The Weather channel said that it causes mood changes.

Oh really? I doubt it.

You lose sleep in this time change.

TWC Today News / Re: TWC Classics and TWC Today

I guess you can put my vote in as a yes. I'm not too familiar with TWCC anyways since I never visit the site or made an account on there. But the TWC Classics board on this forum could really use a boost, imo, as I am learning the history of TWC.

Filedropper just took a  on me after waiting 3 hours for no reason. Youtube did fine, so I don't see a fail message at all.

More likely I'll have mine late night or tomorrow.

Currently unboxing my new phone! It's a Motorola Clutch i465 for Boost Mobile. I always wanted that phone because of the plan they offered. For $50 a month you can get unlimited everything. (talk, text, web, walkie talkie, etc). Everyone in my family has a Boost phone, so.. I now join them! 

If you do a Google News search for weather channel the second article was this. I though their source was interesting

Ok, a lot of the day has gone by...and the LDL has been growing on me.  I enjoy the compact version a lot more than the "full" 1/3 screen version...but I still think they need to do the following:
1. Expand it to utilize more of the screen
2. Add the clock
3. Get rid of the on/off transition that shows just the blue on the bottom of the screen with no info
4. Solidify the temp position - i.e. like before, time/temp for the main location.  Don't get me wrong, I like seeing the current temp of surrounding locations, it's just confusing for less avid viewers to have the temperature changing all the time (especially since it's never been that way on TWC)
5. Get rid of the HD feed's national city list on the right side...bottom is more acceptable I suppose...more-so annoying with how much space it wastes for places I don't care about!
6. Change the brown/gold/yellow to more of a yellowish gold or perhaps light blue (like on the old LDL).  It seems very out of place compared to the rest of the graphics updates
7. Get rid of the goofy cheese wheel sun!

  dude. you crack me up with that graphic. I agree with you on the LDL. They need to add more stuff such as the clock. Have you seen Matt (tpirfan28)'s mock ldl? I prefer it exactly like that, just to get rid of all that space.

If TWC add some "glow" to the sun, then it wouldnt be a cheeseball.

Yeah, I have a feeling they should get their icons updated, too. Hopefully soon.

~yawn~ Tired from staying up until 5am haha

I'm tired myself. After I woke up at 12:30 am this morning to check on TWC, I couldnt sleep again. So I'm taking a nap after the LAT48s.

Oh wait, I have a TON of werk to do.

I miss a clock

Yeah, the only thing I like about the old LDL was the clock. They should have added that to the new LDLs imo.
