Title: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 26, 2007, 01:32:51 PM
Ok, this is where I'll post all updates regarding the site and forum.

First, I now have a working contact form on the site! You can now send me your contributions using that form if you wish. But there is still a tiny little issue that I have to see if Matt can work out for me regarding the maximum size of files.

Also, I have decided to sign up for the Google AdSense program. What this will do is put a line of Google chosen ads at the top of each page of the site, jsut as on TWC Classics.

Ok Kyle, I got your email...what do I do with it? I assume I copy everything, paste it into a new file, and call it contact.php? And then upload that to the server?
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 26, 2007, 02:55:40 PM
Ok, the contact form on the site has been modified so that the maximum upload size is now 50mb. You should be able to send pretty much anyhting uisng the form.

Just added a large number of videos to the site, including several clips of Wilma and Rita coverage from Michelle, which can be found in the OCM's section of the video page, several Xl v1 LF videos from Gil which can be found in the LF Videos section of the video page, a few OCM clips from Gil which can be found in the OCM's section of the video page, and several IS local forecast clips from Mike which can be found in the LF videos section of the video page. All new content is marked with a  small graphic that says "New!".

I'm working on it! Sheesh!  ;D

Actually, I don't want to add everything at one time. I want to space it out a little so that there's always something new. Make sense?

I heard a wonderful saying today: If Ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?

So true, IMO. Felipe is a nasty, ignorant, troll. Remember TWC classics in Spring 2006? It was mayhem.

I notice he has made comments to a couple of my videos on YouTube (only I didn't know it was him). After reading a thread on TWCClassics about him, I now know to avoid him.

I missed the Spring of 2006 with TWCClassics; something tells me I should be glad I did.

Just another thing to watch out for...

Yeah, I mean, anyone could do it. It doesn't take the knowledge of a hacker to find a way back in. A simple change of your IP address is really all it takes.

Oddly enough, for me, when I unplug my router, my IP address stays the same. It also stayed the same when I got a new router (wireless).

I mean, you have to reset it. at least thats what my Linksys does. My Netgear however does not. it always stays the same.

No, it just releases your current IP and gives you a new one.

As said above, on certain routers.

Dynamic IP is what your ISP gives you (unless you use a business or equivilent pakages, which gives youstatic IP)

About the DHCP and IP stuff.. I run 14 servers out of my house, but my IP changes all the time, I run a service called DynDNS which updates the URL's of my webaddress's to point to my IP address, its a client that runs on the server's desktops that updates the information every 5 minutes..

If I mess around with the vlink attribute thats in the <body> tag it changes every link on the entire page. I only want to change the links in the horizontal nav bar at the top of the page, and in the one at the bootom of the page.

Gary, I don't have much experience with Dreamweaver, but I'm looking through the HTML code, and it seems very sloppy. I'm rewriting it as we speak, and I'll see if I can fix that issue. :D

Oh I have no doubt that its very sloppy. I did most of it by hand, and my inexperience usually leads me to just throw things on the page without regards to organization or anything else.

Alright, I need opinions again. What do you guys think-should we go with Billy's design for the site (as shown in his last post), stay with what we currently have, or go with something else. If anyone has any design ideas I'd love to hear/see them!

Check the top link bar... the About Us link should be ".html" not ".htm". My bad...

Edit: And I can re-design the rest of the pages, too, if you wish...

Edit again: Also, check the "music", "miscellaneous", and "forum" on the main part of the page.

Yep. I was actually just about to post them...

Revised index: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/index.html

Videos: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/videos.html
STARs: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/stars.html
IntelliStar: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/is.html
XL: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/xl.html
4000: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/4000.html
Junior: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/jr.html
OCMs: http://billy.mozfaq.org/temp/Gary/ocms.html

On the video pages for the STARs, I rearranged all the videos in chronological order, and I made it so all the videos were in the same format (date, location, description, contributor)

I also made a new indicator for new videos, which should stand out better.

Ok, since Billy's working on the pages,I have a task for someone else to assist me wwith, if anyone here can. If you go to my contact page, you'll notice its nothing but a plain form. I was wondering, is there a way to embed it within a page, so that it looks like any other page on the site? Or can I at least put the banner at the top?

I would appreciate any help anyone can offer!  8)

I checked and there does appear to be such a setting. Gil, check it out for yourself.

Hmm, it still doesn't work for me, in either IE or Firefox.  Gary, I think you were referring to the Quick Reply option, instead of the Quick Edit option.  :unsure:

Just wanted to let you all know that I'll be posting some new stuff on the site today. I've decided that the best way to about updating the site would be to do it on a weekly basis, so as to insure that there is always fresh content (not only do people not like a stale site, search engines don't care for them either). So, I last updated the site last Monday, which would make today the next update day. Of course, I may alter the update schedule depending on the amount (or lack thereof) of contributions I've received.

Thnaks for reminding me about tonights updates Stephen!

I updated thesite this evening. Here's what was inlcuded in the update (there's so much I don't feel like typing it all out so I'm quoting from the site!):

Check out our new Flavor Guide! The guide has information on all of the local forecast flavors of all of the STARs since 2000. Note: The Intellistar flavor page is tentative. We still need to add some information to it. Also added today is a new page for WeatherSTAR 3000 videos. The WeatherSTAR 3000 was in use until 2004, so hopefully someone out there has some video of it! Also added today are a handful of new videos in the XL and IS sections of the video page. Also, new videos an be found in several new sections, Satellite Lf's, and WeatherScan.Thanks to TechGuy and Stephen (SSS) for their contributions!

Yep. To start with I wasn't going to put it on this one because it didn't look like we were going to have anything to put in it (recall that it remained empty on the IPB board). But once I started seeing threads that looked like they should be in there, I decided that returning it would probably be a good idea.

Ok, the update is complete! Here is an explanation of what was added today:

Added a number of new videos. Added several new show openers in the Segment Openers section of the video page. Added some footage of some recent LF outages with Trammell Satarks music in a new subsection of the video page called Special videos. This section will include all such LF outages as well as any other video that can't be categorized elsewhere. Thanks to Stephen (SSS)for his opener contributions, and to Billy (beanboy89) for his local forecast videos.

Also began adding videos that were formerly housed at TWC Classics. These can be found in every local forecast video section, including 4000 and Jr. All content from TWC Classics will be marked courtesy of both TWC Classics and the original contributor (when that information is known).

I have added Trammell Starks' music to the music page. I've done this because since its played on WeatherScan and occasionally on TWC, its still pertinent to the topic of this site. I also did it because I received an e-mail from a site visitor this evening asking about the WXScan music, so its important that people can at least sample the Trammell songs. So far I've only got the clips of his that are heard on WXScan, but I will add the rest shortly.  8)

Great news! Last night at approximately 12:00 am a person who registered here as mrcoleman contacted me via e-mail, inquiring about a song he'd heard on WeatherScan. As a result, I went ahead and put up my Trammell clips, and suggested that he sample the clips to see if he could find the song. Lo and behold, he found the song he was looking for! It was We All Fall Down by Trammell Starks!

Just thought I'd pass along this little success story!  8)

Also, several new XL videos were added, several new 4000 videos were added, several new IS videos were added, several new WeatherScan videos were added, and several new OCM videos were added. Also, I have added song ID's to many of the LF videos throughout the LF pages. Any videos that do not have song ID's are in need of them. If you can identify any of the songs, please do!

But then it just seems like a complete copy of the other one. Why would you want 2 exact same forums?
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 20, 2007, 06:56:49 PM
Yeah I don't want to copy somebody else's forum. The only reason I put the two new forums on is because there seemed to be a need for both. And that will be the case for any other forums I put up in the future. I also don't want to copy TWCC because it has forums that have nothing to do with the topic of this site. For example, all of the classic TWC boards would not be suitable for this forum. If, however, there seems to be enough demand for a place to talk about classic TWC, then I may insert ONE and only ONE board for such discussion.

Ok, this weeks site update is complete! Most of the new stuff this week is in the opener's page of the video section. A number of intros used from 98-01 and 01-03 were added. Also, a video was added to the special videos page, and several were added to the OCM's page.

As always, I'm looking for any contributions anyone might have! If you have anything TWC 2000-present, please consider contributing it to TWC Today! My goal is to make TWC Today the most comprehensive source for everything TWC since 2000!

Another update to announce. I've just added all of the 2006 playlists to the playlists page. Don't forget, the playlist page can now be found in the music section of the site. Tomorrow I will be going through all the other playlists and filling in any that are currently missing. Also, yes I do realize that the header and footer are not in the new playlists yet. I will get that done tomorrow.

The 2006 October-December playlist is actually only the October playlist. I've attached the December 2006 playlist, which I found from TWCC. The November playlist, however, remains a mystery.

Since I know someone will ask sooner or later, I want to let you all know up front what's going on with Gil. He is currently banned from posting on this forum. He may still view everything, but he may not post. The way I see it, that's more of a punishment than outright banning him. You know what they say, out of sight out of mind. So if the forum isn't out of his sight, it'll very much be on his mind. As far as why this has happened, let's just say that he did several things that are very big no-no's.
Title: Re: Site News

This week's update is complete! Two new pages were added to the site this week-Fonts, and Contact an Artist. On the fonts page are the fonts used on the various LF systems. In instances where those fonts are copyrighted, I have instead put up similar fonts. On the Contact an Artist page, you will find websites and e-mail addresses for various TWC artists. More will be added over time. If you have anything that can be added top either of these pages, please consider contributing! Also added today were several videos in the OCM's, Segment Openers, and IS pages.

On a different note regarding contributions, I am now running dangerously low on new content. If you have anything-anything at all-that you could contribute to the site, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider doing so. For your convienence, there are several options for sending contributions-you may email them to me directly (contact me for address), if your contribs are on tape or DVD you may send them to me through the mail (again, contact me please), you may use the contact page on the site, or you may post them on the TWC Today forum. Again, if you have anything at all-videos, music clips, or anything else-PLEASE consider contributing. Your contributions would be very much appreciated, and all contributions will be given proper credit.

Rippingtons-Bingo Lingo, Lay it Down, Moonlight, Paradise, Spanish Girl
Steve Glotzer-3 Blue, The Badger, Las Latinas, Memory Of One, Quien Sabe, Too Soon To Tell
Steve Oliver-Feeling Good

Also added all of the 2007 playlists that we have so far. These can be found in the 2007 section of the playlists page. In addition, several videos were added to the IS videos page in the videos section of the site. Thanks to all who contributed!

And, as I always do, I'd like to take a moment to once again ask those who have footage, audio, etc. to please consider contributing! any contributions would be very much appreciative! and as I announced earlier this week, contributing is now a snap.

Well it doesn't look good for the emulator at the moment. Both Bill and Chazz (the two most important people to the project) seldom ever come on anymore. On the other hand, the project has appeared doomed before only to pull through, so maybe that'll happen again.

Just so you all know (because you'll all notice eventually), several things have taken place, and here is what they are: first, the big update will not be happening. Gil had promised that it would be a part of this site, but then late last night after I went to bed he and Kyle got in cahoots behind my back and posted a link to his new site. Which leads me to the other things that you'll notice. Gil has been banned indefinitely, and Kyle has lost his administrative rights, both as a result of last nights shanigans. Both have also lost my friendship and patronage to their respective websites. Kyle is still a member here, though I am strongly considering removing him as well. With him, it goes beyond simply foul play. He's violated the trust I instilled in him when I chose him to be a co-admin. All the one word posts and cussing in the world doesn't bother me as much as something like this. Kyle, I thought you were an intelligent person. Evidently Gil is smarter because he was able to manipulate someone twice his age into helping him.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 14, 2007, 10:40:46 AM
Upon further investigation, I have reinstated Gil. It is my understanding that Gil did not authorize Kyle to advertise his site. Nor did Kyle have authorization from me to advertise an outside site. IOW, Kyle is in deep cow manure when I see him. The revocation of his administrative powers stands.
Title: Re: Site News

What did they exactly do?
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 14, 2007, 10:57:54 AM
Well let's just say that when I came on this morning I found a thread posted by Kyle which was an advertisement of Gil's site. First of all, its not supposed to be an independent site of Gils. Its supposed to be part of this site, only its run off his server and not mine. Second, I did not authorize anyone to start a thread advertising their site. I originally banned Gil thinking that he must've been behind it somehow. But I then learned that Gil did not give Kyle permission to advertise his (err, our) new addition to the site. So obviously I had to let Gil back in.

I was going to (and may still) add a STAR database page to the site. The database is based on all the known STAR's out there. You can search a location and find out what STAR is there. I really do hope we can still do this update.

Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 14, 2007, 03:16:31 PM
Gil went to the library and got a book on the area he's having trouble with, so hopefully we won't need Kyle's help. But I want this project to get finished one way or the other, and if it means having Kyle's help, then so be it.

But rest assured, we won't be saying nasty things about anyone, or anything else that shouldn't be said. We're not "hiding" or anything.

Aah. That makes sense. I am an admin of one forum site and only admins and moderators can view. I can post the link to the site if you want but not in this thread. (The site is not TWc related anyway. But we are in need of members and you can talk about TWC if you want. It's a general chat forum)

Though I am somewhat unsure about the possible effects, I have decided to make it so that guests cannot view the forum unless they register. This is being done on a trial basis right now. Depending on what happens, it may become permanent, or I may decide to allow guests to once again view the boards. I'm not too crazy about this measure, but it seems that TWC Classics is doing just fine with such a measure in place. That's why its only being done on a trial basis at this time.

As always your questions and comments are welcome.

To be honest, I really don't like the idea of not allowing guests viewing the forum (or any forum for that matter). I know it helps prevent spammers from entering and makes the forum more secure, but I'm sure many people like to see how the forum is arranged, and how the behavior is like there before registering. Otherwise if guests were to register and then look at the forums and don't like it for whatever reason, they'd just "leave," and it would just be a waste of time signing up.

Just my two cents.

Alright folks, much of the site has been restored to its former state. However, on the video pages there are still many missing videos. The 3000/Jr page is gone entirely, so I'll have to remake that entirely. Also, the rest of the video pages are also missing extensive amounts of content. Most of what's missing appears to have come from TWC Classics, but many videos did not, like those form Mike, TechGuy, etc. If anyone can snag any of the videos that that are missing I would be extremely grateful. Matt, I originally got many of these videos from you. You don't happen to still have any of the stuff that you gave me laying around on your server or elsewhere, do you? Not only have I lost the 3000 videos, but indeed most of what isn't present seems to be the stuff that I got from you.

Additionally, many of the playlists are missing, all the flavor pages are missing, the screenshots are missing, the font packages are missing, the unknown songs are missing, the contact form is missing, the upload form is missing, and the STAR Database is gone.

If anyone can help with the recovery of any of this stuff, I would be extremely grateful.  :sunglasses:

They only helped me recover the pages, not the downloadable content within them. That stuff was stored on the server.

Look, I don't have time to deflect more dumb (for lack of a better word) questions. either you can help or you can't. Please don't question me when I'm reaching out for help. I wouldn't be doing that if I didn't have to.

On a different note, as you all may or may not have noticed, the site is currently using the original nav buttons. Thanks to Billy, I believe I've located the person who made the second set of buttons and have contacted them, Hopefully, if it was this person I'll have the correct buttons up soon.

Looks like all you did was delete or move it. You need to remove (at least) the image tag for the SMF logo. Doesn't SMF have some kind of logo replacement feature where you don't have to mess with the template?

It has a feature where I can tell it what logo to use, but as you seen yesterday it just puts it up along side the SMF logo, instead of removing it.

Just to let you all know, the contact form is up and working again. I have tested it using files as large as 9MB and had no problem sending and receiving them, so I don't expect anyone else to run into any trouble, as was the case before. I think this time around I'm going to forgo the use of the seperate upload form. You can just e-mail me your files using the contact form.

Also, I'm going to begin implementing the winning design. Design A has pulled out ahead of the rest, and given the sparse number of votes we get in polls around here, i don't expect that to change.

Yes, this includes OCM's that have been employed at TWC since before 2000, but since they still appear on TWC, or work at TWC in some way, they are included. Here is a link. As always let me know what you think! The page is not complete yet, but it will be shortly.

I will be doing some housecleaning throughout the site. Any dead links will be removed. I've asked far more than enough for people to kindly redonate any content that they donated before the big site crash. Few people actually did that, so as a result many dead links remain. I'm tired of that now, so they will now be removed, permanently, unless I am able to reobtain the content at some point.

Before you send me any videos, check to make sure they aren't on the site. Note that I didn't say that every video was coming down.

As for saving...it was an unexpected (very unexpected) catastrophe, so I had no time to save-nor any advanced warning that I needed to.

I've just gone through all the video pages, and there were actually fewer dead links than I thought. I was even able to fix some (somehow I managed to find some of the missing video clips). The remaining broken clips appear to be from the huge batch I got from Matt. With any luck, perhaps he still has a few of those lying around somewhere, or knows who contributed them and can guide me in the right direction.

What happened is, I cleaned the home page up the other day, and it seems that I removed the link to those videos without putting it somewhere else. It can now be found on the Videos page. However, it is indeed true that the videos for that page are missing, so if you can find any of them, I would appreciate it.  :sunglasses:

Added a clip of Glen McNulty's 16th and Mission to the music clips page. Thanks to tpirfan for the clip!  :sunglasses:

Also, I've replaced a number of video clips on the IS, XL, 4000, 3000/Jr., Satellite, and WxScan pages. Nearly all the videos on those pages have been replaced. I am in need of segment openers (the bulk of which originally came from Stephen, mattk, and TWCC). Very few of those are up. I also need videos from both LOT48's editions, videos from the TWC HD page, and videos from the 24 hour Trammel outage in September. If anyone could help with any of this, it would be much appreciated. Whatever can't be replaced will be removed, and I hope to remove as little as possible.

As promised, I have cleared out all broken video links throughout the site. There wasn't all that many, so for the most part no single video page will look much different. If I should find any of the removed videos at any time I will put them back up. until then, the broken links need to go. Search engines (not to mention people) don't think too highly of those. :no:

Yeah, its a real drag that they still play music, isn't it? I realize your not a fan anymore though, so perhaps you weren't aware that they continued to play music after 1999.  :rolleyes:

BTW, if you continue to start trouble here you'll find yourself out. You may have special privelege at your forum, Bill's forum, and elsewhere, but it doesn't work like that here. I don't allow anyone else to bring trouble and animosity here, so obviously it wouldn't be very fair to allow it from you, no matter your status in the TWC fan community. There is no such thing as status here. Everybody's equal.

There is no such thing as status here. Everybody's equal.
- I never said music wasn't played after 1999.
- I never said you could only post things I was a fan of.
- I never said having a store was a bad idea.
- I never said I was "above" anyone else.
- I've never claimed to have a "status."

...so stop putting words in my mouth.

You want to have a store for music, that's cool. It's your site. I just found it funny that your store is setup EXACTLY the same as mine. IOW, you start with the artists and each artist has a page of albums, which have links to Amazon using the preview boxes...exactly like me. I think it's hilarious (and a huge compliment) that someone who was so passionate about wanting to have a completely unique site keeps copying my ideas. :happy:
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 14, 2008, 03:43:20 PM
A person with passion also does things the way he believes is the best. In this case, your way was the best. At least in my opinion. Its well organized, and easy to navigate. So, yes, you may take it as a compliment, because in essence that's what it is. I'm interested, though, in how using what really is the only way to make a store can be copying. Can you come up with a better solution? I am also quite intrigued at the fact that your attempting to use now the same argument that I used against you at Bill's forum-that being that you put words in my mouth.  :whistling:

BTW, my comment earlier was sarcastic, as yours was. Since you did not elaborate any, all I had to go on was what you said. So I used sarcasm to make that point, which you obviously didn't catch.  :whistling:

BTW BTW, I've been an Amazon.com affiliate since 1999, so in technicality I've had access to their services for a very long time. But being web illiterate as you clearly know I am, though, I didn't know how to go about actually making a music store until I saw yours. Thus I had kind of a DUH moment, realizing that it was not difficult at all.  :whistling:

BTW BTW BTW, I e-mailed you earlier about some issues. Did you get my message?  :whistling:
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 14, 2008, 04:09:38 PM
Mike, I remain steadfast about the fact that I didn't copy Matt. He doesn't own the rights to that design. And unfortunately, there's no better one. I refuse to allow my site to suffer because I have to use inferior designs because of the childishness of another. Of course, Mike, you know I have always urged you to leave if you don't like it here. But while we're at it, doyou have any better ideas for the store?
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: twcclassics on January 14, 2008, 04:58:38 PM
Of course I knew you were being sarcastic, Gary. :P I was just attempting to clarify your assumptions. There are plenty of other ways to create a store. One example...you could've separated the artists by letter, then each page could've had links to albums, then a page w/an album cover (not the small amazon ones) and some text about the album (maybe a review). But if you want to have it setup like me, that's cool. I'll take it as a compliment and leave it at that. :)

I haven't read your reply on Bill's board, but my point there was (intentional or not) that your comment about that guy's website was rather rude.

BTW, when I pointed out the similarities between my store and his, I wasn't saying that he intentionally stole my idea. I was just saying that they were awfully similar.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 14, 2008, 05:04:12 PM
That method seems A LOT more complicated, especially if only for the sake of making our stores different looking.  :unsure:

How long ago is awhile? If it was before, say, December, your going to have to contribute them again because they got deleted from Matt's server. Haven't you been here since the site came back up?

3) I think I only have one or two from the second one (I'll have to look through my collection)

I'm downloading the file now. Give it ten minutes, and then you can remove it.

I'll take anything you have from the second one, as you probably have more than I do-I have none.  :P

Thanks!  :sunglasses:

Yes, and each one takes about 30 minutes. Meaning that in a day's time I can get about a year's worth of playlists done.

I will add them ASAP. I have quite a list of things to get done, and each new thing gets added to the bottom of the list, not the top. I still have 6 more years of playlists to restore, information to add to the OCM bios, videos to put up from the TWC meltdown, and a whole bunch of other videos to put up. So your openers will go up, just not until I get to them. I hope you understand, and aren't upset.  :sunglasses:

not at all, just curious...I'll def. start working on the remaining ones I have.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on January 24, 2008, 08:48:01 PM
alright, these playlists aren't going to get done this way. Having to manually enter everything is simply too much work. If anyone has any ideas for making this easier, please speak up.  I've asked several times for help with the playlists, but since thats obviously not forthcoming maybe someone knows an easier way than manually writing them all.

Yes, I can read. I was wondering why it didn't work. Gary, you need to copy and paste the HTML, not the text. Look in the source for the comment that says "content goes here" and copy the HTML for table below it. You'll have to edit the cell widths and format the text (if you wish), but other than that the work is done for you.

The only thing I know about the November playlist is that it was apparently "lost" by TWC. I haven't the slightest idea if there's any truth to that though. I think I'll actually PM him, as that would likely get his attention faster (after all, there's alot of posting going on which might delay his arrival at this thread).  :sunglasses:

I didn't forget about you. You guys (including you) are starting threads, posting in a wide variety of already existing threads, and just doing what forum members should do. compared to what you all do over there, what you do here is disappointing, to say the least.

And that's really the whole thing in a nutshell. It just disappoints me very much to see you all putting forth so much over there, and hardly nothing here. I can probably go over there and find dozens of threads that you guys have started that aren't started here.
The only recent thread I started over there was a note to the STAR team. Other than that, I don't post there as much as I used to.

Just wanted to bring a new homepage feature to everyone's attention. The TWC Today homepage now features a YouTube player, which is supposed to play videos catered to the content of the site. IOW, it will (hopefully) provide us with additonal content that we wouldn't otherwise have!  :sunglasses:

Is it Lightning? That figures. well whether he realizes it or not, he's the douchebag. He needs to get over it and move on with his (obviously very dull) life. 
Well at least you're taking it in a mature way. :whistling: I'm sure he doesn't "hate" you. He just doesn't want you to be a member again b/c of the trouble you caused way back when. Which is understandable.

Not sure if this helps any, but I viewed the source of that page and this is the tag that is inserted for "TWC." Maybe try removing those tags and see if that solves the issue.

It has nothing to do with the language itself. I know HTML like the back of my hand. I just do a much better job when I use a web editor because I can see the product of what I'm programming on the very same screen, which makes it a whole lot easier to produce a quality product.

By the way, I'm going to be posting these videos in flash format. That means you'll need a player that can play flash videos. Matt did this with his clips, and the more I think about it, the ore it seems like a good idea. FLV Player is what I use, and it is great. Download it here:

It's much easier for me this way.

This is why I just about got out of this. I work hard on this site, and no one shows an ounce of appreciation. If this was TWCC, you guys would be so happy over an update of this magnitude that you'd be kissing his ass without even being asked. I can't even get you all excited with a bit of a push.

You may have a point, but still, it's always good to see at least some feedback so your members know how they think about the updates and everything, you know? Otherwise you'd never know whether they actually saw the new content or not.

First of all, just about any time you guys do an update your members practically slobber all over themselves. 

Second, I agree with Mike. It was (what I thought) was a fantastic update, and getting no reaction at all hurt more than anyhting. Especially because I distinctly remmber everybody mentioning many times over that they'd like to see more clips of past hurricane coverage, especially Isabel.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: beanboy89 on June 23, 2008, 12:12:36 PM
What I think the problem was is that most users here have already seen all this hurricane footage on DJ's YouTube account, so they weren't too enthusiastic about seeing it again. If it had been fresh footage, then I think the reaction would've been much greater.

Still, I know you put a lot of time into this update, Gary, and I'm sure everyone here appreciates that.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on June 23, 2008, 12:42:15 PM
I figured that might have something to do with it, but then again none of DJ''s clips have any comments or ratings. I figured if people saw them there would at least be some of each. Further, he's only had them up for about a month.

I still have more I'd like to post, but I'm not sure I will.  :(
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: Mike M on June 23, 2008, 12:59:22 PM
Come on, guys. Gary put a lot of time to try to make this site a great one, and you guys are giving him a hard time. Would you rather have him close this site?

It may be on YouTube, but at least it's on the site too so you'd have an easier way of saving it (in case it gets deleted on YT).
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2008, 01:20:00 PM
I've gone ahead and hidden the emulator project boards again. It doesn't seem like much is getting done with it right now, and Kyle has made very few appearances lately, so it doesn't make much sense to leave them there to take up space. They've only been hidden though. The content is still there. And they will be restored when things move forward.

Also, I have some ideas for new things to add to the forum, so stay tuned!  :sunglasses: :twothumbs:

Bottom line is this Mike: First, I don't know much about what went on, so the likelihood that I'm going to duplicate something is not good. second, this is my forum and I'll run it as I see fit. I'm sure Matt and Tyler feel the same way about theirs. I think they would agree that you don't have to like anything we do, but if you want to visit our sites your going to have to live with it.

I've implemented the first of the changes. I've added an introduction board. I think such a board is a fine way for new members to introduce themselves and become acquainted with everyone.

Yikes. That was the first new forum we created that went based on it's popularity (or un-popularity, if you will). :o

How were you able to gauge its popularity so quickly? You gauge the popularity of an intro board by seeing whether your newbies post in it. It takes longer than a few hours to determine that. I too will remove it if it turns out to be unpopular, but that will only be the case (for me) if newcomer's aren't using it, not if current members are complaining about it.

I like the new PM warning feature. I've had the other feature where a pop-up window appears asking if I want to open my message in a separate window. This new feature is much better.

Why is there a whole bunch of words on the post reply pages though?
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: wxmancanada on July 17, 2008, 09:42:15 PM
Mike, those words are dead images with their default "ALT" text showing. They're supposto be emoticons. :/

I've gone ahead and hidden the emulator project boards again. It doesn't seem like much is getting done with it right now, and Kyle has made very few appearances lately, so it doesn't make much sense to leave them there to take up space. They've only been hidden though. The content is still there. And they will be restored when things move forward.

Also, I have some ideas for new things to add to the forum, so stay tuned!  :sunglasses: :twothumbs:
Yeah - just to add to that I do still have the emulator project and do plan to continue it. It just so happens that there have been a few large family issues that have required attention and such. As well KSMI has been consuming the other half of my time. However, I do plan to continue the project, things just need to get back in order on my end.

As Kyle said, its because the emoticons are broken at the moemnt. They'll be back soon though, I'm sure.

Got some good news guys...as you all probably know, I've recently moved, and during that move I switched from Verizon DSL to Comcast Hi-Speed Internet. This means that I have far more speed to work with now, and updates should be much more timely. I expect to have the latest edition of the LAT48's up momentarily. No longer is video size an issue, at least in terms of taking time to upload it to the server and such.  :biggrin:

As you all have probably noticed by now, we had extreme problems with the upgrade we tried to perform last night. The forum is back up for now (I think..it would appear that way, as I see that texasstooge is on right now), but a quick look around should reveal that things are not right.

Yes. I haven't decided when yet, but it'll be pretty soon. In retrospect, we should have done it over this past weekend. With so much varied weather across the country, it would have truly been a very interesting edition of LAT48's.

Due to some unwise decision making at TWCC (not to mention downright storytelling) TWC Today will now be permitting classic TWC discussions. We are also going to begin hosting classic TWC content on the site. So feel free to start discussions here on any topic you wish. You may also contribute anything classic TWC you have. You can use all the same methods you've always used for current TWC stuff.

TWCT hopes this expansion will allow us to better serve the needs of our ever growing membership.

Ah, I see. I was originally thinking about merging his emulator forum with my Weatherscan forum awhile back, but this idea would work out well too, since this forum is more active. I wasn't sure if Brian would find that a good idea or not so I never asked.

In related news, I've now made a board for posting emulator videos, since this is a) something I've always wanted to do, b)something that's been requested pretty frequently, and c) something I CAN do now that I no longer have to worry about upsetting Lord Matthew. You may post videos from any emulator, including the 4000.

I've come up with a new idea for the site. I was thinking of making a page paying tribute to deceased TWC staffers and artists. The page would be split into two sections, one for TWC staffers the other for artists, and each section would list the names of each person who has died, their date of death, reason for death (if known), and what they were known for. For example, an entry in the artists section might look something like this (and by the way, the example is 100% factual):

Quote
George Howard             March 20, 1998 (Lymphoma)       

Composed many songs for TWC between late 80's and early 90's, including When Summer Comes, Broad Street, Out In The Cold, Philly Talk, and Dancing In The Sun.

And of course anytime another person dies (of course we hope they don't!) we can add their information to the page. So what do you guys think? Good idea? Bad idea?

If even so much as a single PM ends up in his inbox against his wishes I'll ban the sender. Sorry to have to be so strict but as always there are a few folks who don't understand nice, so I have to be stricter than I'd like in order to get the message across to those people.

Most things should be discussed on the forum anyway. There's very little you should have to discuss with him via PM.

I've added a mod to the forum that automatically embeds videos and audio clips into posts. All you have to do is copy the URL of the video or audio clip (just copy it straight from your URL bar of your browser) and paste it into your post. The mod does the rest!

I figure this will ease the process of posting videos and audio, since alot of what we talk about and do here is focused on audio and video.

If you have questions, feel free to ask.

No, the member number is completely different. The member number is the user account number, based on how many members there are. I.E., you're member number 1 (because you created the board), I'm member number 2 (I was the first member to sign up), and it goes up from there.

Its the same in that its an indicator of when you registered.  ;)

I like the feature, but it looks cluttered.
Yeah, I agree. How about shortening "date registered" to "joined" and remove the time (just have the date)? That may make it less cluttered.

That's alright, it looks good enough to me.  B)

I've just added a mod that adds the board guidelines to the menu bar at the top of the screen, much like on IPB forums. The rules of the forum are to be found there from now on. The rules thread will remain, but it will no longer remain stickied.  :biggrin:

That's because AFAIK that info is only used at TWCC for the purposes of the STAR tea. I have no STAR team here, so I don't see the need for the ID number.

Do you guys think I should add in the ID number field?

On a seperate note, I've tidied up the date registered field a bit. It looks a little less cluttered now.  B)

On a seperate note, I've added a mod that allows you to ignore boards, if you wish not to see them. Right now only the boards in the general discussion, weather, and WxStar Jr. sections are ignorable. I will add others if I get requests to do so.
How about the Weatherscan Emulator subforums? Activity seems to have been relatively slow over the past month or so.

I have decided to once again hide some boards from guests. The boards being hidden are all in the Weather Channel 2000-Present section of the forum. I'm taking this action because recently a TWCC member has been viewing our board as a guest (and in turn bragging about it on TWCC-smart move!) and then going back to TWCC and posting news topics found here. After the events of several months ago this is something I will NOT tolerate. I feel no obligation to TWCC, and I will not be their personal news source. If this issue continues, said member will be not only banned, but blocked entirely from our site. As will any other member that attempts this.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: lfmusiclover on February 17, 2009, 08:04:44 AM
I've made a couple of small changes to the forum, having to do with a couple of boards that weren't terribly popular. I have not deleted anything though. I've made the TWC Artist Chat board a subforum of the Local Forecast board, instead of having it as its own board. I've also taken the Severe Weather and Other Weather Discussion boards and combined them into one general weather chat board. The Local obs board remains unchanged.

I have had to expand this, due to the fact that plagairism by TWCC members is continuing. At this point, ALL boards in the 2000-Today section of the forum are no longer viewable by guests.

I am also going to look into finding a way to make it so that TWCC members cannot register under a different username than their TWCC one and go undetected.

Just want to let everyone know that I will be going through and deleting all old pages of the site from the server today. All of the pages have been redone, so it doesn't make sense to me to continue to leave all of the old stuff on the server. I suspect that no one is using the old pages for anything, but if you are, let me know.

Added a couple of mods to the forum. First, there is now a field in your profile for your GTalk address, for those who use it (by request of number1twcfan). I also installed a mod that shows your member # in the profile to the left of each post. It's just like the member # field on an IPB forum.  B)

The YouTube mod is still here. But it got screwed up when I updated to the latest version of the forum software, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to unscrew it.

As for the join date mod, I'll have to look into that. Not sure what's up with it.  :thinking:

I noticed that the long "date registered" profile field is back on the mini-profiles next to our posts. Anyway this can be fixed? I know before it disappeared after the board upgrade, it just had the month and year (i.e. Joined: Jun 2007).

Well, if I can find a recent enough backup I am. The most recent one I have is from September. That won't do. If Stephen has something more recent (or Kyle), like say from the last couple months, then yes I do plan to restore the database. I realize we'll lose some posts (and believe me, even the thought makes me unhappy), but so much is messed up that it really is the best option right now.

The mod has already been chmodded. That should not be the problem. But if Stephen thinks it is, I'll gladly chmod it again.

I'm not just restoring the database because we can't change a little modification. That would be rather dumb. The main reasons I'm doing it are that half the administration area is inaccessible since the update, and because I can't for the life of me get the Aeva (Youtube imbedding) mod to work. The errors are in the php files, so unless you know php its gonna be hard for you to help very much.

I don't get an error, it just reverts back after I click Save.

Gary, try CHMODing all of the files in the /forums/Themes/default/languages/ directory, that may take care of the problem (with the date registered mod, at least).

I'm a little confused why this forum should be restored. According to the e-mail "extensive damage" was done to the forum after a recent upgrade. What damage was done. :dunno: I don't see anything wrong. :no:

That's because the damage is in the inner workings of the forum and is not readily visible to regular members.

Jesse gave me a good idea, and I'm going to try it. The forum may go down briefly. It will be back soon.

Okay, when you go to edit your profile, and on the notifications section, I have checked that I want to get e-mail notifications when someone replies to my posts. I did say (and checked) yes. And ever since the site upgrade and the recent fixes, I never got any notfication anymore. The last email I got from here is when you wrote about the site getting fixed. :noexpression:

Is it possible to implement an option for us to disable the YouTube videos that automatically pop up, or perhaps have a BBcode for it (i.e. [youtube] [/youtube])? As it is now, it takes my computer awhile to load pages with big YouTube players on it.

I don't think so. People wanted an easy way to see YouTube vids posted here, so I installed the mod. If I uninstall the mod, then we go back to the old way, having to click a link and be transported to Youtube.

Just to forewarn, that the release of SMF 2.0 rc2 may (will?) be getting a new default theme for the forum software. I'm reading Simple Machines' website and I have to say, I'm on the fence about it. There is no set release date yet, but why not take a gander at the previews now.

Don't worry... Me and Martin have been collaborating on AIM and anything that does or will get done has to get approved by him. for instance.... If I go to Martin on AIM and say "I have a bug fix/feature that could benefit the TWC Today site. It does x, y, z and fixes pi, beta, and theta. May I add the changes now?" and if he says no, I don't do it. He's in full control. We came to this agreement mutually. :P Don't worry. I'm not trying to overtake the site :fear:

I notice a lot of the pages on the TWCT site are not working properly. A lot of old videos I want to view, anything that has to do with Intellistar (videos of the Intellistar LF, Intellistar Star Flavor Guide) and a few other pages will not work. These have been problematc for weeks and even months, and nothing seems to have been done about them.

Why does it matter? I don't see the big deal with signatures of any length (within reason). I fail to see why mine had to be shortened. :dunno:

Not to be rude, but yours doesn't look shortened at all. :no: Martin, what do you mean by "lines"?

Uh, okay...
The bottom line was supposed to be three lines, and I know I did not shorten that.

Yeah, that's what I am saying. I don't see why it matters, so long as the signature length is within reason.

All I'm going to say is that there are several people here who have sigs that are so big that their unsightly. I had thought long and hard about making similar restrictions, but just decided to go with the live and let live approach to the problem. I think Martin is 100% justified in making these restrictions. It seems to me that for the most part the only people not liking the restrictions are those who have sigs that are not within those restrictions.  <_<

Well, I think it is just stupid and unnecessary. 7 lines is too short to say much of anything. As long as it is within reason, people should be allowed to set their own limits.

I thought about going lower than 7 lines.
A signature is meant to be a brief statement or perhaps display a small image you want to share. NOT to tell your life story!!   
Do you really need to tell the entire history of the XL and IS and how you dont like it in a paragraph that is shown under EVERY post you make?  I honestly dont think so. Long signatures clutter up things, makes reading posts difficult. Long signatures are distracting and are unnecessary IMO.

Actually, yes, I do. I have already shortened it myself, taking out the two qoutes I had there, and minor tidbits that did not add to the point I am attempting to make.
My signature was fine as it was, and did not clutter things up at all. I made sure to organize it and make it look neat. To me, my signature is a way to express my views. 7 lines is not enough, and 5 would not be a smart idea, IMO.

You guys all agree, fine. I don't. My signature is my signature and I should have control over how it looks. It was fine as it was.

Hate to tell you this. But I agree with Martin as well.

Signature defines as...
A signature (from Latin signare, "sign") is a handwritten (and sometimes stylized) depiction of someone's name, nickname or even a simple "X" that a person writes on documents as a proof of identity and intent

Simple as that, not a 2 paragraph essay on god knows what.

There. I even shortened my signature so I could add a few words to it. Now, it does look cluttered since there is little separation between each of my ideas.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: Mike M on May 07, 2009, 06:17:19 AM
There is a perhaps more important problem with the seven line limit. I have a lot of BBcode tags in my signature which takes over a good part of it (especially in the links to my Facebook, twitter, etc). I really don't have much on there, it's the tags that prevent me from resaving it.

Aaron, ask others for help with the artwork if needed.  If you'd rather keep your signature as text, try quick bullet points or a brief list so that you still say what you want but far more efficiently.  I counted 13 complete sentences in your signature, and that's just way too many.  Just state that you hate the current IntelliStar, HiRAD, and Trupoint.  If we want to know why you hate them, we'll ask you personally.

I would just like to say that this whole thing would not be such an issue had I not been confronted with it. I was never asked kindly to change the length of my signature. It was done for me, and I was made to feel as though everyone is against me. If I can get help from Jesse and Patrick, then maybe I can manage to shorten my signature. But again, it was fine as it was and my signature is my signature.
Title: Re: Site News
Post by: Mike M on May 07, 2009, 03:47:04 PM
Seven seems fine to me. I can barely fit all of my links with seven, and my signature isn't long at all. Does anyone have an answer to the question I posted this morning?

I think the best solution to this is to set the default font size of signature to a lower size, like 1 instead of 2 like it is now. That would make it considerably shorter, and we could increase the limit a line or two. In fact, I think a character limit is better than a line limit, like, say, 500 characters. That's how it's like in most forums, and the signatures would turn out better that way.

Actually there was a character limit I put in place but I am taking that down a notch. As for the lines, I think 7 is good for now.

Well thanks a lot Martin, that unnecessary change of signature length truncated my signature. Do you want to get rid of them altogether? Seems that way to me.

I already took out tidbits of info tat did notadd to my points, took out spaces between thoughts/ideas/points, and also took out some extre emotocons that needed to be there. Is there any room for a signature at all?

You are allowed 700 characters. Isn't that long enough for most people?

If there is a large outcry over this I will consider changing. I reduced my computers resolution to compare how the forums looked with current signatures but still saw things as cluttered. I really dont see the big problem. :dunno:

nobody likes to see outrageously long and pointless signatures...your signature right now (the text you have) is unnecessary, and honestly am surprised an admin has not gotten after you for it. you're the only one with the issue on this topic, and for the most part the mass majority tends to win in situations like this, that being said - just three more words: get over it.

Post by: wxntrafficfan on May 07, 2009, 06:02:32 PM
Well, I believe now is the time to apologize for this whole mess I have caused with the signatures. I am sincerely sorry for all of this. I got very hot-headed, as many things have been adding up as of late, especially with school. I felt my signature stated my opinions well, and communicated my views of the Intellistar. I thought I had already edited it enough, but apparently not. I began an argument I should not have, and I became a target with the situation. This is NOT how I wanted everyone on the forums here to get to know me. I appeared selfish and stubborn, and again, that is not how I wanted to come off.

All I want is to be able to get to know people here on the forums (and on youtube), and that has not been going well. I feel that I can't interact with anyone, and anything I say on these forums gets disagreed with or mocked. I just want to be able to get to know users here. I acted like an immature child, pushing myself further away from this. Please consider my apology and I am willing to meet anyone halfway with all of this. I am working on a new signature with some help that fits guidelines.

Also looking at more enhancements for the forums.  One that I found was a more iPhone-friendly SMF theme, but it was not free.  Still looking.
If you find something cool feel free to share it :) Always looking for cool features for the forums

Martin, I really think you should put in a Youtube icon on the profile. If it is there, it will not be needed in signatures and could actually make them shorter.  :yes: :thumbsup:

Skype (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1600)

This is such a *minor* tweak idea (and forgive me if this suggestion shouldn't be here), but is it possible that we can get the "Join Date" to be on its own line and not on the same one as either the gender or online status? :dunno:

It is here, but he might have a lower monitor resolution that causes the join date to be on two lines.

1280 x 800 pixels

EDIT: And attached is what the profile looks like on my computer. Like I said, the "Join Dae" is such a *minor* issue, but I think it would look better if it had its own line. :yes:

It depends on what computer everyone is using I believe. I, however actually have the "Join Date" on it's own line...

I use IE. But when I opened the page in Firefox (I usually don't use this but have it on my computer) the "Join Date" has its own line. :yes:

This being said, I wonder if the problem may not be able to fixed since it depends on the browser? If not, that's OK...thanks for checking, though. :)

What version of IE do you use? I tried visiting this site in IE 8 on my laptop, with the same resolution as you, and the Join Date displays properly.

Add one of the first for high-level management: darbs = Geoffrey Darby (my own find). References to TWC, a plane from Atlanta to NY (yeah, he lives in NY) and a You Can't Do That on Television (part of his resume) allusion confirm it.

Rebekah Todd (rebekahtodd) might work at TWC, because she has a lot of TWC people in the following list as well as Geoffrey Darby.

Post by: jtmal0723 on August 08, 2009, 12:12:13 AM
Martin can clarify but the stream is what set twc off.... The chat is still up and will remain up though. I heard him mention that he may put the stream of his weatherscan emulator up in its place... However I haven't heard anything about it since.

Again, the chat is still up... Other pages are in the process of being redone and reuploaded with no definite timeframe of when they'll be up. Again, it's Martin's discretion of when and how things will proceed.

As some of you have noticed, a few minor CSS design changes were implemented on the site... the table was expanded to 948 pixels, to accommodate the typical resolution of screens nowadays, which is 1024x768. With this change, I upped the font size a bit. You'll notice the menu system is in all caps now, and it was a design change I decided to go with since increasing the font size made the text bold for some reason when in title case, and small caps just looks very odd on the menu, so I went with all caps (yet it's technically all lowercase  :thumbsup:)... Not sure if anything else will get changed, but I hope everyone enjoys it! I do! Now I'm going to bed, lol. ^_^

Martin, can you leave a link to download the videos so people can view them in Windows Media Player if they care to? Personally, I hate the flash option and think it is annoying, but that's just my opinion.

Yes, I agree. I'm sure most like to keep the files on their computer anyway. I sure do.

In normal instances I would but these are not from a member of the forum and I had to ask permission to use them. All videos in the future will include a download link. Ill ask and see if we can add them for these videos.

As for the flash player, its staying for good. There were a ridiculous amount of file formats posted. Some people couldn't play certain videos without the right codec/player etc. From now on all videos will be in the .mp4 format

You know you can try the "download this video" option (if you have Real Player) that will pop up if you mouse over a flash video. Then, you can convert it to any format you wish, also in Real (chances are it will download in a .flv format). More trouble than it may be worth, but if you truly want the video, it's the way to go.

I didn't think it was so critical that people be able to download this kind of stuff but I will for future content that I have permission to do so.

I've increased the anti-spam levels on registration here by adding a few simple math questions and making the graphical letters image harder.  I've seen way too many bot members join here the past month, and I want to make sure we have actual people and not spammers.  I also have changed the settings to where new members will be sent an email to the address they provide on sign up so that they can click on a link confirming they're not a bot before their account is fully active.  If any of you have questions or concerns, please let me know!

There is a complete code rewrite in the works for the logo generation code to improve logo retrieval performance (i.e. generating times, faster loading). Although it's fast loading already, there's always room for improvement. Once I'm done, I'll load it in to the forums for beta testing before final release, in which I will then release the source code for public use, with support via PM, for use on your own websites.

In the interim, I have fixed the scheduling in the logo so that it follows TWC's programming schedule as of September 27th.

Let me know if logo related issues come up, i.e. blank image, errors pop up when you load the URL directly, etc.

The rewritten beta code is now live for a week long beta testing. Let me know if you experience any errors - specifically mention if it loads the wrong logo at the wrong time, if the logo is empty or not loading, etc. Thanks!
Well, it's been almost two weeks, and I haven't seen anything wrong with the rotating banners yet.  Nice job, Jesse!

I completely forgot about this :blushing:

Yes, the code has not seen any problems lately, so now I shall release the source code for all to use on your own websites, if you want, with full support via PM if needed, as it's a little confusing to most.

Actually, I can see bats flying out from the moon, so that's good enough for me.  I was just remarking how many Halloween themes got compiled all together into that one banner.  I can only dream of having that much artistic talent.

I'm hoping the wap2 issue is fixed, but SMF has mentioned it's a "bugfix" release...
Quote
    A couple of security-related fixes.
    Better compatibility with RTL languages.
    Several important fixes of attachments handling
    Several fixes and improvements concerning other database systems, PostgreSQL and SQLite
    Improvements of the behavior of PM feature in conversation mode
    Improvements of the behavior for UTF8 charsets
    Fixes and improvements of integration hooks

The update may not occur until the weekend at the earliest, unless Martin can ship me the packages and mods that are installed so I can do it myself. Also, with this update, it may be possible that the wxcenter theme will be unusable for a while. You'll know, as everyone would be switched back to the curve theme if it happens.

Well when we merged members we manually combined post counts. So if Bob at a TWCC account with 1000 posts and a TWCT account with 100 we just made it 1100. A recount would set "Bob" to 100.  I'll look and see if I cant just transfer the old posts over

Good luck, lol... It took me a few days to import the TWCC database over, it may take longer ot search for the users... TWCC user IDs start at 10000, so have fun!  :happy: If I hadn't switched job positions, I would help :(

The other option is that I can look at each profile for members who request an accurate count and manually set the counts to what they should be.  However, Matt already deleted the TWCC forum, so I can't determine how many posts everyone had on that forum to add to what they've posted here for a total count.  I would need some way to find out to complete this task for everyone.  Martin, it's up to you on how you want to proceed with this issue.

Okay, okay.  Sorry I even brought it up. :hmm:  I'm just doing my job of reporting any errors or problems and was only offering help if it was needed.  I'm so used to reporting and correcting number issues at work that it's a natural thing for me to notice.  If you guys don't think it's a big deal, then it's fine with me.

Patrick, I'm like you are. Although I doubt people look very closely at post counts, I always like having the "correct" number too. :yes: However, I can understand that others couldn't care less no matter what. (If you want to go in and manually change my post count, it was 3007. :P)

Thank you for doing your job. I appreciate it. :)

Martin said earlier that the PBS backup would have to be from last Sunday. ;) Although...I don't see any posts missing (guess I can't remember what was posted after Martin's Macy's Thanksgiving parade picture), and it is nice to see the PBS back up and working with the posts from the temporary topic merged in with the thread.

It was just a temporary thing that I wanted to get up for this event. Unfortunately I still have to custom remove some modifications before we can upgrade. With the next version of SMF being such a minor upgrade I have a hard time justifying putting a lot of effort into upgrading asap. The Holidays are a crazy time for everyone too. It definitely will be in the near future.

How about this: The TWCT logo being darkish blue or green (both would be fine as well), with the words "Primed for Excitement (tm)" on the bottom.

Many of us know our Weatherscan ID number, so I have added a field in the forum profiles just for that. As with the other ID number fields, it has a max limit of 5 digits (omit the leading 0; i.e. 27543 instead of 027543). If you don't have Weatherscan, or do not know the ID number, please leave the field blank.

Because TWC has updated all the Comcast logos in it's database to the Xfinity logo, I have made that change in the forum profile field for your STAR information.

Edit: Since I edited a field that was already populated, anyone who has Comcast must go in and select Xfinity as their provider, or your cable provider will appear blank. Sorry for the inconvenience, I thought it would just automatically make the change in your profiles. Guess not.

I have noticed it a fair bit over the past weeks, and I have pretty fast internet.  However, I didn't know if it was just a fluke on my end until the rest of you spoke up.  In fact, the forum wouldn't let me make this post on the first try now, and I had to back out and redo it.  It does come and go, so I often just force a refresh several times to get everything going again.  Thanks for sending in the ticket, Martin.

It was a combination of host and database issues. I worked with the host for several hours today and we finally corrected the problem a little while ago. Please report any issues that you notice like missing posts or broken links.
I have yet to see a missing post or a broken link, so everything seems good to me. :thumbsup:

Awesome. You never know after a database issue whether something got dropped or removed. Glad to see we are in the clear!  Thanks for your patience everyone

Hey guys, we have a new artist on the forums!  The awesome St. Patrick's Day logo that you now see (thanks for putting it up, Martin) was made by Zach.  Hope you enjoy it.  Happy St. Patrick's Day! :D

Not a problem guys! And Andy, thanks for allowing me to design a logo :blushing: I didnt want to design one with you already having one designed so I owe it to him for getting clearance before I submitted it :biggrin:

Again, I really hoped everyone here enjoyed the logo yesterday! :biggrin: I designed it from scratch using the PSD of the plain TWCT/TWCC logo last weekend and went all over the place looking for the stock images to use. :blushing: It was my pleasure in the creation of the logo and thanks Martin for putting it up :thumbsup:

Don't worry, I'm not Andy's replacement, either.. if you like his logos :P

I've been noticing a large increase in guest posts recently, and some of them have come from previously banned members.  I'd like to ask everyone, especially the administrators and moderators, if we should consider disabling guest posting to prevent these problems and actually encourage people to register here and become members.  I'm kind of getting tired of monitoring guest posts and figuring out if the person is really legit or someone trying to sidestep around a ban.  Thoughts?

If guest posting is getting abused to the extent in which previously-banned members are using it to remain anonymous (in which most cases, this is true on here), then I think it should be disabled. :yes:

It was allowed because an individual in a high position wanted to comment discretely on issues. Since they haven't been around in a while I think we can close it.

I have closed guest posting today.  If there's any reason we need to re-open it, please let us know.

The Thanksgiving logo Andy made in 2010 has been put up. If anyone would like to contribute possible entries for a holiday logo for the forums for 2012, let me know if you would like to contribute, I'll designate and create a thread for entries and put up a poll! :happy:

I was a bit concerned about guest posting back in the past. I always thought it wasn't too helpful, especially that it poses a open door to banned members. Good to see that it's been disabled.

Ahh, that logo from 2010...brings back good memories :3

Hey everyone!

As you may have seen in some of Patrick's discussion in The Front Porch, we are trying to raise interest here a little bit by bringing some of our discussion towards more general weather chat, including more detailed forecasting techniques such as analyzing weather models, and understanding the math and physics behind meteorology.  We may even have a forecasting challenge game so that some of you who like to forecast or have always wanted to forecast can give it a try!

Reflecting this change, you will see two new boards for "Forecasting" and "Hazardous Weather" under the "Weather Discussion" category.  Currently, the boards are empty, but in the coming days and weeks, we will start to add new topics and get everything organized.

We hope you like this new idea! :D

Post by: phw115wvwx on April 06, 2013, 02:20:57 PM
Thanks for getting all of those weather boards organized, Andy!  You did a great job. :biggrin:

I've begun to populate these boards with older topics so you can see a few of the ideas I was hoping to start in the Weather category of this forum.  Here's the plan I shared with Martin and Andy that we are implementing as of today:


I hope you like the new weather boards, and please feel free to ask any of us questions or provide more suggestions as it's an evolving part of the forum for all of you! :happy:

Some of you may have noticed the site was down for a while. This was an error due to a mistake made by our hosting company with our account information. Sorry for the inconvenience

Martin (the owner of TWC Today) doesn't have much time to work on the site these days.
