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.

    It's not available in Ireland yet although their street cars have been seen all around cities like Dublin,Galway etc... taking the photographs so it should be fairly soon.

    Street View available in a pretty wide area in and around Belfast at the moment but that's it. If you zoom out far enough so that the whole island is visible, you'll see the little man at the top of the zoom control turn orange. If you click on him and drag him onto the map the areas that have Street View enables will turn a bluey/purple.

    Google Maps has wire frame 3-D buildings in Dublin, and Google Earth now has 3-D buildings rendered with images that look like they originated from the Streetview photography.

    But for God's sake don't go dragging him down the wrong streets.
