• 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.

Help! I’ve killed my site www.pdswatch.com

I was uploading image files for a link via ftp, and after I edited the link and refreshed, it was blank. My site is setup in Wordpress. I’m hoping some one knows a little about this. Can I reinstall Wordpress over my current installation? Would that overwrite my Blog entries? I can redo most everything (don’t want to), but I don’t want to lose my content.

Thanks,
 
Kurt, all of your blog entries are kept in the mysql database on your site for word press. Retrieve a backup of that through your control panel before you do anything else so you don't loose them. I don't know much about wordpress beyond that, maybe someone else knows what you accidentally did, but I do know saving the backup of the mysql will save your entries. Then you have nothing really to lose other than any customizations you did. I would THINK it should pick up whatever was in the database, so long as you used all the same settings etc.
 
Well I screwed around most of the night and again this morning and finally have most of my site back in operation. I still need to tweak my gallery and forecast pages, but that is minor (ya right). Anyway thanks for the tip on the DB David. Once I backed that and my public_html folder up I was free to slice and dice as I wanted, and then copied the old files back in as I needed them. It’s a good lesson to all; BACKUP your site frequently! I know I’ll do it for at least a week, and then slide back into my old habits. Anyway if anybody needs help with Wordpress, I know enough to be dangerous now.
