Models have been getting Earl caught up in the ridge but the latest runnings are showing that scenario become increasingly unlikely.

I have gone in and manually changed a bunch of members but it is so easy to do more keep appearing. Its easy to correct if you notice it but a good portion of the members who have it pinned out there aren't too active.In my profile, the pin on the map is off the coast of Africa () instead of in Chicago, IL. Why is this, and what can I do to fix it?
I think this means you haven't set your pin yet because your pin doesn't show up on the "Master Member Map."To add a pin, go to your profile and under "forum profile," find the United States and place your pin where you want to.
BTW, we have a couple of misplaced pins on the big member map. I didn't realize a couple of our members lived in the Atlantic Ocean!

The hacking issue was quickly dealt with as to solve little interruption but the main pages of our site and forum were replaced by some arabic site. I think it was around Feb? No user data was compromised it was more of an annoyance than anything. Someone got root access to HostGos servers. It was not our end that was compromised

« on: August 25, 2010, 05:37:47 AM »Hi everyone.. I really apologize for not being on last night at all cuz I went to bed at 7:30 and woke up at 5 AM and still tiredInteresting day! I remember my close encounters with lightning. Good times
My first day was awesome socially and terrible procedure-wise. Lightning struck the school and caused power to blink and the fire alarms were in chance of going off as they reconnected the system, the lightning struck the electricity at the portables. Ironically I was almost struck by lightning three years ago from yesterday but was in an outside environment

« on: August 25, 2010, 05:32:01 AM »Not necessarily with pricing but support and feature wise HostGo has fallen behind. I personally believe we can get a better bang for the buck and more reliability elsewhere. Their support has been slow and unresponsive at times, their servers have been hacked and our site has been modified as a result. Some time ago their servers were hacked and our forum and site index pages were changed to some arabic site with hate related content. Downtime on their end has resulted in corrupted databases and files. We have put up with a lot, I would like to see what other fish are in the pond. I am extensively researching alternatives.Our hosts plans are not competitive with other high ranking hostsWow, really? Unless you're not with HostGo anymore, I find that hard to believe.

Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Danielle
« on: August 25, 2010, 05:20:15 AM »Andy and Tavores, La Niņa is only one factor among many to consider. The dry air and wind shear can be found locally in patches and will never completely vanish. La Niņa conditions only means that it's more likely there will be more favorable conditions for hurricanes, but note that it's only a probability, not a guarantee.SAL has been rather pesky this year as well for tropical development. Would you say any more than usual?
Martin, intensity is the most difficult forecasting problem in a tropical cyclone forecast, so I'm just reinforcing it with more emphasis. I don't mean to offend anyone. I'm glad you all are a more educated group as I've had to struggle explaining these things to the normal public.Oh I thought someone had mentioned it and I missed it. Sorry bout that. Yes intensity is about as accurate as a blind man bowling.
Models have started an interesting trend. Some believe this trough over the east coast will weaken and thus take this system more westward. Still the majority keep it well out in the Atlantic. I have very little confidence in this system getting anywhere near the eastern seaboard as of now.
NOGAPS doing its thing....

Programming and Graphics / Re: So...when has TWC really jumped the shark?
« on: August 25, 2010, 05:10:31 AM »
Seems like these whine-fest threads become a monthly thing now. Well here is my opinion. NBC is not responsible for all of the shifts in direction TWC has experienced, they merely sped it up. TWC has done nothing different than any other cable network has done.
You ask when did this happen? It happened the day people kept watching TWC when they starting airing long form and non weather programming. If they weren't getting decent viewers and ratings then TWC wouldn't be showing it now would they? TWC is a for profit company. Some of you seem to forget that. Its a business and a business is designed to make money. End of story.

General Discussion / Re: What do you drive?
« on: August 25, 2010, 01:39:47 AM »Do you like your Corolla? A friend of mine is thinking of getting one.
I drive a 1999 Oldsmobile Aurora, and I LOVE it! It's got better features than my mom's 2002 Chrysler Sebring
Corolla is a decent car. Not frilly or anything but its a good car. I'll be trading it in probably sometime in the near future. They tend to keep good trade in values thankfully.
A friend of mine just got a 2010 Corolla not long ago and it's pretty nice, I was surprised at how much room was in the back seat, I'm a fairly big guy and I sat back there very comfortably.
I've been thinking about getting a new car for myself, I change cars as often as I change computers...Although this time I'm trading in the soccer mom SUV for a sports car. It's either going to be an Audi S5... http://models.audiusa.com/s5-cabriolet
or a BMW M3... http://www.bmwusa.com/standard/content/vehicles/2011/m/m3coupe/default.aspx
Nice!! Love BMWs!
