Clarify Ren'Py Questions and Announcements is the Help Section
I've noticed there are many times where people (usually newbies) will post questions asking for help on many different boards. There's nothing in the title or description of "Questions and Announcements" to indicate this is the board where you ask for help. The red "Forum rules" banner pops up, but a little extra bit of clarity could help direct people to the right place.

If I had a question ... I would go to the board titled Questions ... don't know about other people.

Discuss how to use the Ren'Py engine to create visual novels and story-based games. New releases are announced in this section.
'How do I do this' usually makes sense to ask where it says 'how to use this'
I'm not sure what else could be used.

Re: Clarify Ren'Py Questions and Announcements is the Help Section
I wasn’t confused as a newbie where I should post questions about Ren’Py. The Ren’Py Questions thread. I’d also note that there is more than one place to ask questions. If I had a question about writing, I’d ask in the writing thread. If I had a question about art, I’d ask in the Art thread. IfnInhad a general creator question, I’d ask in the Creator thread.
All of this seems pretty clear if you spend a bit of time reading the boards before you post...which is always a great of idea, since your question may already have been answered.

Re: Clarify Ren'Py Questions and Announcements is the Help Section
I guess I somehow interpreted "discussing this" to be different from "ask questions about this." My bad.
