akhet, if the pic is stored on geocities, tripod, or any of the other sites (angelfire?) that don't allow their images to display on sites that aren't theirs, then that's probably the reason it didn't show up in your profile.  Unfortunately, the same goes for images you might try to place in a message here or on any board that also isn't theirs.

But though dsboards can't EMAIL aol addresses, images stored on their pages do show up here.  Go figure.


Stuart, that's SO nice of you!

A large number of DS lists reside on yahoo, and CNET news.com has provided the following explanation for the lack of email from them today:

Members of Yahoo's free e-mail list service are without a clubhouse.

Yahoo Groups, a collection of discussion lists based on various interests, has been inaccessible from the online portal's Web site since Monday morning, Yahoo spokeswoman Mary Osako confirmed. The outage, noted in a message on the Yahoo Groups home page, has prevented millions of members from receiving e-mail from their cohorts.

Osako would not discuss details of the problem, but she said it is hardware-related.

Welcome to the board, Thom!  I'm thrilled that you're enjoying yourself.

I think Alex has stayed away from conventions and the like because she was afraid of fan reaction but from what I understand when she appeared the Museum of TV & Radio ceremony last year she got the biggest applause of anyone.

I do realize that you were just speculating here, but I wanted to add that I don't believe Alexandra has ever publicly stated why she hadn't attended any DS events before her appearance at the DS tribute.  Your post is fine, Thom, but my concern is that fans reading these boards may mistake the opinions expressed here to be facts, especially when they have to do with an actor's private life, and that's why I feel we have to be careful when making guesses or speculating about their personal motives.

And yes, the response she got from the audience was tremendous.  It was very touching.

the above addy is for the general listing of recent daily robservations, done by Our Hero.  go there and pick the dates for whatever shows ya missed, and read the detailed acccount of that days eps.

Oh wow, I just noticed that it's very close to the 100th board-- just a few posts away if you guys are still starting new boards after 100 posts.  The SciFi boards and Tim's FAQ site were my DS haunts when I first went online, but back then there were only a few more than 10 SciFi boards.  Where has the time gone?!

Welcome aboard, Annabelle!

I tried to put a smiley in this. I did a click and
drag but it would not work. How do I put them in
a message?

Just click on them and they'll automatically appear (once per click), though they generally show up at the END of whatever you've typed so far, so if you what you're doing is going back to insert them inside your message such as the middle of it, you're usually better off just typing the code for them yourself where you want them.  When you click on them and get them to appear at the end, you'll be able to see their code.

Second, how do I mark a item as having been read?

You can't mark each post, but what registered members can do is take advantage of the "mark topics as read" button to clear the system, then when a new post appears, the grey buttons before each forum title on the home page will turn blue to indicate that there's something you haven't read on that board.  If you're finished reading what interests you but decide there's something there that you're not  interested in reading (perish the thought, hee hee!!) just click the "mark topics as read" button again and it'll be as if you read it.  There's a sampling of what the blue and grey buttons look like underneath the last board on the main page.

Each time a thread gets another message added to it, it jumps to the top of the board.

Hi Carol,

This is the problem:  You're registered with a Road Runner addy, and RR is owned by Time Warner, which is owned by....  AOL!  We've been unable to get email from dsboards to members whose mailboxes come through AOL servers.

I'm deleting your prior registration now, and this is the reason you haven't been able to reregister prior to my doing that-- the name is already registered.  But it will be available on your next attempt, though I must ask you to use another address to register that's not Road Runner or AOL**.  There's a link to hotmail in the "Registration" section of the Help files if that's the way you want to go.

We're really sorry about this inconvenience and I promise that we're very anxious to get you registered!  Please let me or MB know if you run into any more problems.


**or Netscape.com, also owned by AOL, and we're still waiting to hear if our registrants with Compuserve have been able to receive their passwords too.

Yay!!!

Wow, the downtown library needs to update its computers!

Wow, deron!  I'm thrilled you decided to delurk!!

Welcome!
