Is there any chance we could get the forum renamed to living abroad or emigrating or something along those lines. I don't think the current name is very clear. People think "ooh, abroad, this is about holidays abroad" and post up with the aforementioned posts asking about hotels etc.

Anyone else agree? Any suggestions?

Yeah "Living Abroad" is alot clearer and keeping the word Abroad in it people will still associate it with the old name.
