I dunno if having the actual slogan on the logo is a good idea for copyright reasons..
with the words "Primed for Excitement (tm)" on the bottom.

Although it would be interesting to see another logo, I don't really see why we need a special one for "Primed for Excitement." Isn't it basically like any other long-form? :dunno:

It's a 1 (I think 2) hour block of long-form "madness". They air episodes of Weather Caught On Camera and other shows that I've never heard of before. xD

I actually didn't know Primed for Excitement was trademarked. Still you think they wouldn't complain since we were giving free publicity!

Okay, I give up. What's "primed for excitement?"

Some slogan TWC is using to promote longform during primetime hours.

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.

Experiencing some performance problems with the forums. The issue is being looked into now.

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.

Odd oversight but the permissions have been corrected for postings in the news forum. Sorry about that

Anyone else experiencing issues with the site in the past day or two? I sure am. Slow loading times, and sometimes no loading at all.

I have been for about the past month.. Martin and i spoke in person earlier about this issue and he thought it was just him and the same with me on our connections, but then i started believing it was on the server's side when I arrived in Richmond saturday night and it was doing the same.. :thinking:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

I have been having this problem also, but I never brought it up because I naturally assumed it was my snail paced internet connection to blame.

I have noticed it sometimes but it usually goes away after a few seconds. I have sent in a ticket for our host to examine the problem.
