@nuriensing I adjusted the New Topic button to match the blue color of our other buttons so it stands out a bit more. Does that help?
For the profile section edits, it would be tough to edit what’s there without a decent amount of work and it may not even be possible on the plan tier we’re on. I’ll research what I can do in this area, but I have a feeling modifying it would take some custom plugins which we don’t have the ability to install.
For the voting, what’s the benefit of voting up and down versus the existing like button? I think it’s fairly common now for most systems to not have a downvote option as it can be discouraging for the users that make the post. If we then didn’t allow downvoting, an upvote is about the same as a heart/like.
For accepted answers, completely agree. I just enabled this for all the discussion categories so now the topic owner or moderators can mark posts as the solution. This will then make those posts rank higher in search results. You also can filter topic lists by what is solved/unsolved. Checkout this post between @daveguderian and I as an example.
