			<description><![CDATA[Harry what was that about tonight?  Someone hacked the site ... no clue why anyone would do that ... I mean it is a weather site ... please????<br />
<br />
I do have a question ... when someone hacks into your or really any site and I log on while the hack is occurring is there any concern they can link to my computer?  I don't know the first thing about hacking and I get concerned when stuff like that happened (this was my first time that I know of being online with a known hack attack).  So I am wondering if I need to be concerned when I logged into a site that is being hacked???  Anyone know?]]></description>

This was done to combat the spam bots who love to register on forums and spam their websites ( including porn which is a no no ) via the sig and never to return. <br />
<br />
Anyways after all makes a post your sig will show again. Sorry for the bother.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Guy's and gal's i have been looking around and well what i see is heartbreaking. Basically what i see is new places up and coming while we sit in stagnet mode. <img src="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Sad" title="Sad" /><br />
<br />
I have been doing everything i can think of to change that by submitting the site to the search engines, new designs and layouts including the new homepage and have adjusted the forums over time and ofcourse expanded the arcade. Well nothing seems to be working. <br />
<br />
I need some ideas on how to jumpstart this place. I dont care what it is ( well almost <img src="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/images/smilies/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Tongue" title="Tongue" /> ) as long as you think it will help to get more people here and posting. Think we should have regional forums then say it. Think we need more seasonal forums ( tropical/winter wx/ severe wx ) then again say so. Want more features again say so. Dont like the way the place is moderated/ran say so. Want a chatroom say so. It doesnt matter what it is. If you think it will help then say so. <img src="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br />

<br />
I love what i am doing here but this stings a bit and tell's me something needs to change. And please even if you dont have a idea atleast post to say all is fine. I wana hear from everyone.

			<description><![CDATA[Lets start with the new theme. It is called MyWx and it is a dark theme which replaces the old dark one we had called Wx2Dark. I still have to update the homepage/portal though. <br />
<br />
Next. I updated the Afresh Flame theme and this is our tropical lovers theme. <br />
Basically have started to redo the homepage/portal of this theme and thus have added a new toy you guys will love and a few opther things. It is still not totally complete YET. <br />
<br />
As all may be noticing i am doing seasonal themes and each and every one will be done so all the latest info related to that season can be easy to find. <br />
<br />
What we have. Our MAIN themes. <br />
Winter1/Afresh Midnight: Our winter theme which features all winter related weather info on the homepage/portal. <br />
<br />
Afresh Orange: This is our theme which is geared for the severe wx lovers and thus features severe weather related info on the portal/homepage.<br />
*Note* The New Dark theme " MyWx * will as well be geared for severe wx and may add some Tropical stuff as well. <br />
<br />
Afresh Flame: Have already mentioned this above. Our Tropical lovers theme with Tropical related info on the Homepage/Portal. <br />
<br />
Those themes above will be the defualt themes we will be using DEPENDING on the season. Come June 1st the Tropical Theme will be the default theme and thus those who still wish to use one of the others you can go to the bottom right of the forum to the Quick Theme menu and switch to something else. Yes i aim to please!!! <img src="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/images/smilies/weight_lift.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="weight_lift" title="weight_lift" /><br />
<br />
IF you would like to see something added ( Weather info related )  to ANY of the themes do let me know and i will see what i can do. <br />
<br />
As mentioned in a earlier thread i have been uploading a ton of games to our Arcade. We now have over 210 games and thus now boast one of the biggest collection of games on any of the weather forums! <img src="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Biggrin" title="Biggrin" /><br />
Do note that ONLY REGISTERED USERS can play and you MUST BE logged in to play. <br />
<br />
<br />
Have any feedback then please feel free to share it here! <img src="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="vertical-align: middle;" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><br />

<br />
Evidently after the upgrade a few accounts have gotten screwed up from what i have been told. I *Believe* it has to do with the themes. I have removed a number of the old themes and only updated a couple of them. The rest except one i wont be bringing back. But anyways it seems to have caused some issues with a few peoples accounts here. What i do know ( Unsure if this was related ) is there was a bug in the software but to my knowledge it hasnt affected us like it has a few other forums. A few lost all of their settings. It has been sence fixed in a update that i did last night BUT still a few may still have to manually fix the settings. I am checking all. Only seems to be issues with the accounts here BUT AGAIN if something is not working PLEASE REPORT IT and again you can email me. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[I am sure al is wondering how this or that works or why something is different. <br />
<br />
1. As mentioned in other threads the Quick Reply now uses AJAX which means that when you hit submit it will instantly load your reply without a page refresh.<br />
<br />
That ajax stuff has been as well added to the forum marking system. The little icons on the left side of the forums listing is where you click to mark the forum as read. <br />
It has as well been added to the log in. <br />
Also Quick edit uses the same ajax as well. Remember as well that you can edit your thread titles from the forum display as well. To do so go to your thread and click and hold over top of the title. It will turn into a box that allows you to edit it. Once you type in the new info you want click again and it is edited. <br />
<br />
You as well now have the ability to block users posts that you dont wish to see.  This is done thru User CP. Once there look on the left down to " Miscellaneous " and then you will see the " Buddy/Ignore List ". You can as well add/have a buddy list which this is where you would go as well to add your buddies. <br />
Do note that you will block BOTH Posts and PM's from the users you wish to block. <br />
<br />
Next is the thread view options. If you like the OLD look prior to the upgrade you can go to User CP-----&gt;Edit Options and once on that page look on the right for " Thread View Options ". The first option is "Display posts in classic mode " . This is where you can switch back to the old look by putting a check in the box. <br />
<br />
ALSO VERY IMPORTANT. I wish they had not done this with the upgrade but anyways. While your in the Edit Options page. IF your getting emails about threads and dont want the email then look for " Messaging and Notification " and then look for Default Thread subscription Mode. It is there that you can shut it of and stop the emails. I noticed mine was turned on after the upgrade and why i mention this incase it happend to anyone else. <br />
<br />
Let me know what you all think about the thread rating thing. You can rate threads from the main forum by clicking on the stars on the thread you wanna vote for OR you can do the same inside the thread at the top of it. <br />
<br />
A *Couple* of things i have turned off at the moment that is probably noticable. One if the thread descriptions. This should be back on either tonight or in the next day or so. The other is the thing which shows who is viewing a thread inside the thread. Again give it a day or so. <br />
The same applies for the YouTube stuff. <br />
The Arcade may be down for a bit longer. This all depends on how long it takes to get the bugs out of the new Arcade system. I have applied to be a beta tester to help find the bugs. <br />
<br />
I will add our links back to the top of the forum once the arcade is done up and installed. <br />
<br />
Our themes we had that will be making a comeback is the Wx themes. As mentioned before i am working on a couple of new ones as well. Look for them in the coming days and weeks. Still a ton of updating to do to our ones we had. <br />
The afresh midnight will be set as our universal theme for guests etc for now. AGAIN if you wanna switch them there is a new option to do so at the bottom Right side of the board. <br />
<br />
In the next day or so i will go over how our New Warning system will work. <br />
<br />
If you see a bug PLEASE report it ASAP. Can report it to this thread. <br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I am sure al is wondering how this or that works or why something is different. <br />
<br />
1. As mentioned in other threads the Quick Reply now uses AJAX which means that when you hit submit it will instantly load your reply without a page refresh.<br />
<br />
That ajax stuff has been as well added to the forum marking system. The little icons on the left side of the forums listing is where you click to mark the forum as read. <br />
It has as well been added to the log in. <br />
Also Quick edit uses the same ajax as well. Remember as well that you can edit your thread titles from the forum display as well. To do so go to your thread and click and hold over top of the title. It will turn into a box that allows you to edit it. Once you type in the new info you want click again and it is edited. <br />
<br />
You as well now have the ability to block users posts that you dont wish to see.  This is done thru User CP. Once there look on the left down to " Miscellaneous " and then you will see the " Buddy/Ignore List ". You can as well add/have a buddy list which this is where you would go as well to add your buddies. <br />
Do note that you will block BOTH Posts and PM's from the users you wish to block. <br />
<br />
Next is the thread view options. If you like the OLD look prior to the upgrade you can go to User CP-----&gt;Edit Options and once on that page look on the right for " Thread View Options ".

Unsure of how long the upgrade will take. May take a hour or longer. Hard to say with this sort of thing.  I'll post a update on the test site if something does go wrong. <br />

			<description><![CDATA[Well the much talked about upgrade is almost here. We have been beta testing the newer system here on the site. Also been messing with the looks/themes as well. <br />
<br />
With the new system comes new stuff. <br />
<br />
1. Ajax quick reply. Simply means that when you use quick reply and submit your post is instantly posted. basically works the same way as quick edit. <br />
2. A newer and improved User CP and as well the ability now to ignore posts by people you dont care for. That is done via the newer buddy list system. This as well will block all PM's from those who you dont care for EXCEPT from staff. <br />
3. A newer look in forum display and when your browsing a thread. IF you prefer the old look ( current here ) you can switch to classic post view via User CP/Options. <br />
4. A newer editor has been added. By that i mean the part where you add links, different fonts etc to your posts. <br />
5. For the staff a Mod CP. This will give all mods the ability to ban trouble and as well do forum tasks alot easier. <br />
6. A Forum warning system has been added. If your not sure of what this is see Stormvista and or Eastern and look under your warn log. Basically same sort of system has been added here. At a later date i'll announce how this will exactly work. <br />
<br />
Anyways to give it a test run yourself feel free to visit our test site. <br />
<a href="http://www.uswxforums.com/forum/index.php" target="_blank">http://www.uswxforums.com/forum/index.php</a><br />
<br />
Yes you will have to register as that is not in anyway connected to this board. Due note though that will be there just for testing purposes. Thus it is advised to keep all weather related posts here on this forum. <br />
Also if you find a bug please report it to the bug forum. remember it is beta and so there may be some bugs. <br />
<br />
Once gold/final is out and i have all themes updated and am certain all bugs have been killed we will then upgrade this board. This looks to happen in the next couple of weeks barring any unforseen issues. There is a chance i may be gone for a while. This is out of my control but not in cement either. I'll keep all posted up to when this may happen. IF this does happen then there is a chance the upgrade could be delayed unless Bryan is able to do it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First off i wanna mention a few things that have been added!<br />
<br />
1st is our new member map. One of which you can add your location to it yourself. DEPENDING on what theme your using the link to it is under Weather which in most cases is at the top of the board. Click it and a drop down menu will appear with a link to it. IF the theme your using doesnt ave that then the url is <a href="http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/usermap.php" target="_blank">http://www.uswxforums.com/bb/usermap.php</a><br />
<br />
2. I have done up 2 more themes. One i mentioned which has green theme/look to it and it includes new Icons fitting for the warmer season. The name of it is Weather. <br />
The other one i just finished up is called Storm. This is a outdoor type theme with blue ( sky ) and green. This as well has new Icons on the main index page which are fitting for the warmer season as well. Both have new buttons for New Reply and New Topic which were made by me. <br />
<br />
I have done some touch up work in including a fix for the gloss theme which was having issues on the firefox browser. All should look better now. Everything had shifted over to the left but is now centered again. <br />
<br />
<br />
Coming soon. <br />
I will be redoing the arcade. In the next day or so. This is being done so more games can be added which the newer version allows. May do this in the next couple of days or so. <br />
I as well have not forgotten about the homepage either. This as well will see some changes done in the next few weeks or so. <br />
<br />
Also by July 1st the new version of the forum system itself which i mentioned back in the winter will be out. I will do the upgrade when time is available. May not be till the end of summer before i get to that. Main reason is i would rather avoid downtime during the cane season. Plus i will have to redo the themes. Mainly touch up work. <br />
<br />
Eventually i may get rid of the Vision and neonbloo themes. Nobody is using either one. Basically just taking up space on the server. Oh and i will probably do up a fall and a new winter theme.<br />
<br />
Well thats it for now. <br />

<br />
A few things have been added. <br />
1. Reputation system. Users can give eachother reputation and leave comments to eachother. <br />
<br />
2. New Links added.<br />
The Weather Links is a dropdown menu with links to the NHC, SPC and to get your local forecast. <br />
Models is a few links to view the models. In the near future *just in time for the Hurricane season * a model map link / section will be added. As well a tropical wx center here on uswxforums! <br />
At some point in the near future a onsite model section will be added. I'll have a complete update on this at a later time. <br />
Other links will be getting added as well. <br />
<br />
Do NOTE that the *new* links are NOT added to the Lagniappe and neonblooDarkTheme themes YET. ALL the rest of the themes now have them. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />
