Community release notes for July 01, 2026
Here's what's new! We've rolled out several fixes and improvements to make your Community experience smoother, more reliable, and more secure.
๐ ๏ธ Forums
"Give Kudos" button now works correctly on author and profile cards
What's changed: The "Give Kudos" button on author cards and profile cards was showing a success message but wasn't actually awarding kudos. This has been fixed.
What this means for you: When you give kudos from an author card or profile card, it will now be properly recorded and reflected in the recipient's kudos balance.
Rich text editor layout fixed in post creation flows
What's changed: The rich text editor in the Ask a Question, Write an Article, and Write a Discussion flows was consuming excessive vertical space, making it difficult to use. This has been corrected.
What this means for you: Creating new posts, articles, and discussions now displays the editor at the correct size, giving you a smoother writing experience.
House ad section removed
What's changed: We've removed the house ad section from Community forums.
What this means for you: A cleaner, less cluttered browsing experience across the forums.
๐ Search
Promoted search results and "Recommended" lozenge restored
What's changed: Promoted search results and the "Recommended" lozenge on search results had stopped working correctly. This has been fixed.
What this means for you: When you search the Community, promoted and recommended results will now appear as expected, helping you find high-quality content faster.
๐ค Profiles
Rank lozenge and badges restored on author cards in articles
What's changed: The rank lozenge, about-author information, and badges were not displaying on author cards when viewing articles as a non-admin user. This has been fixed.
What this means for you: You'll now see the full author card - including rank and badges when reading Community articles, regardless of your account type.
Private profile data better protected
What's changed: We've fixed a security issue that could have allowed unauthorized access to private profile information.
What this means for you: Your private profile data is now better protected and only visible as intended by your privacy settings.
๐ Security
Security hardening for the Kudos system
What's changed: We've resolved a security issue in the Kudos system to better protect kudos-related actions from unauthorized manipulation.
What this means for you: Your kudos balance is now more secure and accurately reflects genuine recognition from the Community.
