<![CDATA[Forum Information & Help Latest Topics]]>https://www.americanwx.com/bb/forum/16-forum-information-help/enTwitter linkshttps://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/62696-twitter-links/ Seriously, can we get out of the stone age and allow “x” links so we don’t need to change them to twitter for them to embed? I know this is possible because there are other invision forums that have updated to allow this.

Has there been any chatter of upgrading the boards to Invision Community 5? A lot of new features that I think the users would love to have and maybe get some of the guest users to create accounts.

John Burns

Hello everyone. I am writing with sad news. My father, John Burns, who you know as your moderator jburns, passed away on Monday at the age of 77 after a battle with cancer that returned after he beat lymphoma in 2020. AmericanWX was really important to him, and I know he considered many of you to be friends. He became highly involved on this site after he suffered a heart attack about 15 years ago, and this became a key outlet for him and his love and impressive amateur knowledge of meteorology.

Whenever there was going to be a storm in North Carolina, I had two sources to check: WRAL and my Dad. I remember him texting me before an ice storm was expected to hit Raleigh. No "hello," no "how are you."  Just:  "get a damn generator." He was absolutely never happier than when a snowstorm actually hit. He was known to drive hundreds of miles just to get into a blizzard. 

Thank you to all of you who made his later years fun and engaging. He loved it here. He loved arguing, he loved the weather, and he LOVED the ban hammer.

John D. Burns
Son of jburns

Raleigh, NC

The fee was charged to my credit card, but so far, I have not reaped the benefits. For instance, my upload space hasn't changed, and I never received a confirmation email or anything else indicating a change. Could someone look into this, or is it still processing? Thanks.

I don’t see the location on my phone any more, which is unfortunate for when a poster says “4 inches of snow here” or “ it was 1 degree imby this morning”. 
 

is there a setting or something I need to edit to see poster locations on my iPhone?

About a week ago I posted about NOAA's Blobtracker Web site in the New England forum, and it was removed. I get that - off topic or wrong forum, no problem. But a foliage photo from my backyard in Vermont?

Just curious....

Some attachments will load fully while others only load partially like this. Refreshing the page doesn’t solve the issue either. Is anyone else having this problem?

I've searched the site high and low and can't find anything to control the screen resolution here. My cat stepped on my keyboard and now I can barely read anything as the resolution shot up making everything here so tiny. This is happening ONLY on this website as the rest of my computer is normal. Would appreciate any help, thank you.

Most of what I want to show is weather research, and I have been posting links, but I think it could be better if there was space to post here directly, plus it would be stored on the board. 

Just a request. Not a big deal if you don't have the space to give me more space.

Hi all,

 

Is anyone else having issues viewing the forum on the web? It won’t open on chrome or safari, it is forcing me to use Tapatalk. The option to open a thread in chrome or safari is greyed out.

 

Thanks
