If you have not created a user profile on this website, now is a good time, because there is some awesome stuff!

Shoutbox:

This shoutbox allows users to leave shout-outs with smiley faces! Leave comments, suggestions, or even have a conversation over the shoutbox! There is NO refreshing required with it, it automatically updates itself!

Who Is Online:

At the bottom of the page, it will tell you how many people are online. it is seperated into ‘Guests’ and ‘Members’

Live Radar:

I know I have mentioned this before, but I find it so cool that I just have to say it again =)

And here comes the big one……

User Forum!

There is now a user forum! This forum is COMPLETELY integrated with this website, so if you have an account on here and log in, it automatically logs you into the forum as well. If you create a new account, it is automatically integrated to the forum. Seamless and powerful! The point is for user discussions on blog updates, or other weather going on. From education to severe weather, this forum if for your discussion! The sidebar also contains a recent post list for the forum.

Blog posts are automatically posted in the forum, and if you comment on it, it creates a post in the forum. Also, it works the other way around. If you make a post in the forum, it makes a comment! PLEASE use these features!

I hope these features are enjoyed!

Post Ratings:

There is also a post rating system, that uses tornado icons and the EF-Scale

LIVE radar! http://tempestchasing.com/21/09/2009/other/site-updates/new-feature-live-radar/ http://tempestchasing.com/21/09/2009/other/site-updates/new-feature-live-radar/#comments Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:19:40 +0000 Kelton Halbert http://tempestchasing.com/?p=303 New Feature! This website is now streaming LIVE GRlevel3 Radar! Current products are Base Reflectivity, Base Velocity, and Storm Relative Velocity. I will say, this is still quite bugged right now.. but it is a work in progress. It is having trouble updating, so at this moment radar images may (or may not) be old or out of date. I am still working on this, but go ahead and click on the ‘Live GR3 Radar’ tab to see what I am talking about! Live comments and ideas below!
