I was a registered member at the time of the last storm but was locked out during it. Was wondering why.

We had some technical problems that should be taken care of now.  Apologies for the problems it caused.

What does that even mean that JB is trying to say? I thought the GEFS was supposed to help figure out if the OP was on to a solution or not.

Good deal.  Hopefully everyone's tapatalk issues are sorted out.  If not, try to log in to the actual website first and then back in on your phones. :)

Thanks Shawn, I thought it might be something like that. I do realize ya'll had just got the site up and running well just before that.
 
Some copy cat of me over @ AW going by "Timothy Clyde". I hope they ban his ***. They (the mods&admin) know it's not me or they would have banned that account already. Who the hell makes up a name like that anyways? I must be famous or something to have these fan boys.

Yep he is trouble. He apparently tried to get GSP's best forecaster in trouble because he didn't like the AFD she wrote.

Good grief. Some of these people out there...  :s
 
Any idea why I can't see the last several posts in linear mode in the January thread? I'm on a iPad and it just started happening.
 
Well, after a break from the last storm I am starting to follow things again. The models were way off here with the amount of snow they were showing for here, but it was still a decent storm. Not sure I will be as active as I used to be because they are cracking down on people using the Internet at work. Been there 14 years and never had a problem getting my work done. Not my fault my brain works differently and I am smart enough to actually get my work done and can read something online at the same time. Funny thing is my manager used to ask me for updates whenever there is a potential winter storm. It's silly how some see using the Internet at work as wasting time worse than others who take smoke breaks all day or walk around and chat all day long

I have but a very few rules in my office - you must be clothed appropriately for a professional environment, you must say "Yes Sir/Mam" and "No Sir/Mam" to all outsiders, and no eating at the desk. I don't care if you get the work done standing on your head, with the internet going or earbuds blasting (if the clients can't hear it!) - so long as the work gets done correctly, efficiently, and timely, and most importantly that it's professionally done going out the door.
 
This is a test post.

Test post is received. Delete if you want.

Works but is there a way to get the most recent at the top rather than the bottom of the page?

I don't think this software would work that way.  Posts are usually loaded top to bottom on most forum/discussion software.

Understand - but when I click the link for "Most Recent" it takes me instead to the very 1st page of the thread - not the most recent post I want to read in the thread. Then I have to go to the last page of the thread and then scroll all the way to the bottom. I'm sure it's on my end but it works that way in Firefox and Safari   ?????????

Oh yeah!  That bugs the crap out of me too!  I will look into it!
 
Okay guys. The server move was successful. Please let us know if there is still an issue with posts showing up!

I'm with you as long as the work is completed timely, who cares?! My guess is someone complained usually how these things work. Office politics and Office snitches...

Try now! I think I may have fixed it.
 
Can we get a link at the bottom of a thread page that will take us back to the General Weather page instead of having to click the back arrow or scroll back to the top? The old format used to have this. Thanks!

Okay, I will be configuring a change that will put a "return to top" button next to the post options like "edit, reply" etc.
 
Okay, the button for "Return to top" has been added.

Still some bugs on mobile, it seems to me!?

Tapatalk or the mobile theme will not have the buttons as they are trimmed down versions of the website to save mobile data.

Are you talking about another bug with the mobile theme on m.southernwx.com?
 
Hey guys for some reason I haven't been able to upload my profile picture for the last few days. Can't do it from Tapatalk or the regular site. I'm using my iPad which worked fine before but not no more.

Ok I was able to do it on the regular site but not Tapatalk. Unfortunately doing it from Tapatalk would make it so my picture is not sideways but every time I try it from there it say download failed.

Well, I see that people are posting in the Winter thread by looking at the general weather page. However, the last post I can see is from two hours ago...last post feature has also stopped working. This seems to happen a couple of times per day for about an hour and then it seems to fix itself.

that's odd , we will keep looking into it. It has to be an account issue . if it was a board issue everyone would be having the same issues
