Here’s a quick summary of some of the updates made to the forum since my last post. Along with various smaller adjustments, these are the larger changes:

- Our [custom theme](https://collective.flashbots.net/t/forum-redesign-new-theme-announcement/678) has been set to default!  
The theme is available in both light- and darkmode, with the standard Discourse theme available under user preferences.

- The content catalog from [Writings](https://writings.flashbots.net/) has been ported over to the forum, with correct tags and categories as described above.

- The pinned posts in each category has been updated with brief description and relevant resources. These topics are now pinned indefinitely, instead of for a set duration.

- A couple of plugins and components have been installed:

## What’s next:

- We are experimenting with adding a “featured”-section on the [landing page](https://collective.flashbots.net/) to direct attention to important or time-sensitive topics.

- We are working on ways to more seamlessly connect posts on Writings with their corresponding forum thread.

- Perhaps move the #Site Feedback -category to be a subcategory under #The Flashbots Ship .

# Feedback, thoughts, ideas, and inspiration on how to improve further

With the forum being live for 6 months, our new theme being default, and the overall structure and feature-set settling in, I think it’s a great time to collectively think about how we can improve things further.

I find pol.is to be the best way to gather feedback and identify areas to focus on for broad topics like this. I’ve therefore initiated this: [**👉 Flashbots Forum polis 👈**](https://pol.is/7jeweneshn) for us to collectively brainstorm on how we can improve the forum experience further.

I would really appreciate it if you could interact with it by voting on the existing statements and adding new ones. It is anonymous and it **only takes a couple of minutes**.

The polis will run until the end of February, make sure to check in every now and then to vote on new statements being added.  
**Thank you!🙏**
