And this thread is not about weather.
Personal observations about this should be in the Cafe section.

If a conversation drifts (perfectly normal for the English language), where is the button I click to create a link to continue it over there? Make one and I'll use it.

The moderators can move posts, but only do that in extremis. If another thread were to be created then any comments in this thread could be easily shifted if requested, but it's more of a meandering conversation here at the moment. Upload failures is the topic of this thread, though, and people looking at the thread might well expect the conversation to be principally about that.

I'm not OCD enough to agree with you on that, but still, next time something is drifted, I could just make a cafe post and link to it from here. If I remember.
