Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Possible bugs

« on: March 30, 2008, 08:40:32 PM »

I noticed sometimes when I quote a post or PM I'm replying to, and if the post in the quote tags has an emoticon in it, the text I type below the quote doesn't show up unless I remove the emoticon. Also, whenever I try to use this emoticon in my post, it doesn't show up. It doesn't happen when I try to post any other emoticon. I know this forum version is a beta so I was expecting these type of issues, but I was letting you know so you could forward this to SMF. Thanks.

General Discussion / DVD Drive Problems

« on: March 28, 2008, 04:26:27 PM »

I'm trying to burn something to a DVD, but it tells me that the drive is not accessable and it's an "incorrect function." Does anyone know what's causing this? I hope this doesn't mean I have to buy a new replacement drive.

This winter season (December 2007-February 2008) turned out to be the coolest winter we've seen since 2001, and the 54th coolest since records began in 1895, according to the NCDC. Here is the full story.

General Discussion / Laptop trackpad problems

« on: March 15, 2008, 02:34:43 PM »

I think my iBook G4 laptop's trackpad is starting to go. I've been having problems where the trackpad wouldn't work for a short time when I try to move it. While this has been happening for more than a year, it was just recently where I have discovered that it's getting worse. Right now I am using my external USB mouse. I think it's just because it's wearing out, because the surface of the touchpad is so shiny you can see a reflection easily. Would I have to get the trackpad replaced? What I am concerned is that the extended warrenty for this machine expired last fall, so I would probably have to pay big bucks to get it replaced. I don't want to have to go with an Intel machine since there are programs I have on here that won't work, and I would have to get new accesories for a MacBook since they are different in size (I actually don't really care for the MB's anyway because I heard many compaints from Macworld about them). Any ideas?

Didn't see any thread like this in a search, so I decided to start one. In this thread, talk about anything sports.

Tonight I went to a Flyers (NHL) game against the New York Islanders. The Flyers win 4-1!

« on: March 03, 2008, 06:26:38 AM »

Lately I have not gotten any email notifications from YouTube saying that I have new comments on my videos, when I have indeed been getting those comments. I checked my email settings and the notifications were enabled. Is this occuring for anyone else?

Everything Else TWC / Health Maps

« on: February 22, 2008, 10:59:07 AM »

Does anyone remember the days when TWC use to frequently show the pollen index and other health maps? I remember seeing it all the time during the LifeStyles segment. I found them useful since I get allergies and head colds a lot during the spring. I haven't seen them do this since around 2003. Apparently now TWC thinks the weather forecast is the only thing that's important.

Local Forecast / Does/did your XL have narration?

« on: February 17, 2008, 05:52:16 PM »

Since some XL's didn't have the narration enabled, I thought I create this topic. Does/did your Weather Star XL have narration? When was it added?

My XL (in Lower Bucks, PA) came into the airwaves in early 1999, replacing the 4000. The narration was added to my XL in the summer of 2000. Then, around May or June 2002, the narration was turned off. My XL remained narration-free until it was replaced by the IntelliStar early in 2004.
