That's what I was starting to think too. I looked back at my recordings from that morning, and while the tab bar appeared at 5:08, the Severe Thunderstorm Watch tab did not (even though it was still effective for another hour). Perhaps this is something that should be mentioned to the STAR Team?

This occurred during Severe T'Storm Watch 53. This can also pose as a safety risk, since some people may tune into TWC half-way through the Local forecast, and may not be notified of the watch.
Whoops, wrong WW number.

Post by: TWC STAR Team on April 12, 2010, 10:37:07 AM: Are the tabs outside of the Local effected? Or just during the Local?
Title: Re: LDL Tab Bar Error
Post by: jtmal0723 on April 12, 2010, 10:52:11 AM: It seems as only during the local forecast as that's the only spot the old blue bar LDL is used.

It only happens during the local forecast.

I haven't had any contact with 22842 since the start of Spring Break, so thanks for clearing that up Curt :biggrin:

Yes, I saw the problem once on 22689 aswell, but it appears to be gone.

Post by: Tyler on April 25, 2010, 01:01:21 PM: The issue has been fixed, however I noticed another issue. The lightning bolt will disappear after the first time the watch shows.

Post by: wxntrafficfan on May 02, 2010, 10:19:33 AM: Odd how the tornado icon is on the tab before it scrolls to the left following the ad crawl, but it disappears as soon as it scrolls to the left.

When the icon disappears the "spark" is shown!
It's been like that since June 2, 2008 IIRC with the flare. :whistling:
