Hello old friend! Nice to have you back! Welcome back to AV! We had to re-create the forum from scratch so we'll be adding of course to the forum structure as time goes on. Please bare with us! In the meantime talk weather as usual and enjoy the new forum! If you have questions, we'll try and answer as best we can, but this is all new to us too! :lol:

Unfortunately, when phpBB moved on from the modification system to plugins, that sealed the fate of the old board. It was a matter of when, not if. It was so heavily modified, there was really no path forward, which is why it was stuck so far back in time. On the upside, the forum version just went from about 7 years out of date to current :D It was already a major version behind when I "retired" as an admin and all things tech due to my actual job.

You should probably start a thread with the link and re-pin the spotter training, especially since that's probably the most pressing item at this point.

Glad to see the forum back up and running! Thank goodness it didn’t go down in the middle of our snowstorms!

I didn't do much - you guys did pretty well on getting it back up! But I'm always just an FB message away if you guys get stuck.

Okay folks... We've got a good slug of rain coming in for Sat night and Sun especially. An inch plus is possible at CVG so we'll see what happens there. Less as you go north more as you go south. Mild too this weekend.. 50s / L60s possible. Then, we'll see what happens next week as we try and get one last cool shot of air towards the end of next week / next weekend. Then probably on to spring.

Thanks to all! Glad we're back! We'll make it our new home for the same old great weather discussions you've all come to know and love. We'll never forget the old dog and we'll make new memories here! 8-)

So does this mean we might be compatible with tapatalk again?

It might be a better idea to find a responsive theme. That way you don't have to rely on Tapatalk. A responsive theme would adjust the forum setup for mobile browsers, and then you don't need a separate app. Just an idea.

I rarely post but visit this forum often and appreciate everyone's knowledge and love of weather. I'm so glad that this forum exists, so a big thank you to those that take the time and effort to make this happen!

Aaron... thanks for the suggestion. We'll all need to get together and talk about it to see what we can do. I know a lot of people like to use their phones, me too when I'm on vacation so I can post easier lol We'll make something happen. It's on the TO DO list.
