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.

Do you want to move to the Science area?

Theres a suggestion to move this board to under the Science area and rename it Weather / Meteorology. I thought I'd ask you guys what you think... it might bring more people here or it might change the tenor of the place in a way you dont like. Personally I'm ambivalent.... DeV.

I don't use this forum but Meteorology does sound better than Weather. It would fit better with the science boards than in After Hours.

Aye, tis a grand soft day out, but I can feel a chill in me veins.

Yes, good idea, it might move us away from complaining about lack of sun and so on.

TBH, I really like the way it is at the moment in the AH section with a sort of informal chat about the weather, I wouldn't like to see it get too scientific.

After all the weather is the #1 basic discussion point in Ireland.

Don't really mind as long as informal chats are still ok.

I don't really mind to be honest.

There's benefits to moving to Science but I would be afraid that the board would lose it's informal chatty aspect. Then again encourging some Meteorological postings would be good as well.

I don't know if I like the Science arragement as it stands though, it seems like Engineering, Biology and Physics could be wrapped back up into general science. Putting Weather into a fairly offputting (as it stands) corner of Boards would make me afraid it might waste away.

It's a coin toss. Maybe 52% 48% against.
