News & Announcements

On September 23, we will be relaunching the Meta Horizon Developer Forum. We've heard your feedback, and we’re excited to let you know about our plans to provide you with an updated, streamlined, and improved forum experience for your development needs. What's New?

I've received a report from someone who have noted that the "Start a Conversation" button is not displaying in the forum index. Obviously if that is happening to you, then you wouldn't be able to start a thread about it to tell me, so if you're having an issue, please send me a direct message so I can figure out how widespread this issue is.

Welcome to our new Developer Forums! The upgrade to our new forum software is now complete, and everything should be working properly on a technical level. Over the next week or so we'll be making other changes to things like the design, layout, and categories of the forums as well. This will also include changes to the forum categories and organization, and will include archiving some of the old content—while older conversations will remain accessible, new replies will no longer be allowed, and new conversations will need to be started in the new categories. We're excited about the cool stuff we have planned for this forum, and we can't wait to roll it out to you. Stay tuned!

As my fellow community manager klburns posted on the Quest Forums here, The Meta Developer Forums will be undergoing a major platform upgrade! This change should improve both the performance of the forums as well as the UX, making the forums easier to use and to operate. For convenience, I'll include the key elements of the other thread here as well: What to Expect: Starting at 6 am PDT on July 9: the community will be down for a few hours while we perform the upgrade. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience. After the upgrade is complete, the community will be in read-only mode for a few more hours while we ensure everything is working smoothly. During this time, you will be able to read existing content, but you won't be able to post new comments or create new threads. Once the read-only period is over, the community will be fully functional again, and you'll be able to enjoy all the benefits of the upgrade. Community Structure
