That’s right. It has a search engine now. Woohoo! Few things to note: some pages are dynamic… that is, they are generated when you load them. These include the recommended books, graffiti wall, faq generator to name a few. So if you are looking for something on one of those pages, it won’t show up. That content is generated from a data file when you open the page.

The TM site is now 470+ pages, if you can believe it! ACK!!! Of course, about 270+/- of them are profiles.

Compliments from me to, OpalCat – one of the nicest looking sites I’ve seen.

Hope they pay you well.

Or, failing that, hope you get loads of personal satisfaction knowing you’ve busted your butt for atta-girls from know-nothing techno-peasants who wouldn’t know HTML if it jumped out of their alphabet soup and onto their lazy fat laps.

Like me.

Pay me? Who? The site is purely a hobby and is not offical or anything.

Opal, I agree. Great site! Let’s those of us who are techno-peons (without recourse to a scanner or such) communicate with the world at large (via pictures etc). Bravo! Bravo ::throwing roses::

Sun, her address is listed on the site. I just mailed my picture in. If you include a SASE, she’ll mail it back to you.

ok I filled out the frigging “regulars” survey.I don’t know that you’ll learn anything useful from it. there’s quite a few profiles there with no picture.that’s not OpalCat’s fault.
