support forum

Online assistance community

A support forum is an online discussion space where users seek and share help with products, services, or technical problems.

Companies host official support forums; independent communities spring up around shared interests.

Users post questions, others reply with solutions or workarounds.

I found the fix in a support forum after searching for hours.

The format creates searchable archives of common issues and answers.
