I noticed that when someone replies to a thread created in Discourse forums that answer is marked as an Article with microdata.

@tolkin reported to me that Google is still showing posts as invalid: [Bild] The image requirement is bizarre. It needs to be an image of the item (the post in this case), not an image contained in the post (which usually won’t exist) or from some metadata about the post. Google’s tool should be …
