The "new" forums are still being worked on, we have some major roadblocks with security and eCommerce to take into account and we are using the PA forums as a separate platform for testing feedback only. There is no ETA on the new forums but we are actively seeking solutions to remove the roadblocks but it is a bit more complicated than just turning on new forums.
No more work will be done on these forums as we focus on the new ones unless it is account/access related or uploading videos, screenshots, newsletters etc.
