Forum suggestions

Are there no dedicated forum sections like the old forum had?  As an example the old forum had the custom actions section which had any verified solution pinned at the top so they were easy to browse through same with the deployments section. The feature requests are also missing from the current layout as well.

This new forum has none of that and it makes it pain to find or browse working solutions that you were necessarily looking for and didn't know to search for but found useful nonetheless.  There used to be a working custom reports section that was nice to browse through for report creation ideas or solutions that you didn't' need to search for.

The verified solutions should be pinned at the top of their respective "labels" category or add the option to the sorted by drop down to make solutions easier to find and maybe cut down on the duplicate questions for already existing solutions.

I don't find that to be as useful because anybody can put whatever labels they want on a topic/question and it makes them largely meaningless.  The builtin reports section has questions in there that have nothing to do with the builtin reports in LS.  The old forum had that same section with just the reports posted which made it way easier to find and search for a particular report.

Hi @steveb thank you for clarifying, we will look into this further to see how we can improve this feature

That would be much appreciated.

Hello @steveb thank you for your feedback. In response to your question "Are there no dedicated forum sections like the old forum had?" These sections now appear as 'Labels' on the landing page for Forum Posts  (right-hand side), it is mandatory to apply a label when submitting a post and it is also possible to subscribe to a particular topic or 'label'.
