Gary, you should've done a search first... There is a thread pinned about this very same naming issue at the top of the local forecast forum...

« on: August 20, 2008, 05:19:57 PM »When is InvisionFree ever going to upgrade to IPB 2.0? I heard like 2-3 years ago that they were upgrading within a few months, but I have yet to see any signs of updates. Has this been put on hold?They're not upgrading to IPB 2.x because IPB 2.x is not free, so they would have to charge for the service. They have started a new forum software, called ZetaBoards.

I've only been to a Roy Rodgers once, in New Jersey. I was pretty young, so I don't remember it very well.

So today is my first day of band camp for the year. First off, it's so darn dry outside, all the grass fields are starting to turn brown and get really dusty, so my allergies are starting to act up. To make things even worse, I started to get a cold yesterday. I'm not sure my runny nose is caused by the allergies, cold, or a combination of both.
Also, I had some problems connecting to the school network this afternoon. Yesterday, when I got here, I connected and had to update the "Clean Access Agent" program which must be installed to access the network. Then this afternoon, I tried to connect and it required that I update Symantic anti virus (which MUST be installed and up-to-date in order to connect). That was a pain in the butt and ate up a half an hour.

« on: August 18, 2008, 07:29:28 AM »IIRC, they didn't go to Storm alert for Dolly, so I doubt they will for Fay since it is not expected to be any stronger than what Dolly was.Right. There was no Storm Alert during Dolly, so I don't expect them to go into Alert mode for a weaker storm. But on the other hand, TWC is known to do some pretty odd stuff.
