Thank you for taking the time to report these issues.

> This is a real issue for our community, as many of our recurring meetings are scheduled on the **fourth Thursday** or **fourth Wednesday** of each month. We can no longer configure these correctly.

I am investigating this one, at first glance it looks like a recent regression but I will share more details soon.

> Since the update, categories with Events enabled seem to only offer **“New Event”** as the primary action. As a result, it is no longer obvious how to create a regular topic in these categories.

One thing to note here is that only users who are able to create events will see this Create Event button in place of the New Topic button. Regular users still see the create topic button as usual for the category.

I will have a chat internally with the team and check if it is an intentional change that the new topic button is replaced for users with event creation permissions.
