Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Possible bug with IMG tags

« on: February 15, 2008, 05:14:20 PM »

Whenever I paste a code for clickable thumbnails into a post, the forum automatically puts "http" into the tag, causing http to display twice in the link. This requires me to manually remove the http from the code in order for the thumbnail to work properly. Is it possible for this to be fixed?

General Discussion / Downloading/converting YouTube videos

« on: February 10, 2008, 05:47:48 PM »

Does anyone know any completely free (not trials) programs or websites that download and convert YouTube videos? I googled and tried a web-based converter called vixy.net, but it refuses to download the video when I paste the link and hit download. Then I continued searching and came across a program that does downloads/converts videos, but it claims to me that the URL doesn't exist, and it does (and yes, I checked my internet connection and it was fine). Thanks for any help.

Local Forecast / Your Ideas for Flavor Lineups

« on: January 13, 2008, 01:50:02 PM »

Since a lot of us here seem to dislike the flavor lineups for the IntelliStar, post what you think the lineups you would like to see on the IntelliStar (and other STAR's too if you'd like).

Here's my ideas for the systems with traffic. Notice that my lineups are somewhat similar to how the IntelliStar was like during its early months.

:10 Regional Conditions
:18 Regional Doppler (2 cycles)
:26 Daypart Forecast
:34 Almanac
:42 Air Quality Forecast

:66 36 Hour Forecast (12 seconds for each daypart)
:102 Daypart Forecast
:112 Traffic Overview

:18/:48 (1:30 min)
:00 Current Conditions
:08 2-page City Observations
:24 Regional Doppler (1 cycle)
:28 Daypart Forecast
:35 Getaway Forecast*

:82 3-day Forecast

:28/:58 (2 min)
:00 Current Conditions

TWC Fan Art / Lower Thirds

« on: November 17, 2007, 03:04:12 PM »

I am currently working on a project that I started last week on designing the current lower thirds in Microsoft PowerPoint 2003. Yes I do know Tyler planned on doing this as well and he is still welcome to make his own, but I also wanted to do this as something to do when I have nothing else on the agenda.

After I make the regular one and two-line graphics, I might go into other lower third graphics too, such as the mini lower thirds and storm alert ones. BTW, I need to know if there are any free fonts that are at least similar to the logos for Weekend Outlook, Weather Center, and PM Edition. If you know any, please drop me a message. Thanks.

Anyway, I started with the easiest logos to make first, so here they are:

I have downloaded a connecter so I can use my Hotmail account in Outlook 2003. However, I have a problem when I try to view my Hotmail folder. I get this error (see below). I appreciate it if anyone can help me with this.

General Discussion / What anti-virus software do you use?

« on: September 12, 2007, 10:56:11 PM »

Just curious, what anti-virus software do you use?

I'm currently using Norton 360 on my PC. It's basically an anti-virus, internet security, file backup/restore software, and PC tune-up software all in one. Works pretty good, and I payed just $70 for it.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Icons

« on: September 10, 2007, 06:28:41 PM »

Gary, I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but the smileys in the "message icon" section (the pull-down menu where you select an icon to use for your post or topic) were not upgraded to the IPB ones. They are still the old Simple Machines icons. I just wanted to let you know in case you didn't.

Here are the new IPB message icons in case you are wondering where to find them:

General Discussion / Windows Question

« on: September 10, 2007, 03:03:39 PM »

Can you install Windows XP on a Vista pre-installed computer? How do you do this? The reason I ask is because my school got new computers this year. It has the "Windows Vista" sticker on the computer casing, but I saw that Windows XP is actually on the computer.
