    > Edit: I am happy to see that STM32CubeIDE is steadily improving

    I am not.

    It's the result of the same lazy and incompetent thinking that resulted in Salesforce being forced upon us instead of working towards real forum. This thinking, which prefers glitter to real gold, suckıng resources out of the real work, see https://community.st.com/s/idea/0873W000000KyjfQAC/detail. Remember, at the end of the day, it's us who are paying the price of all this in cost of chips. I am selfish and prefer paying for solid support rather than "clicky for the masses".

    Ultimately, this results in:

    Hi @Camilo LEMOS​ ,

    > I disagree that the onboarding flow is social functionality. It serves to decrease navigation pains for new members,

    OK I take that back then. I did not enter that and had impression that it was a way to fill in profile.

    However, I am not a new member, so why does it pester me? No, I don't need answer to this.

    > help them get acquainted with the different areas of the community, teach them how to follow their topics of interest, etc.

    > One of the strongest points of feedback we've historically heard from our new members on this platform is that navigation is difficult - this is one of the steps towards improving that (while being aware that the navigation itself needs to be improved).

    OK, but given after the update the number of misplaced posts in "About" increased, this whole thing probably does not work as intended...?

    Btw. the fact that "navigation is difficult" is mainly given by the messy design with various "cathegories" which started in Jive and was for some unexplicable reason brought here too, expanded by salesforce's inherent internal mess. Instead of clear tree or just a plain list of subfora.

    I've just noticed another regression:0693W00000Hp5gMQAR.pngWhen starting a new THREAD (and not calling it a "thread" is just another indication of the gross incompetence of the salesforce folks), having the editor pane for BODY (i.e. not details) of the post hidden/folded just encourages users to generate long SUBJECTs (i.e. not question) without any body.

    Something we are complaining about, ever since we've been blessed by salesforce, ST not even was unable to get fixed, but managed to get it worse.

    Yeah.

    Yes, that dialogue really does send entirely the wrong message - it literally prompts people to put the entire question into the title!

    Another one.

    As pointed out by Clive, *Search* got unusable, too - it forces the useless "Top Post" selection, which is a fuzzy "automagic" nonsense we've already rejected long ago. And now it's back. It should've been purged altogether, from all places, once for all.

    The idiocy goes as far as reverting to Top Post even after clicking on "more".

    And the user selection in Search ought to be remembered.

    Not had that, but 'Remember me' still never remembers.

    Hello everyone!

    The issue with login emails has been solved. We are looking into the search feature and having it default to Most Recent instead of the current Top Posts results.

    Thank you,
