I have posted a few times on HubSpot Community and searched for answers many times. I'm a developer and generally have questions about your CRM API. Every time I've posted a question, where it says "Select Location", I've always put it in "CRM and Sales Hub" as that was the first place that seemed relevant. My understanding of these "Locations" was that they were just different categories in a singular community forum. It was only today that I have come to learn from one of your Support colleagues that HubSpot Community is actually a collection of several different bulletin boards/forums. I think this knowledge will help me tremendously going forward. I took a look at the Community site in a new light to see how I could have missed that. The first thing I see is that multiple non-familiar words are used to refer to primary concepts. 1. Your site uses the words "Discussion", "Location", and "Board" to refer to the same concept. "Discussions" is used in the primary site navigation. "Location" and "Board" are used when creating a post. Before today I would have told you that a "discussion" on HubSpot Community was equivalent to a (single) post + its replies. I've never seen another place that uses "discussion" to mean "board" or "forum" so I find this a very likely potential source of confusion for others. 2. Your site uses the words "converation" and "post" to refer to the same thing. "Conversation" is used on the Community home page (i.e. "Top Community Conversations"), but your site uses "Post" when creating one. Using different words for the same thing is confusing. Also "conversation" isn't used anywhere else for this -- maybe just stick with "post"? Thanks.
