How to create a new topic

If you’re new to the forum and wondering where the new topic button is don’t worry!

We’ve currently disabled the ability to create new topics for brand new users. Once you’ve been on the forum for a little while (reading posts, liking, etc.) you’ll be promoted to trust level 1, which will allow you to post a new topic. This is only a temporary measure to help limit spam as we’ve seen a large number of new users join in the past week.

Feel free to respond to this thread if you need help posting a question and we can manually change your trust level.

Also a reminder to search before you post! :smile:

Thanks

How long will it roughly take to get onto trust level 1?

@Simon_Bratel_R_Toronto It looks like you’re already trust level 1. Just refresh and you should see the new topic button.

Hi Josh,

I am in a quest to find a way to embed Google Maps in Figma. Every solution I have been reading and testing out there uses a map simulation with static images.

I would like to ask the community how they overcome this problem. Perhaps there isn’t a solution at the moment. Even that would help me to relax and accept the true fact that Figma and the plugins are still being developed and don’t have this feature.

Thanks for helping out.

Hi,

I’ve already posted one topic and I don’t understand why I can’t post a new one. Please unblock my access to posting a new topic.

Thanks.

Hello, I need to ask a question about a potential bug. Can I have level 1 access please?

Hey all, since things have slowed down a bit, we removed the TL1 limit to create a new topic. All of you should be able to create a new topic now.

We still have our auto-spam bot in place which may flag your post for review. If this happens our team will work on approving as quickly as possible. :slight_smile:

Hi Josh,

Hmm it’s a good thing to limit the spam. But for a enterprise user like me, it should be enabled without any restrictions. And i don’t think a user with enterprise license will spam here. Instead of holding them, you can make every new user to post a topic - should complete a short training on how to post and what to avoid while posting and make them agree to the terms and conditions and then allow them to post will be a better way. Hope i made sense here. I appreciate if Figma can have a look into it.

Thanks,
Ravikiran
