Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Daidí Nollag? Shouldn't it have been Athar Nollag?
    Daddy Christmas sounds weird somehow.

    Maybe it relates to the word for granddad and age is somehow implied in its use in Daidí na Nollag. I'm sure someone will have a much better explanation/suggestion!

    I reckon it's because Athair is used as a title for priests.

    Well it's actually 'Daidí na Nollag' and it's only weird if you're attempting a direct word-for-word translation from English in Irish, which often doesn't work.
