North open 1S and opponent overcall 2H. In North-South method, 2N means some kind of support so South pass instead.

I'm going to guess it is non-forcing.

why? just bid 3nt, the default bid if you can't read your cards nor the auction.

I am very confused. Can you please post the exact auction you're asking about?

If the auction is 1S (2H) p (p); 4D then that is very strongly invitational to 4S or 5D, but not forcing. (Remember North did not open GF and South could have zero points).

The OP is intended as constructive, but is does not force a reply.

When OP reopens with a hand diagram and auction, it is standard BBF practice to treat it as invitational.

Pulling 3NT to 4m is forcing. If you don't want to play at least 4M or 5m, leave it in 3NT. (I'm assuming that is what the first question is asking.)

Non-forcing for me. I am happy to show I am 2-suited and probably a 6-5, 5-6, or 6-6. However, I might have bid 4♠ or pass rather than 4♦.
