    Water skipping, Flagstaff AZ style...

    Today's Forecast Text & Graphic not up yet?

    I got mine via email quite early today (7AM MST!), although the first graphic did say "Updated: 10 am Thursday January 6" {smile} But still no sign of 'em on johndee.com as of 10:56AM MST (12:56AM EST)!?

    Voltage regulators

    Failing voltage regulators seem to be such a common problem with sleds, but strangely not so with automobiles. Voltage regulators seem to be rather uncomplicated gadgets. Are there any automotive or "'lectrical injuneers" here that can "splain" what's so problematic about voltage regulators...

    Server issues now?

    </address> Now that the forum software issue is fixed, now it's the server? In the immortal words of Emily Litella (Saturday Night Live, circa 1975-1980) {smile} <smile>:</smile>

    Thread titles in bold?

    When I use the "New Posts" feature, I typically see several threads with their titles in bold, and after viewing the new posts, on another pass, the ones in which I have already viewed all new posts are no longer bold. That seems to be a useful and reasonable indicator that I have seen all the...

    Discussion board real estate...

    When you open the discussion board, does it share space on the JohnDee.com "Snow Central" Home Page? Does your browser support multiple tabs (At least he latest MSIE and Firefox both do.) Would you prefer to have the message board in its own tab, thus allowing the full width of the screen for...

    Pneumonia?

    A new wrinkle today: "My favorite topics" has suddenly vanished from the Search topic: dropdown list of topics on the Search Board.<hr width=75% size=2>Now it's back again!? Must have been a temporary hiccup!

    Interesting johndee.com statistics

    Not so much an "Ask John" issue, but this seems the best place for an "about the site" item. I just happened across a reference to Quantcast, a site that tracks Internet traffic. See the statistics they have gathered about johndee.com. (Click on the various tabs on that site for more.)...

    Northwoods Directory - redesign?

    (Not a meteorological question, but I see "Ask John" being used for forum design questions as well …) Perhaps the ol' Northwoods Directory could stand a bit of a redesign, much as was done with the N.C.N. page a while ago, with a text only option. Just two instances today may illustrate...
