Forum looks unusual so far, but text size in the topics and comments (14 px) seems too small for me.
Looks like we can’t vote for features we want anymore (so i guess they’re going to be ignored even more?), and the contrast here just looks terrible on top of the small font
@Celine_Figma, each time you log in to the forum, the user's forum account avatar changes to the Figma account avatar.
Change the avatar by uploading an image that does not look like the Figma account avatar;
Save the changes;
Log out of the forum account;
Log in to the forum using the Figma account from step 1.
Expected result: The forum account avatar should match the image uploaded in step 3 of the reproduction steps.
Actual result: The forum account avatar does not match the image uploaded in step 3 of the reproduction steps, i.e. it was automatically changed to the Figma account avatar.
Wanted to edit my previous comment because I saw votes were coming later but I also can’t edit it?

Feature requests:
Push notifications.
RSS feeds by categories/tags/users.
Improving the reply/quote system. It is currently impossible to tell which post was being responded to without quoting. It is also not possible to go to the original post via a quote.
Improving search results. Display more than just the first post in search results. Search topics/posts by username (aka @mention).
Styling viewed (visited) topics. Add a style for visited links (the :visited CSS pseudo-class).
Drafts. Add the ability to save drafts for new topics/posts so that they can be edited and/or published later.
Ability to delete your own posts.
Deleting a forum account from settings.

Hi Figma Team,
Thanks for the new forum! It looks very great, but after just five minutes of using it, I noticed some big UX issues:
Lost Account I lost my old account, even if use the same mail, I couldn’t access to it and had to create a new one, which is really annoying. (My old account still exist).
Confusing Topic Creation I usually come to the forum to ask questions or suggest features. I was surprised to see that the firsts options are “Question” or “Conversation.” Why is the category hidden after the description? It’s very important! A suggestion isn’t a question or a conversation. Choosing a category first would make things much clearer !
Too Little Content on Screen There isn’t enough content visible on the screen. The line height for topics is too big, and on desktop, I can only see about five posts at a time. Previously it was much more compact.
No Voting on Feature Ideas Before, we could vote on feature suggestions and easily see what was popular. Now that feature is missing.
Overall, the new design looks nicer, but the user experience feels worse (for my usage). In hope you will continue to bring improvements to the new forum, Matteo.

I confirm @tank666 ‘s reply. @Apolline , you have only 60 min to edit your posts.

Thanks for flagging this! I can also reproduce it. I’ve reported internally for further investigation.
@Celine_Figma Hoy Trate de ingresar en mi cuenta de Figma pero se borró. No Pude acceder a mis archivos y me guió para crear una cuenta nueva. ¿Cómo puedo recuperar mi cuenta?

My account is also lost :(
Is it any way to receive notifications through the forum now? Email notifications are not very convenient.
How about notifications when some liked your comment? There is no way to know about it now?

Hey Matteo, thank you for your detailed feedback!
1.Can you clarify if you mean your Figma or Forum account? For the forum, forum accounts are connected to your Figma accounts as you can only login to forum via Figma SSO.
2. Thank for the feedback. We have noted it and added to our list of improvements. In the meantime, for that category, you can choose “Conversation”.
4. 'The voting feature, is paused for now as we work on improving them. Stay tuned! You can find more information here:
Whoa, there is no option to add a video anymore. But how to help someone with difficult questions without adding a video? Video is also good for explaining a problem. Gif format is not a best choice for that because of its quality.

Hey @tank666 , after checking internally, there is a limitation on our end. To ensure your profile picture (avatar) is accurately reflected in your Community profile, you'll need to update it directly within your Figma account, as the two are linked. We've added this to our list of improvements. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!

Hey @Nellya , I can confirm that videos are generally not supported directly in the Figma Forum. We recommend uploading your videos to external platforms such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or Loom, and then sharing the link directly in your post.
Please bring back the <kbd> tag (or even better, add it to the WYSISYG editor). It was a neat way to display keyboard shortcuts. Older comments with these tags are now barely readable, looking something like: ctrlshiftaltt.
please bring back /unread, kinda weird that you removed it -.-
Hi, @Celine_Figma. I tried to add a video uploaded to Dropbox and Google Drive in the comment, but all I got was just a link, video wasn’t embedded. Any suggestions why it happen?
I also tried to embed it, but got an error “The provided domain is not supported”.

Hey @Nellya , after double checking, I confirm Google Drive is not a supported media for embed video. (I’ve also edited my previous post to avoid any confusion here). I’ve shared your feedback internally. As for now, please share the link directly in your post.
(I’ve just tested with Loom and Youtube, these platforms are working for embed video).
Thank you for flagging this, and your understanding!
Notifications about the best answers was marked are on, but i don’t receive them when it happens
Presentation embeds are broken. When linking to a presentation, it always embeds the first page in the file, instead of the one that is linked to.
I used to track the implementation of the features I was interested in through upvotes. Where can I see which topics I upvoted? So far, it feels like you deleted my upvotes (or access to this list) without asking. Thus, the new forum became useless for me because I didn't remember dozens of topics that I upvoted over the years.

Good catch @Nellya ! I’ve reported this issue and a fix has been deployed for the Email notifications when the best answer is marked. This should now be functioning as expected!

@Avokadomos , thanks for noticing it! We also flagged it to the team. They are still investigating and working on a fix. We will keep you posted.

@9136 Thank you for your feedback. I understand how this can be frustrating. I’ve also shared your feedback internally to our team for visibility.
