I don't think it constitutes a PIE item but, could the UX Team to take a look at what happens when you click "New Forum" in the "New Category" interface? A little tweak would improve the user's experience of the tool. (see video)

This is what the pop-up window looks like when it loads:

This is what it could look like:

    On a related note, there seem to be two different but parallel Forum and Topic creation workflows on the platform at the same time.

    If I create a Forum from scratch using Discussions - New Forum or New Topic, I see this:

    Whereas, if I create a new Forum as part of the create Groups workflow, I see what I think is a vestigial workflow that needs to be updated:

    Also on the topic of Discussion forums, there is a problem with font size in the subtitles of posts:

    Nope…even without the UserID, there is still a formatting problem:
