Re: Is there a list of the best help forums for the various 'challenges' we encounter?
I agree with @EdTheHeaterMan , Heating help is the best!!!
Mike Holt electrical is the best I have found for electrical. But they have decided for liability reasons to only allow people licensed in the electrical trade, (Electricians, contractors and engineers) to participate on that forum.
That forum is one that like Heating Help the people that participate are respectful (for the most part) and they don't allow nasty stuff or swearing etc.

Re: Near boiler piping/replacement boiler
If it's not broke don't fix it.
Get quotes on new boilers (you will be shocked). Then start saving. Do an accurate heat loss and get the right size equipment and the right contractor.
Consider an Energy Kinetics boiler.

Why I don’t like fill valves screwed to black pipe.
Re: Near boiler piping/replacement boiler
Three zones with 50'/zone = 150' x ~500 BTU/ft. @ 180° = 75,000 BTU. One inch pipe is fine for that load.
If you really want to do something, pipe it primary-secondary to keep the large boiler happy.
Re: Is there a list of the best help forums for the various 'challenges' we encounter?
I have tried to offer my help on other websites related to the HVAC industry, the oil heat industry, and the boiler industry. I have found then difficult to navigate to the proper place to do what is best for the persons asking for help. The people at HeatingHelp.com got it right. Easy to follow a topic and easy to post photos to make that "worth a thousand word" statement and follow the others that have also offered to help. I have also noticed that others like Jamie Hall, Bob (hot_rod) Rohr and others on some of the other sites. They just don't click with me. This is the easiest to communicate with others here.
As far as other trades, like Electrical, Plumbing. Building, Construction, and automotive to name a few, You will not find what @DanHolohan has built here and what his daughter and others have continued to offer for our trade. This is unmatched and will probably never be duplicated anywhere else. kudos to Team Holohan
