I'm not an admin. I'm working with martin, he is making ALL the decisions in regards to this merger. I'm pretty much his bitch and am doing the behind the scenes part. As I have said before to Martin, and I will say it here: I would not accept a promotion to adminship. It creates a conflict of interest. If Martin has any problems with the things I work on, he usually immediately tells me.

As Ana said, I was explaining the merger process, with Martin's permission.

The sites and their content would be kept separate. The forums would all transition here.

Once I look at the users database and figure out how I will transition them over, I will discuss my findings with Martin and we will pick a weekend in the next few weeks to do it. The forums would be locked and unusable the whole weekend during the users merge seeing as how I might have to import them one by one manually. This is just fair warning to everyone on both forums. I will look at the db in a few days.

hehe, junior year. not ftw

However, I've already taken Patrick's thoughts into mind. I'm making sure I can go into TV production for next year, and I'm planning on re-doing tennis this summer.

Local Forecast / Re: New LDL

« on: March 16, 2010, 07:16:01 PM »

Yeah, I'm noticing a clock on the lower left hand corner of my LDL (bigger one at the moment). But it's so far down there that my TV cuts half of it off. I also notice it cycles through the 4 main time zones, oddly enough.

Thanks for the screenshots. The clock is on the actual national LDL feed. It's in the "window" area of the local LDL, which was originally meant for placement of the ad. Good to see that TWC is using that blank space somewhat productively.

Oh wow, I was wondering what that was for. Sure thing with the screenshots. It was brought up earlier that the clock was added on InDirecTV, so I got curious and turned TWC on for the first time in a couple daze. It's not really that great, but I suppose it is a start.

I will admit that I should give them some brownie points for the radar portion of the LDL there. I like how it looks exactly like the old radar maps that used to be on weather.com back in it's good ol' daze. I also see it has the color coding in the separate color squares instead of the gradual change you see on the code on the LF radar. I wonder if the ice/mix and snow also show up on this radar?

I'm wondering if you know it's spelt "days" not daze

There have been a few issues since before the upgrade that we were hoping would fix themselves when we did upgrade. Evidently not. Martin and/or Stephen will have to take a look at it. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

TWC shouldn't call them lower thirds anymore...just..."the graphic that takes up half of the screen which you don't see most of anyway because the LDL is normally wasting all of that space anyway."  Any takers?

It's actually 40%, or 2/5ths... When they big LDL is on, they're called lower two-fifths >_> .... With the little LDL, they're still l3rds

No official news post was made yet as Martin went to bed shortly thereafter, but the forums were upgraded last night to SMF 2.0 RC3... a few noticeable design changes but overall, everything looks good. Martin will be remodding the forums later today, so don't fret!

Matt, whatever font you use for the logo on your forums, could you send a copy of it my way (with whatever variations you have (bold, thin, etc)), via PM? I want to start working on forum logo concepts....

Heather Tesch in for Kelly Cass on Weekend View.

Is it just me or is anyone else getting tired of those Unisom sponsors for LOT8s?

It's just you.

ugh... Even with the new title bars and icons, Viz still does that stuttering thing once in a while, where it gets "stuck" for a brief moment bringing up the regional forecast maps...
