The use of the PH forums and how we approach them

The Product Hunt forums have been up and running for about a month, so I think if we use this platform and this particular section daily, we could get a little used to it.

Here are some observations from me, but also your side:

👉 Mine:

• I currently don't know how to insert a post or video into the forum. In the older format (discussion), I was able to insert it via "img src" tag.

• Some comments under forums are not showing up for me (I didn't get notifications for them and dunno why) – I just found them after a few days because I checked them manually.

• I have to say that it's much better with AI replies – the number of bots is at least reduced under my posts.

👉 Your observations:

• You lack the ability to search your discussions by entering keywords via the "Search bar."

• Some claimed that their discussions were not confirmed and they don't know why, because according to them they didn't violate the guidelines.

• Self-promotion and Introduce yourself forums supposedly don't have as much engagement as General.

🤔 Do you have any other observations and suggestions for improvements?
