So what's the deal with the video wall? Is it discontinued, or are they working on a glitch or something with it?

Hurricane Central / Hurricane Lisa
« on: September 18, 2010, 09:52:46 PM »
Another disturbance has formed west of Cape Verde, and has a 40% potential of becoming a tropical cyclone. Thunderstorm activity has been increasing in this system today so this is something we should keep an eye on.

Here are what models show. Although still way too early to tell, the east coast of the US should still monitor this.

I wanted to invite a friend over onto this forum and while doing that I noticed that the "send this topic" feature on all the topics disappeared. Is it possible to bring this back?

Hello STAR team,

I know when hurricanes are approaching, you usually enable the zoomed out satellite feature so viewers can see the hurricane better. I was wondering if you could possibly do this to the east coast STARs for approaching Hurricane Earl. This is an example of what I'm talking about:

General Weather Chat / Wind Chill Advisories
« on: August 22, 2010, 01:27:59 PM »
Does the NWS still issue Wind Chill Advisories? I haven't been under one since early 2007, and we've certainly seen much colder temperatures with windy conditions since.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Attachments getting deleted/corrupt
« on: August 12, 2010, 09:54:13 PM »
I notice after a few months after attachments here are uploaded, they either get deleted or corrupt that I can't open them. Can this get fixed? I assume the attachments cannot be restored, but can this get fixed so it doesn't happen in the future?

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / IntelliStar cueing everything late
« on: August 09, 2010, 09:30:47 AM »
Yesterday, I visited a relative's that has Verizon and the Philadelphia IntelliStar (ID# 27098). The entire time I was there, everything was cueing about 5 seconds late, including the local forecast, station ID, LDL, and local sponsorship tags. I'm assuming this issue is still ongoing, so if you can please look into this, that would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm ready to run my Weatherscan emulator on my XP machine again and I need a new key as my current one is well out of date. I tried "getting my key" and it still gives me the old one which doesn't work.

Moderate potential of this invest of becoming a tropical depression - winds currently 30 mph.

 A WESTWARD-MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE GULF OF TEHUANTEPEC
IS SHOWING SIGNS OF IMPROVED ORGANIZATION. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE CONDUCIVE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR AND THERE IS A
MEDIUM CHANCE...40 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL
CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

TWC and your Cable Company / Evolution DTA
« on: August 01, 2010, 01:20:40 PM »
I really like these Evolution DTAs, which is what Frankfort Plant Board uses, because they have a lot more features than Comcast's dtas, such as a cable guide, better, translucent graphics, etc. Anyway, would these converters work with Comcast TV too?
