I understand there are **people pages** connected to Straight Dope, with cool stuff about the regulars and pictures and the like, but I have no idea where to look for these. I guess they’re not officially connected to Straight Dope; they’re probably more of a grass-rootsy kind of thing.

Does anyone have a link? I’d also be curious to know how one goes about setting one up. Thanks.

Here is one site: [http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/)

This is the photo-only pages that were put together recently by Shayna, Techchick, and Tatertot.

I’ve put off and put off posting this, for fear that something stupid I was doing would be gratuitously pointed out to me in a less than kind fashion, but… what the hell.

I’ve been to the People Page several times, once a week or so since I joined the board, and for the life of me I cannot get the individual photos of posters to load. I go in, click on an individual, hit “GO,” and invariably it takes me back to the main screen introducing the page (the text against the yellow background). I can enter and view the various photo “albums” from the Dopefests, though.

Is there something I’m missing, is my  
cheap-ass Webtv incapable of working on this portion of the site, what?

Someone gratuitously point away, please.

Sir

Shayna has added a second way to get into it.  
Maybe you’ll have better luck with the

\*\*Alternate links to individual pages :  
\*\* [http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/links.html](http://www.geocities.com/sdpeoplepages/links.html) \*\*

(One other thought: Be sure you don’t have Show Pictures turned off in your browser option page.)

Show…Biz,

I tried the link you kindly provided, but after several tries I still get a message telling me something to the effect: “[Geocities.com](http://Geocities.com) does not respond to your request for information.”

I have my immediate family working on a translation of “Show Pictures in Browser Option Page” for me.

I’ll get it eventually.

Thanks again,

Sir Luddite
