Some changes on the Forum

April 17, 2020, 04:37:11 PM by cc17926

Hi Folks - Been doing some house keeping on the forum as of late.
-Fixed the email subsystem, which would affect new users signing up, or exchanging personal messages.
-Removed a bunch of unused user groups, mostly because those people are no longer patrons of the forum anymore.
-Combined all of Matt's "TWCClassics.com"-related forums into one grouping.
-Eliminated the old website which has not been touched ~10 years. Visiting twctodayforums.com will immediately redirect to the forum.

There have been thoughts on adding a "home" page which integrates with our forum, and perhaps bringing some of the old website content back to that in a better curated format.

BIG NEWS: I have set up the integration between the forum and the Tapatalk app for mobile devices. This will allow easy mobile access to collaborate and discuss on this forum.

Coming soon, perhaps a visual re-theme and new logo -- something to fit our time.

I know an old legacy admin 'Stephen' patronizes this forum from time to time, and I would like to hear his input, along with everyone else who visits here.

Martin's passing and the future of TWC Today

October 31, 2015, 01:12:36 PM by jtmal0723

As many of you have heard, unfortunately Martin Cornick had passed away Friday, after having recently celebrating his 24th birthday. He was loved by all who visited both TWC Today and TWC Classics. He was the owner of TWC Today for almost 6 years now. He will be missed.

As for the future of TWC Today, it remains uncertain at this time. Martin has not shared any of the hosting details with anyone so unfortunately there is no possible way to obtain the data at this time. The twctodayforums.com domain name is registered through June 2016, however I am uncertain how long the hosting will be live. I will be in contact with the admins of the forums and we will, together, figure something out. After a respectful mourning period, we will get in to contact with the Cornicks and see if we can get the hosting details so we can move the forums to a new host.

I know most of you don't want to see TWC Today or the forums end, but we will try to do everything we can.

Rest in Peace, Martin Cornick. October 22, 1991 - October 30, 2015. You will be missed.

Slow and laggy

Is anyone else having any problems accessing the forum lately? It's been rather slow and laggy for me today.

Weather in posts?

January 18, 2013, 01:13:15 AM by Eric

Any news about when or whether the weather information will be returning to posts?

Not only was it interesting to see the local weather for every member, but it made it so much easier to find out where each member was posting from.

I understand a forum upgrade took this feature away from us, but I haven't heard any updates recently about whether any progress has been made towards getting it back.

SMF 2.0.2 upgrade complete!...

August 11, 2012, 03:56:04 AM by jtmal0723

Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that within the week, I will be upgrading the forums to the latest 2.0 build, SMF 2.0.2. The upgrade will occur on or about August 16th. I do not have a timetable as of yet. To my knowledge, there are no security exploits for our current version, however, I felt it was necessary to upgrade to the latest version to be as secure as possible. If you guys have any questions, please post them here and I, or a member of the Administration team, can assist you. As always, thank you guys for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy your experience on the TWC Today/TWC Classics Forums!~
