Hi Mike,
Thank you for the details you provided, and appreciate your time.
For issues 1 and 2, let me engage the internal team for this.

For issue # 3, "topic of Discussion forums, there is a problem with font size in the subtitles of posts",
Can you create a support case and provide a detailed example? Someone will look into this issue with you.

Thank you
