from the blogs, we have our Reader Ranks! These are replacing our Visitor/Member ranks, and once you start posting in the MTC, you will move into the Contributor Ranks. Reader Ranks Senior Reader Prolific Reader Regular Reader Frequent Reader Casual Reader Occasional Reader New Reader (Please note that these rankings are intended for fun and are not a measure of MTC’ers technical competence.) What goes into the Community Ranks? When you become a member of the MTC, you start climbing the ranking ladder, starting as a New Reader. As you contribute more and more to the community, you will start to climb the rank ladder. Here are some of the key ingredients that go into our ranking recipe (*These points are awarded each time an activity is completed): Viewing messages (0.25 points) Commenting on blogs, ideas, and TKB articles (1 point) Creating new discussion topics (1 point) Replying to forum discussions (2 points) Giving (2 points) and receiving Kudos (4 points) Contributing Ideas (5 points) Authoring blog articles (10 points) Publishing Knowledge Base articles (10 points) Getting your replies marked as a solution (15 points) Simply put, the more you engage and interact with the MTC, the more points you earn and the higher your community ranking will be! If you have any questions on these new rankings or you’d like to share feedback with the Tech Community Team, let us know in the comments below.
