Does anyone have any idea when will the 'New Pokestop button be back??
The official post had the date 18th August, and the time that I am posting this is 10 PM 20th August, and still no sign of the option to nominate a new pokestop, I just hit Level 38, and was so excited to put in some nomination, but all my excitement is ruined, please fix it at the earliest.
Thank you for reading

Congratulations on making level 38!
Sorry that nominations are currently unavailable. Did you know that you can also take the Wayfarer review test and begin reviewing nominations in your area? To be honest, reviewing is almost more important to help other nominations along and will help yours go faster once you do submit. You'll also learn what to look for and what a good nomination looks like, so you'll be able to make better quality nominations once they're available to you.
I also suggest joining a local community of reviewers on Discord, Facebook, or Reddit, or even an global group to help brush up on what may be eligible in your area. Tons of friendly people looking to help!

We don't know when nominations will be back online. The announcement that they were turned off simply stated:
PokéStop Nominations: PokéStop nominations will be suspended for a week while we perform some maintenance on this feature. While we hope this pause won’t take the whole week, we’ll keep you posted when nominations are live again.
It's been over a week, unfortunately, but we were told to expect an announcement on the Wayfarer site soon, so hopefully they also include an update on submissions.
Since you don't have a local group, I've found this group very helpful and has people from all over the world.

We're still waiting for a reply from Niantic about this, there are at least 3 other posts about this already.

Thanks for replying, there are very less players around the area where I live so, there aren't much Social groups, and I have also started reviewing the other nominations, Is there any specific date of its return?
