    What's the correct way to report TV captioning problems?

    I've noticed that Nickelodeon and certain other channels around here have had this problem where the captions can be as far behind as 8 seconds, and I don't know how to bring this to their attention. (I use CC because I have auditory processing problems.) Any ideas on what to do?

    1000 Posts!

    So, um, does this make me a "postwhore"? :Ohno: Seriously, this forum is fun, especially when I get bored. The community here is (mostly) great, but no community is perfect. The most fun comes from areas of the board that have nothing to do with CI's (once I realized how much fun the rest of...

    My first vector drawing -- Samantha Manson fan art!

    Well, I tried to draw my favorite cartoon character, the very beautiful Sam Manson, from scratch using Inkscape, a vector graphics illustrator for Linux. I'm pleased with how beautifully it turned out. (Yes, this is the girl in my avatar pic. No, I'm not gay... :P ) My fiancee loved this, so...

    Anybody here like Keith Wann?

    I found these funny videos at http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=watching+two+worlds+collide Keith Wann is a CODA ASL comedian. He does skits about growing up hearing with Deaf parents. Unfortunately, these videos are voice interpreted for the sign-language-impaired. :( But those of us...

    Parents are divorced, mom's bf won't accept me or my gf

    My parents are divorced, I live with my mom, and she had her boyfriend move in about a year and a half ago.

    Awesome place--I actually feel welcome here!

    I stumbled upon this site when looking for info about Deaf Culture. I want to help my Deaf fiancee not feel forced to be in Hearing Culture. I myself feel like a refugee from the Hearing Culture--I am autistic, and hearing autistics feel uncomfortable in the Hearing World due to the LOUD NOISE...
