I’ve bookmarked the site and now have it in favorites. More than once, when I’ve wanted to go in and look at the updated list, it sends me off to all kinds of strange sites. I even had one for a needlepoint website. I go back and an entirely different site comes up.

It acts is if after my x-visit, it wants to surf around and show me other sites they find interesting. I need to find the link again and save it again.

Maybe someone else has had this happen, I don’t know. I have a tendency to think it’s just me most of the time, but this is different.

Thanks, Chris.

This is probably the wrong place to post a problem with the People Pages since they aren’t affiliated with The StraightDope or the Chicago Reader or this message board.  
But the problem is with GeoCities. It’s been reported in MPSIMS before and I’ve seen it happen too. You just reload a few times and it finally figures out what you want.

What JimB said. Try that or send an email to the picture submission address. Maybe the curator can help you. I know the SD can’t since the people pages have no official affiliation with this message board.

Jim, I debated where to put this. Yep, understand it’s not affiliated with this site.

Thanks for the input.
