Title: Home page collages of Dark Shadows
Post by: TNickey2003 on August 14, 2004, 01:01:18 AM
I really enjoy these collages of scenes from Dark Shadows (the current one has scenes from Jan. 1969) that appear when I click on this website.

Do you have archives of these collages ( I especially enjoy ones that have scenes with Maggie Evans)? I would be interested in those for my private viewing. Thanks!

They're not archived at the moment, but they will be available for members to download at a future time. Hopefully not too long after we complete the conversion to the forum's new system. (Speaking of which, the newest update (the first release candidate) was released this week, but I won't be installing it until after the Fest.)

Thanks for the info. That's encouraging to know. How long do you think it will be before the conversion is complete?

Speaking of the collages, that's an interesting one up right now...you can just feel and see the stress of immenent doom on all of the characters' faces... Even the ghosts look as though they need a sedative - LOL.  Nice job.   ;) :)

Hi, MB-
Any chance the upcoming conversion to the new system will allow forum members using "Opera" for their internet browser full access to the site? I had to drop MS Internet Explorer as my computer got viciously hijacked every time I logged into the Net. Now with "Opera," I can back into the Forum (after being told I'm entering it illegally), but am denied view of the Home Page Collages and other posts for "security reasons." Thanks for any advice or reassurance.

Unfortunately, I don't really have an answer for that question yet. Hopefully once I've installed the release candidate I'll get a better idea or I might even be able to figure out some way to work around the system's problems with Opera. But whatever the outcome, I'll be sure to make a post about it on the Testing board so you won't be left wondering.  :)

Enjoying today's collage and the last one that was up ( seeing pix of Maggie as Collinwood's governess).

Curious to know how far along things are as far as making past collage photos available for download?  :)

Not much farther than they were before.  :(  Right now I'm in the process of  making several modifications to the latest upgrade before I install it here, and then we'll see just how stable it is. IF things work out well, then I'll begin work on recreating the Members' Archive, which is where the montages will be available...

Curious as to how things are progessing with the downloadable picture archives of the montages. Also how many of the past montages will be available for viewing and downloading (for private enjoyment of course). Will they go back to the ones at the beginning of the Adam/Dream Curse storyline?

Actually, there is no "Old Lady" in the montage.... ;)

If you're curious about the woman with the white hair, however,....today's "Robservations" (692/693)  tells all..... :D

before i read the robservations i'm going to make a blind stab at the identity of the "old lady"...she looks like clarice b.it's strange/fun to be "behind" most of you in d.s..for me it's still mid-1968. ::)
