Category Forum Update - August 18th, 2021

Greetings Gamers,

Just wanted to take a moment and give everyone a heads up with a change that will be coming soon to these forums. In an effort to better align our topics to other Xbox support avenues such as support.xbox.com, we will be rolling out new categories on Wednesday, August 18th.

So, we have taken it upon ourselves to offer a more straightforward and clean-cut experience for our categories. This means that when you start a new post, you will no longer see some of the old categories, (like TV Hardware Information, Xbox on Consoles, Xbox on Mobile Devices), but instead a new set to pick from that should better fit with your questions.

What does this mean for you?

This means when you start a new post, just choose the appropriate category that best fits what you are asking. Simple as that! If you have posted a question before, this should be very familiar for you. If you’re new to the forums, first off…Welcome!!! Glad to have you! And feel free to utilize the new categories to your heart’s content.

What if I have an open post?

Don’t worry, all the posts are still going to be here, and our amazing community of experts, moderators, enthusiasts, and gamers are still going to be going through these and answering them to the best of our ability. This change will strictly just affect new posts being created and submitted.

When is this happening?

We plan to roll this out August 18th and plan for this to be a very minor update that should not affect the use of these forums during that time. No outage needed, continue using them as you normally would during that time.

And that is it! We hope this shift makes submitting your questions a bit easier. Looking forward to this change and what people think, and as always from everyone here at Team Xbox, Happy Gaming!!!

:)
