    Heres a question for boards.ie

    Why when you open open the science category as a topic, isn’t there any categories of actual science, not even a broader topic called science. Nothing, nada, zilch.

    And why when I try to open a new thread to discuss this it keeps saying error.....

    In Topics you can click on the category: Science, Health & Environment. It opens with 30 forums and subforums, and has been articulated into many recognized major science disciplines. There is no generic science forum within our category, such a forum being too vast to be meaningful.

    This may be a technical issue in terms of how you access boards.ie and its topics?

    When attempting to provide additional information regarding our Science, Health & Environment category, I yield to what my colleague godtabh suggested. There is a generic forum for Science: Popular Science.
