Thanks for your understanding.
In a forum that has been going a long time a lot of topics will have their own threads and if people post all the relevant things in the appropriate thread it makes it easier to find posts on that topic. Think of it like a library where all the books on gardening are in the same bookcase rather than spread everywhere. When new books on gardening come in, it is better to put them in the same bookcase. When totally new things come in a new book case can be started, the same here.
For example we have a thread on ball lightning here
https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/ball-lightning.1716/
So new material on ball lightning can be placed in there.
If you can't find a place to place something we can help. Similarly if you find something in the wrong place we can help, there is a report button under each place, use this and say what the problem is and the mods will get a notification and we can deal with it, and if there is not a place for them then yes you can set one up.
I hope that helps and please continue with the old reports in the relevant places, they are good to see.
Many thanks.
