Lots of Changes (and some NEW stuff) on The People Pages

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Hi everybody!

I’ve made a number of changes, corrections and additions to The People Pages. First, I’m still in the process of verifying and correcting miscapitalized names - please bear with me.

In addition, for the first 92 people (so far), plus a few throughout the rest of the list (particularly the newest additions), you can now click on their picture and get their Straight Dope profile page! I will continue to update the rest as I have time until they are all done.

I’ve deleted a couple of people (one who sent her picture but never registered [at least she doesn’t seem to actually exist here does anyone know Elke, or whether that’s her real name but she posts under a different handle?] and one who was banned). I’ve also moved some people around. Persephone is now Persephone only and is placed in the “Ps” instead of the “Cs” for her former name, and Peta Tzunami & pldennison now each have their own pages (even though the pic is the same on both). Some people were out of order, so they’re now rearranged. Others may still need to be done - I’ll get to them as I can.

It appears as though the poster formerly known as Fonzarelli has changed his username. Anyone know what it is now? I’d like to correct that, as well.

Now for the NEW stuff…

Added are:

Pipeliner and Tommy the Cat (Welcome aboard!)

Updated with a new pic is Bluemonchichi

I have also added 4 new Group Gathering links in the past week (2 of them yesterday).

From Esprix’s old thread:

Only the 3 mentioned above. The rest are yours to do when they come in. I just got motivated this weekend, is all. :smiley:

vanilla (and anyone else interested): email pictures to SDPeoplePages@yahoo.com

And one final note, I’d like to thank everyone who has signed the guestbook. It’s really fun to go in and find new feedback in there and (I’m sure I can speak for techchick) we really, really appreciate all the nice compliments. You guys are the best!

Glad to hear it’s still growing strong.

Fonzarelli is my real name and email name, so I never bothered to correct you before.
As I’ve said before, Good work all around! :cool:

3

I’m very sorry I got your name wrong! My bad :frowning: It is now corrected throughout, though.

However, that means you’ll have to update your sig because the URL is now fonz.html instead of fonzarelli.html (I’m trying to keep the file names consistent with the usernames).

Anyone else who has their picture linked in their sig line should probably check to see if it’s still a good link, too. I haven’t changed very many, but in some cases, for example, Girlbysea, I’ve found spacing errors which has caused changes in the url by removing or adding the underscores that represent those spaces. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

I’m already back in sync. Thanks!

You’re very welcome! :slight_smile:

Shayna,
Fell free to include a link to the pics I posted from The Balto/Dc Halloween dopefest.

I just downloaded three more pics, one person of which wants both pictures uploaded.

I prefer to work with a batch of 7 or more at a time because of my crappy internet connection. It’s easier for me to upload several pics than a few – oddly enough.

Anyhow, send some more in people!

Shayna! Techchick! 2 of my FAVOURITE ladies :slight_smile:

Would it be possible for my username change to be amended on the Peoplepages?

I’ll wuv the both of you if you can do it!

You should put one of Slug’s turkey-in-a-mortarboard drawings of Cecil on the People Pages. :smiley:

10

Shayna, I giddily await my addition to your page.

I think Falcon was going to send my pic for me.

techchick,
Ummmm…if I’m the one that you refer to with having two pics, sorry if it caused issues. I was just asking, you don’t hafta if you don’t wanna!

I’m too new to cause issues!

:smiley:

12

You know, I keep forgetting to send mine in. So Shayna, do you think it whould be the one of me in my technicolor tux, or one where I’m not drunk and look normal?

13

Shayna, you rock!

Elke is the poster formerly known as Black12. I think she stopped posting - I sent her an email a while back and she didn’t respond, so you are probably safe in removing her.

Does anyone know what happened to her? She is/was really nifty.

14

Nymysys,

No problem. Where I have a problem is when people want more than two pics or send a collage (is that spelled right) because in order to fit those on the page and not have a huge download time I still have to shrink them to a manageable size.

Also, sometimes the end result makes or breaks whether or not I feel comfortable with adding it to the page. Sometimes I need to crop the photos so we can get a realistic view of who the person is…I want you all looking your best!

15

magdalene, I do believe you have uncovered the mystery (and therefore, you also rock!)!! I did a search for Black12 and every result had no replies by that username, but, the one common username was (TaDa!) Sea Sloth. Therefore, I believe that Elke = Black12 = Sea Sloth. Can anyone verify this? If that is indeed the case, she’s actively posting as of yesterday, so I’ll gladly reinstate her picture on the pages under the proper username. And Sea Sloth, if you’re reading this, is this you?

Twistycakes, love, honeybun, I will GLADLY correct your name. You were on my list to fix anyway, but I just hadn’t gotten to it yet. I will do yours next, before anyone else’s. :smiley:

weirddave, thank you for the link to those pics (y’all looked like you had a blast, btw. Wish I could’ve been there!) I will include that link in the next batch of updates. I’ve also gotten the one monster linked in the other thread that’s now closed, as well as 3 more Dallas Dopefests to include, as well.

Gunslinger, I’m not sure where to look for one of those pics, but if you can provide a link, I’ll gladly ask permission to put it on the pages. :slight_smile:

Homer, indeed, one of the pics that tc downloaded yesterday was yours from Falcon, so you’ll be in the next batch.

Nymysys, we’ll gladly put 2 pics up for you. There are a few others who have 2 pics up as well, so it’s not a problem at all.

Crunchy, I don’t recall if I’ve seen any pictures of you other than the funky jacket one (which I happen to like just fine). Submit both and I’ll see which one I like better in a side-by-side comparison, k hon? And you know me, I’ll be honest. :wink:

techie, there are 4 more pictures waiting in the email for you to download and work on so I can create the pages for them. Yippee!

Now I’m off to go fix Twister and work on the group gathering links. TTFN…

16

I just got my cat fixed. I hope we’re not talking about the same thing.

17

I can think of a few things I’d rather do with Twisty’s anatomy down there than what you had done to your kitty. Hehehe :wink:

And Twisteroni, you are now “fixed” :smiley:

I have also added the following Group Gathering pages:

[ul]
[li]Norfolk Doperfest[/li][li]An Irishman invades Dallas[/li][li]Dallas Dopers attend Hawkwood[/li][li]Dallas Dopers Do Goldfingers[/li][li]Denver Mini Dopefest 2[/li][li]Baltimore/DC Halloween Dopefest[/li][/ul]

Keep those cards and letters coming, folks. :slight_smile:

Hi Shayna, hugs

I searched for this thread so I could look up a pic for my Secret Santa person, and I thought others might like to do the same, so-

BUMP!

What format should a picture be that is sent to you? I have a ton I can work with now and I actually want to get one in (I have spent far too long depriving you people of my lovely visage.)

20

I’m kinda an less-than-prolific poster but I sent off a pic of myself and lil Bady Kate. Let me know if it’s in the format you want.
