TWC Today News / Forum Update 2.0 RC1.2
« on: August 02, 2009, 05:53:07 AM »
Today we did a minor update that fixed some site issues and created a few others.

1. Since the last update the email system was not working. However it was saving all of those emails and with the install of the new update, began sending over 7000+ emails that had been queued. This was not expected and could not have been prevented. I apologize for the slew of emails many of you likely got.

2. The PM Notifier does not work but cant be removed at he moment. We are looking into the issues. I advise checking your PM and the notifier will go away.

3. The email system DOES work now. It is using Garys email address. Im not sure why but I will attempt to fix the issues. Some of you all have signed up for updates on topics and forums with high traffics amounts. You likely saw a huge amount of emails. I am sorry. You will need to go to your account and disable notifications or you will continue to see an elevated amount of emails. To do this go to Profile-> Modify  Profile-> Personal Messaging There you can disable being sent an email when you get a PM.

4. The "Members" page has some errors

5. Some of you using the "quick chat" may noticed it was turned off by default. It is still here so if its off for you go to Profile-> Modify Profile ->Look and Layout Then select your choice for Use quick reply on topic display:

6. The SMF default logo is now showing in the top right corner. This will be removed


Please report any problems you may see with the forum.

TWC Today News / Forum Outage
« on: July 22, 2009, 10:07:07 PM »
Early Wednesday morning, the TWC Forums went down without notice and for without reason. I do not believe at this time it was a security issue that caused the forum to fail. Thanks to the help of our great host, we restored a backup of the forum. All posts seem to be intact. Please alert me if there are any site or forum issues.

Thank you to everyone who alerted me of the forum outage. In the future please visit twctodayforums.com or http://www.ustream.tv/channel/norfolk-weather-channel-stream I or others will be on the IRC chat there and can answer your questions. In the event of a long outage, thats the best place to be.

TWC Today News / Calling Weather Fans! -> Rich Johnson
« on: July 15, 2009, 01:11:47 PM »
I have some interesting news! It was recently discovered that Rich Johnson operates a tropcial weather website and forum! Ive checked and it really is our beloved "lets do that" guy! He is dedicated to the site and forum and posts daily. There are very few members there and I think we are the guys who can bring it back to life and put his work and devotion to use!

 I would like to stress... please dont go there and barrage him with questions about TWC. Perhaps one day he will stop by and pay us a visit here. So be nice and respectful please.  :thumbsup:

I made a topic about our site at the link below. If you join, I ask you post a message introducing yourself there and that you came from TWCT. Might help encourage him to stop by :)

« on: July 02, 2009, 04:31:29 AM »
You may have noticed TWC Today has a new logo. What you might not know is our graphics guru Jesse has worked hard to bring us a different logo for different TWC shows. Watch throughout the day as the logo rotates according to the TWC show currently on. Hope you all enjoy it :) Big thanks to Jesse for his handywork on it

The Weather Channel jumped into the Michael Jackson coverage business today, announcing plans to air a three-week retrospective of the weather that transpired during the singer's lifetime.

The retrospective, titled "Bad and Dangerous: Fifty Years of Weather During the Michael Jackson Era," will begin airing this Monday.


Looks like a joke but since it was tweeted by a person at TWC I was thrown off. Sorry. glad its not true. Kinda funny now that you look at it :P

TWC Today News / Personal and Off-Site Issues
« on: June 19, 2009, 03:14:31 AM »
I would like to remind everyone that I, as well as the staff here at TWC Today, can not and will not interfere with personal problems/differences that occur off of this site. People are taking things to seriously. There are some morons in this world who like to annoy people and interfere with them. The best way to deal with that is to simply
A. Ignore them.
B. Report them to the proper authorities. (If it doesnt happen on this site then its not me!!)
C. Let it go (something some people cant grasp)

If anything happens on this site, the proper consequences and investigations will take place. Otherwise I will not issue consequences to members of this site based on speculation and something that occurs off of TWCT.

TWC Today News / Local Across The 48s #4- June 25
« on: June 14, 2009, 02:21:15 AM »
To honor the 2 year anniversary of TWCT I would like to do a Local Across the 48s on June 25!

The time will be 7:57PM ET


For those of you not familiar with this, at a certain time, members across the country capture their local on the 8s. This allows everyone to see weather at different locations and across different STAR platforms. We prefer that you have a video tuner but a digital camera/ camcorder shot will also be accepted. Please try to keep quality as high as possible.

Feel free to post any questions or comments here.

TWC Today News / TWCT Going Strong!
« on: May 30, 2009, 02:58:06 PM »
I wanted to let everyone know that last month we had a record number of unique visitors to the site... 9939 hits! As all of you may have noticed my presence has been thin lately thanks to school but that will be over within a few weeks and I am ready to make some changes at TWCT! The main part of my focus will be on the website. I feel that to maintain a strong interest in this site, it is important to have a fully functional website. I will be adding new content and making sure all of the wonderful content we have is out there for everyone to see. Also support for the emulator will be improved on. I hope to have a better setup for it (on the forums that is) in the near future.

So a big congrats to everyone  :biggrin:

Wx Proof
A brand new series on The Weather Channel, produced by Emmy Award-winning Peacock Productions, "Wx Proof" explores the "what ifs" and "could that really happens" of extreme weather conditions. Our weather testers will expose everyday items to extraordinary conditions to see how long they can survive. (Series premieres second quarter 2010)

Not starting for a while at least but I think we all know what lo8 promos are going to be on from January- June :rolleyes:

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Gallery Feature
« on: May 02, 2009, 05:03:52 AM »
Some of you noticed I added a gallery feature to the forums last night. You can upload videos, music and photos. Right now its only temporary. I am not sure if I want to keep it. What do you guys think? I thought for something like a local across the 48s everyone could upload their video right to the site. This isnt meant to replace Youtube or anything. I think it has many possibilities but im leaving it up to you all to decide. So go check it out and have fun with it today. Post questions and comments here.

What would you all like to see here at the forums and site? Throw out anything big and small. I want to hear from you guys and what you want!!  :biggrin:

TWC Today News / New Administrator and Owner
« on: April 28, 2009, 09:17:26 PM »
Hello TWC Today Members! :wave:

If you haven't heard or seen, I am pleased to announce that I am the new owner and administrator of TWC Today. Thank you to everyone for the kind words of support. Gary was (and still is) an amazing admin! He isn't leaving completely so you will still see him around. Gary brought this site to life and grew it to the largest and most active TWC community to this date. I am grateful he choose me to take over.

I wanted to express a few things to make sure everyone knows whats going to happen to the site and forums.

First off there will be no changes at all to the admin positions. Over time I will evaluate and determine if changes need to be made. ALL current rules and policies in place are still in effect.

I know most of you here at the forum and happily call you all my friends! However please note I cant be Mr. Nice Guy all the time. There will be times when I need to step in or take action. I will not give special treatment to anyone. Please respect my wishes and do not request to be a moderator or admin. As mentioned before I will determine that.

Right now I have lots of ideas and possible plans for the site and forums. However for now things will stay exactly the same. I need time to get my feel for things. Please remember I do have a life outside the forums but I will do everything in my power to make sure I create enough time for this forum. In a worst case scenario I have several people willing to take control of the site should I need to step down.

As for TWC Classics, as far as I am concerned I have no problems with them at this time. Time will tell what happens with that statement.

That being said I cant wait to see what the future holds for us here at TWC Today! See you around the forums!
