    In that poll 62 % of posters live in Ireland, I'd wager the majority of those who dont are Irish people living abroad.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and guesstimate that boards is trending towards the 80:20 rule 80% 20% is my prediction for the poll. Any other guesses?

    You ARE the boss of me though. Thanks for not closing - it's an interesting question to see how many overseas users are not Irish.

    I've been back in Ireland for 18 months, but will be gone again in September.

    Can I vote?

    Well I'm Irish and I have been living in the UK for the past 3.5 years. I think it is safe for me to vote.

    I'm here because there is no comparable site in UK.

    Add options one and two together and ignore option three which is there to give those who cannot follow instructions something to click.

    Currently 5 users are overseas and not Irish. Or 16% of the 31 votes.

    You can click on a user and see their profile including location on the touch site. You are lazy then. Pity.

    Can you? Care to post a screenshot?

    Should I still be seeing your location under your name? Or were you wrong 'to bite' as you put it?

    I see you held off on the face palm this time. Would have been appropriate.

    Click the User > Short form of the profile > Click "full site" and you get the full version of the profile including location.

    So you were wrong again.

    I get the impression that you aren't one for details.
