One of the main problems I've found when trawling forums looking for answers is that the answer's often buried somewhere far down in the thread. I think Discourse suffers from this same problem and doesn't really do anything to address many of the issues that forums usually have.

Thanks for the kind words! I actually tried yesterday, may have been some bad luck with nobody really seeing the post :/ Would love to hear any other feedback you might have :)

Edit: Please add all those questions! We built the entire site to be the home for them :)
