I suggest you contact Edwiser as it is their plugin. (I've asked the moderators to move your post to the General plugins forum by the way -no need for you to do anything in that respect) Moodle 4.1 is also very old now so it might help if you are able to upgrade as well.

Well I noticed it was in maintenance mode for a while today so presumably they were upgrading it - it still looks a bit different to me and it rather slow, so hopefully it is just getting back to normal.

No idea what has happened to your post Visvanath. Maybe it just got lost in a temporary internet failure. I doubt a moderator would have removed it unless it was reported, and I have no idea if it was or not.

@Gareth: There is a mini-moot in Leeds on March 11 which I am going to and I know a couple of UK based HQ team members are also attending https://www.eventbrite.com/e/moodle-leeds-tickets-1977279366813
I am hoping new HQ team members who post will add profile pictures and a bit of description in their profiles to help the long-term Moodlers.

@Gareth - you make some good points and indeed, re I would love to see the forums become more vibrant again, to bring back that overall community connection that everyone can engage in, supporting each other, sharing different experiences, ideas, perspectives and innovations. I very much agree and have also noticed that there has been a decrease in activity in the forums. I am only speculating but it might be partly because forums are nowadays a rather old fashioned way of getting help - people prefer the instant messaging type like Matrix, or more general outlets like Facebook/ Reddit/Stack Overflow. That's a shame. Another reason might be because newbies might be a little shy to post if they view the forums as a group of experienced Moodlers who are talking to each other: will they be welcome? I hardly ever see regular teachers on here, probably because they have no free time,  they don't use Moodle for the reasons you said or because they get their help from someone in their insititution or get a paid help service. Admins and devs maybe seek help in those other places. (Oh and another plug for the Get Involved in Moodle.org forums course here - webinar below) And another, other reason, which might be contentious, is the need for Moodle HQ to engage more with the forums in Moodle.org to show they are listening and committed to the open source project. That's more difficult as they are very busy with working on Moodle, but I think it's nice to see a few HQ faces/names on here to consolidate that trust. And there are some! I know there are PAG groups; I know there is the Community contributions team (for developers and language strings ) but again they are something different. It is of course just possible that in its 'refocusing' HQ is deciding to concentrate on other things, and we have to accept that. We should perhaps investigate the other sources of Moodle conversations and see if we can assist there?
