Shayna, thanks for updating all the pics. There really are some good looking people on these boards. And poohpah, thanks, anyone that calls me a genuine hottie can get cybertongue from me whenever he wants. 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > _waving frantically back at Johnny L.A._ When are we all gonna get together again? There’s talk about a get-together on January 6th, but I’ll be out of town. ☹ But **Melin** made me promise to attend a shindig before I move up to Washington, so we’ll run into each other. Believe me: When I make my move to the Pacific Northwest, _everyone_ will hear about it! Nice pics, BTW. Been staring at **BornDodgy, Geobabe, Hypergirl** (there are so many attractive women on these boards!) and others. And I’m only up to “H”! Now if only I can find one who likes helicopters, filmmaking, and rain… ---

I’m too wiped out to address everyone, but thank you all for your kind replies. I’m glad you’re all enjoying the pages. I do, however, wish to address you, **Boris B**. IANAPWPD (I am not a professional web page designer), so sometimes the issues you brought up either don’t occur to me or I really don’t know how to address them. **techchick** and I had agreed that the dropdown menu would be the better alternative to a long list in a left-hand frame (I HATE frames!), or worse yet, trying to hyperlink every name on the main page. It never occurred to us, however, to simply create a separate page with text only links. Duh! Thank you for suggesting that. (FYI, though, if you’re using the dropdown menu and want to get to a particular person’s name more quickly than scrolling through everyone, just type the first letter of their name in the window. That will jump the menu to the first person whose name begins with that letter, and then you can just use your down arrow on your keyboard to scroll the rest of the way, which will be much shorter.) I was already keeping a text list of all the urls, anyway, so converting them to HTML wasn’t difficult at all. What took forever, though, was finally taking the time to go through every single person’s profile to confirm the capitalization and spacing of their usernames. I hope everyone is correct now. In the process, I found some posters who have changed their names. They’ve now been moved and notations made. (However, **Wicked Blue** , I thought I’d wait for the new pic you said you’d be sending so I could make all the changes to your page at once, so yours isn’t done yet.) I have a few more people who’ve sent new pictures and I’ll try to get to those tomorrow. If anyone else has any suggestions, by all means, let me know. I may not be able to do it, but if I can, I certainly will consider it. Thanks again, everyone, for all your kind words. ---

It never occurred to us, however, to simply create a separate page with text only links. Duh! Thank you for suggesting that. Well thank you for listening. I have a very stubborn keep-it-simple philosophy in web design, mainly because when I try to do anything complex I generally mess it up. So basically I’m a big fan of long plain lists of hyperlinks (I don’t like frames either, which is probably a result of my monitor being so laughably small). > [@](#): > > I was already keeping a text list of all the urls, anyway, so converting them to HTML wasn’t difficult at all. Glad to hear it. I hoped this was the case, and that it might not be too huge a hassle for you to make a text-only list, just for little old me. - tip of the hat \* Forever in your debt, m’lady. > [@](#): > > FYI, though, if you’re using the dropdown menu and want to get to a particular person’s name more quickly than scrolling through everyone, just type the first letter of their name in the window. Well, speaking of Duh!, I can’t believe I didn’t know that. I’ll add it to my repertoire. Thanks for pointing that out. (I’ve only been web surfing since 1994, I haven’t quite gotten the hang of it yet. :eek: ) ---

Yay! Thanks so much **Shayna**. Now, if only I can attend a dopefest and think of 3 more important and interesting things to say, I can be an official doper. 😉 And BTW, **Rasa** , you are incredibly sweet, and now I see that **Oldie** just might have to fight me off (virtually anyway). You’re a total cutie. 😉 ---

I discovered in chat tonight that other people are/were doing that, too, so this is not directed at you personally. I hope you aren’t offended, but I created an index file for that directory now, so you won’t be able to access images that way anymore. If you really don’t like the dropdown menu, there is now a [text only links page](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/links.html) that you can access. I’m sowwy. ☹ ---

Thank you love. People were telling me that my other picture was too dark. And a few wanted to see the dress, so I got a lighter picture and one in my wonderful dress that I made with my own two hands. You are doing a wonderful job! But, I still would love to see you around the boards more often. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! ---

Hey **Shayna** , poor **Alphagene** is misspelled on the text-only page, for which I am still quite grateful. His correctly-spelled name link is still working flawlessly. That’s what I get for clicking on a link to a male’s picture. Back to the women! Yee haw!
