Does anyone know of a good (and hopefully also free) online forum where someone can ask questions related to the Chicago Manual of Style? Chicago Manual of Style's page has an online question form, but it seems like it's one of those "we'll answer your question if we get to it" type of things. I need to ask questions about things not specifically covered by the Manual where I have some hope of getting a timely response. Any suggestions?

EDIT: A very belated thank you to @renard_roux@beehaw.org, @edickinson@startrek.website, and @eveninghere@beehaw.org; I will definitely take a look at Discord, Evidence Explained, and Stack Exchange.

EDIT EDIT: A bonus gift for @edickinson@startrek.website (and also because I posted this earlier and I think it got lost):

You might try the Evidence Explained forums answered regularly by Elizabeth Shown Mills. She is a specialist in genealogical citation but she is based in Chicago Manual of Style. https://www.evidenceexplained.com/forums/citation-issues

Or you could just take your best stab at a citation and wait for some eagle-eyed all knowing person to correct you ๐Ÿ˜„
