Hey everyone :waving_hand: @trust_level_1

Our new Katalon Community Forum is now live!

We’ve refreshed the look, improved navigation, and made it easier to explore topics and connect with other testers.

We’re still fine-tuning a few things behind the scenes, so please stay patient in the meantime as everything settles in. :green_heart:

Now we’d love to hear from you

What do you think of the new design?
Is there anything that feels confusing, missing, or could work better?

Drop your thoughts below :backhand_index_pointing_down:
Your feedback helps us polish the experience and make the forum even better for everyone.

@Russ_Thomas introduced Tampermonkey to us at [forum.katalon.com] It's just too noisy! 😠 which enables us to customize the look of any web pages on browser locally.

I added a Tampermonkey script into my Chrome browser to customize the look of the https://forum.katalon.com/*/*

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Hide unwanted elements in Katalon Forum
// @version      0.2
// @description  originally suggested by Russ_Thomas at https://forum.katalon.com/t/trending-topics-banner-does-not-render-titles-correctly/87066/5, and revised at Nov 2025 to be in sync with the new page look
// @match        https://forum.katalon.com/*
// @match        https://forum.katalon.com/*/*
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    if(window !== window.top) return;
    var $ = window.jQuery, styBig, stySmall;
    insertStyles();
})();

function insertStyles() {
    var style = `
<style>
div#main-container {
    display:none;
}
div.welcome-banner {
    display:none;
}
section.navigation-container {
    margin-top: 10px;
}
div.custom-search-banner {
    display:none;
}
div.custom-search-banner-headline {
    display:none;
}
div.custom-search-banner-wrap > p {
    display:none;
}
div.navigation-container {
    font-size: 10pt;
}
table.topic-list {
    border-spacing: 0 10px;
}
table.topic-list thead {
    display:none;
}
table.topic-list td {
    padding: 15px 10px 10px 10px;
}
ul#navigation-bar {
    display:none;
}

table > tbody > tr[data-topic-id="182435"],
table > tbody > tr[data-topic-id="78531"] {
    display:none;
}
table > tbody > tr[data-topic-id=""] td,
table > tbody > tr[data-topic-id=""] td {
    display:none;
}

</style>`;
    $('body').append(style);
}

With this script, Tampermonkey turned the page to look like this:

I would prefer this unfriendly look without salutations.

Hey Bella,

The new Katalon Community Forum looks really clean and modern!
I love the improved navigation—it’s much easier to find topics and follow discussions now.

A few things I noticed:

  • Some sections still feel a bit empty or being rearranged, but I understand it’s still settling in.

  • The UI feels smooth, and the layout is clearer compared to the old forum.

  • Maybe adding a quick “Getting Started” guide or a short video tour could help new users.

Overall, great job to the team! :heart:
Excited to explore more and see the final polish.
