Just a heads up-I'll be posting some new videos to YouTube tomorrow. Also, the site should be completed tomorrow as well.  :biggrin:

On a seperate note, I've added a mod that allows you to ignore boards, if you wish not to see them. Right now only the boards in the general discussion, weather, and WxStar Jr. sections are ignorable. I will add others if I get requests to do so.
How about the Weatherscan Emulator subforums? Activity seems to have been relatively slow over the past month or so.

No. Its still an active project that is ongoing, so I will not allow for it to be ignored.

I have decided to once again hide some boards from guests. The boards being hidden are all in the Weather Channel 2000-Present section of the forum. I'm taking this action because recently a TWCC member has been viewing our board as a guest (and in turn bragging about it on TWCC-smart move!) and then going back to TWCC and posting news topics found here. After the events of several months ago this is something I will NOT tolerate. I feel no obligation to TWCC, and I will not be their personal news source. If this issue continues, said member will be not only banned, but blocked entirely from our site. As will any other member that attempts this.

I've made a couple of small changes to the forum, having to do with a couple of boards that weren't terribly popular. I have not deleted anything though. I've made the TWC Artist Chat board a subforum of the Local Forecast board, instead of having it as its own board. I've also taken the Severe Weather and Other Weather Discussion boards and combined them into one general weather chat board. The Local obs board remains unchanged.

I have had to expand this, due to the fact that plagairism by TWCC members is continuing. At this point, ALL boards in the 2000-Today section of the forum are no longer viewable by guests.

I am also going to look into finding a way to make it so that TWCC members cannot register under a different username than their TWCC one and go undetected.

big update today! The classic LF video portion of the site is now active! So far I have a few videos in the 4000 section, but more are forthcoming!

To get there, simply hover over the Videos portion of the menu bar, and click Local Forecast 82-99.

Hope everyone enjoys this update, and the many to follow!  B)

Just want to let everyone know that I will be going through and deleting all old pages of the site from the server today. All of the pages have been redone, so it doesn't make sense to me to continue to leave all of the old stuff on the server. I suspect that no one is using the old pages for anything, but if you are, let me know.

Added a couple of mods to the forum. First, there is now a field in your profile for your GTalk address, for those who use it (by request of number1twcfan). I also installed a mod that shows your member # in the profile to the left of each post. It's just like the member # field on an IPB forum.  B)

The YouTube mod is still here. But it got screwed up when I updated to the latest version of the forum software, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to unscrew it.

As for the join date mod, I'll have to look into that. Not sure what's up with it.  :thinking:

Good news! The date registered mod is back! Turns out, I just had to install the latest version, since the version already installed was not compatible with the new forum version.  :biggrin:
