For example, a table like this:This has been posted using the code editor, so it has inappropriate C syntax highlighting. On the old forum, there was a ‘Preformatted’ option in the paragraph formats menu: The ‘Code’ option in the new forum is not equivalent:It’s a character format - not a paragraph format.It doesn’t work for blocks of text (such as the table example above) - it’s for highlighting individual keywords within a paragraph.  I made a post about this for the old forum in the How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution article (note that the new forum has mangled the examples in that post).We need an equivalent for the new forumPerhaps a ‘Plain Text’ option in the code editor?

In the editor pane’s menu row, the icon to enter Code is hidden under “...”. As it’s one of the most used things here, please change it with something else, e.g. the smileys (which are entirely unneeded in a technical forum), or the 3 line alighment icons (which are extremely rarely used in a technical forum), to be always directly present in the editor.JW

I am sad that I can’t use markdown in community.st.com To be honest, I am interesting in the only one feature: codeblock. I think that ``` or ```bash is very convenient and became industry standard. Even Telegram messenger supports it. Do you plan to add markdown codeblock style? It is weird to click on the … and click to “Code” item in menu… Are we on technical forum? Why we have quick access to Text color but not to codeblock? I feel like new community.st.com comes from outsource designer which really don’t understand content of the forum.

Here: I guess it indicates a “sticky” post, but please add a pop-up - as for the ‘Solved’ tick: 

I have copied this link from the post “STM32CubeIDE 2.2.0 released”:https://community.st.com/stm32cubeide%2Dmcus%2D28/stm32cubeide%2D2%2D2%2D0%2Dreleased%2D166532 But that link actually goes to:Text of the URL (with the https prefix removed, to stop the forum linkifying it):community.st.com/stm32-mcus-embedded-software-32/how-to-send-int-values-efficiently-through-cdc-usb-39682?postid=166532#post166532Which does, in fact have the same ?postid=166532#post166532 as the other link!

Periodic password expiry is now widely recognised as counterproductive; eg, from the UK National Cyber Security Centre:The problems with forcing regular password expiry Please stop this: Especially as it does allow you to just “reset” your password to exactly the same as it was before!

Add webp format support for avatars and others. It helps to save disk usage and make user experience with this forum more convenient. For now I can’t use webp because “Sorry, we couldn't upload your file because we don't support that file type. Supported file types: .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .gif”

I suggest to allow like and dislike votes. Dislike is important to indicate that the post contains wrong/weird information or working but not good technical decision. This is how best practices work.

I have topic. I can’t edit original post so I should add comment when I have new information/solution for a problem. Then I got new Notification. I suggest to not notify user about his comments. 

User should have ability to edit title of his topic. This is how good forums work.

When attempting to reply or thumb-up while not logged in, a popup window appears which directs me to log in. However, the wording there is confusing to users:Why would I as user be concerned with “SSO” and “Saml2?”I recommend to remove “Login with SSO” and rename “Login with Saml2” in the button to mere “Login” or “Click here to log in”.JW

How can one sort search results by date?Marc

I’m absolutely sure this post had an attachment, as ​@ChrisO  writes in that post.It appears to got lost during migration.Can ST please check.I wonder, whether this is related to the fact that the attachment was added not to the initial post of the thread, but later on in the thread. And of course the question arises, how many similar attachments got lost.Thanks,JW

I can’t find the edit button on any of my posts.  

Gramar = Grammar. 😁I am currently studying the GPDMA peripheral in the STM32U5XX.I am trying to use a linked-list with 2D addressing to control an ILI9488 from the FMC, speeding refresh rates up further apart from fully using the GPU2D. I am running into some issues with the GPDMA, so I need to study it further.The comments were written by engineers, and they probably spent more time on the quality of good and reliable code than on writing the comments. I'm a bit like that myself, but I expected slightly better comments from ST.May I provide feedback on the text in the header of stm32u5xx_hal_dma_ex.c?I have corrected the spelling of that part and this can be used to improve these comments. No pun intended, but help offered.What’s the best way to do this? Posting it here, or better send some private email to the involved party? 

Here: In the ‘Best Answer’ shown at the top of the thread (immediately after the OP), it’s on a black background:  But, in its original position within the thread view, it’s on a grey background: Note also that the line spacing is different - so the “ASCII Art” no longer works properly

Please disable this restriction.  I don’t see how allowing everyone to download TouchGFX Designer can violate any regulation.

When writing a reply, clicking Send does visually nothing until the thread reloads with the new post.This can take quite a couple of seconds, during which one wonders whether he did click Send properly or what’s going on.It would be nice if clicking Send would result in some immediate visual confirmation, before the actual reload.JW PS> I have no idea what “product area” nor “tags” would this post belong to, so I just clicked some random. Maybe “Other” could be added for such purposes?

Please fix Related topics list for Feedback forum. It is weird to see hardware topics while making topic in Feedback forum section.The same for tags 

I have suggestion. For example I can write post whole day. After about 10 hours while adding image/attachment I get strange msg “Yocto 5.0.webp: Something went wrong, please check your link and try again.” (where Yocto 5.0.webp is a name of my attachment) Perhaps this msg should be fixed to something like “Yocto 5.0.webp: Something went wrong, perhaps your session is expired. You should manually save all your progress and reload the page”

Here:But the most recent post in that thread is 1 year old: I guess this is an old thread woken by spam, and the spam has now been deleted ?But the forum should not be highlighting it in the ‘Recent Activity’ list.

I met the same problem: my account was blocked with msg “You've been banned or your account has been deleted”. I am old member. My post was about stm32 products with links to github repo. Please unblock me. Please allow old member (with history) to challenge the blocking. For me not clear how to do it without another account.

Should it ?I think the old forum did ?

Follow-on from: Generally, when a thread gets abandoned there may be some useful content in the replies - so it makes sense to keep the thread. But, if the thread is abandoned with no replies at all - is there any point in keeping it ?Examples:  (all now locked due to no activity for >1 year)
