• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

The main Stormtrack radar image is missing.

This URL (http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/images/buttons/reply.gif ) is presenting this image:
reply.gif
which (i believe is incorrect).

Also, this image URL (http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/images/statusicon/user_online.gif) is 600x550 pixels wide) resulting in this:
ST_what_the_heck.png



Since the image is white text on a transparent GIF you need to view it against a dark background to see the SD town names: http://www.tmcalda.com/images/st_problem.html

The "thread moved" image is also screwed up:
thread_moved.gif


The "who's online" image is also screwed up:
whos_online.gif


Either the server is being hacked or somebody who doesn't know what the heck they are doing is renaming images that the board uses.

Even if this event is NOT hacking, this board software and version number does have vulnerabilities and should be upgraded ASAP.

The problems have been fixed, but there WERE real problems. A wrong image displaying when you call its URL directly is not a browser compatibility problem. If nobody wants to own up to it, that's fine by me.

And the board version-number vulnerability problem remains.
 
i've had problems on the site today....i have been getting "security token missing" messages when following valid links. site said to contact administrator, so i followed that link and got an error message. hope mods/admin got my message so they will be aware of situation.

I have seen that problem twice today but I feel like it's a bad time for them to upgrade to 3.8.1. I would wait for 4.0 next month:D
 
Yeah, I had a problem yesterday trying to post video in the post storm discussion forum for 3/23/09. I will try it again and see if it works out.
