I am enjoying this story very much! I  hope when this is all over and things have returned to normal (well at least for the Collins') no one mentions Carolyn's nudist  activities, that, I am sure she would no doubt wish remained forgotten.

And I should not want to be the character to remind her if I didn't want to get whomped pretty good. ;)

Upon closer examination, I realized that this thread actually calls for the two most disturbing DS moments.


As you can see, I listed a pair:

Thar she blows! (Okay, well maybe not). Chapter 12 of DARK SHADOWS: THE LABYRINTH OF SOULS has now been posted for your bathroom reading pleasure.

Connie, I'm trying to restrain myself for your sake. Really, I am.

NEW! Chapter 12: http://home.triad.rr.com/smrainey/labyrinth12.htm

Chapter 11: http://home.triad.rr.com/smrainey/labyrinth11.htm

Chapter 10: http://home.triad.rr.com/smrainey/labyrinth10.htm

I hope you folks are continuing to enjoy this. It's a blast to write, though I may need to interrupt it with some honest-to-god paying work this week. But never fear, there's more to come....

...some ISPs will either add routines to already existing library files, or they'll create their own - and they'll do it in such a way that even if you upgrade your browser from Microsoft or Netscape's Web site rather than the ISP's own site, the newer version of the browser will still act as if the ISP's library file is a vital part of itself

MB -- Thanks. I surmised this was exactly what might be happening because I've reloaded IE before, and it still gives me the same RoadRunner logo. I had no idea it was actually utilizing MSN somehwhere in the process, however. At least with Netscape I can get to the archives when the mood takes me. Funny; Road Runner uses AOL servers, and Netscape is partnered with AOL. Sometimes life is stranger than shit.

If I do another goofy montage, does that guarantee me that Quentin will be alive and well at the end of LABYRINTH ??

Well, there are no guarantees either in life or in fiction. However, there is such a thing as improving the odds. ;)

Many ISPs either offer their own supposedly "specially" tweaked versions of both IE and Netscape, or while you're a member of their service, they'll imprint themselves on your browser without you even being aware of it. Sometimes a dead giveaway to either of those two situations can be that, instead of IE's logo displaying in the far right corner of the browser's button bar, you'll see their logo.

Yes, this version of IE 6.0 is Road Runner's; it's got the RR logo in the top right. I can't find any MSN files on the computer, though. I'm not savvy enough to know what file names to look for though, if they're using aliases, so to speak.

I can get to the archives, at least, using Netscape 6.2 now, although I'm not very fond of Netscape's interface. As for your question regarding them upgrading to a new version at work -- I wish! Upgrading Netscape is apparently a low priority.

Interesting. I just downloaded Netscape 6.2 and was able to log into the archives OK. I'm still using Road Runner, so it would seem it's not the AOL servers. It would appear to be tied to Internet Explorer itself, or so it would seem to me. I cannot for the life of me, though, figure out why the board would think I'm using MSN.

Go figure. I can see the Road Runner network possibly being a problem since it uses AOL servers. But why it would indicate I'm using MSN is a total mystery. I long ago unloaded every trace of MSN that I could find on my computer, so it's not likely my computer itself; must be something in the Road Runner network.

I did get in OK a couple of days ago. Was that before changes were made for security purposes?

Later, I may hook up the phone line and see if I can get in through Mindspring.

For a couple of days, I was able to access the archives fine, and in fact posted there. But now I'm getting an error trying to access the archives that reads:

>>We're sorry, but AOL, Compuserve and MSN users cannot access this archive using Microsoft Internet Explorer within AOL or CS.

Please start IE separately from AOL, CS or MSN, go to http://www.dsboards.com, and you'll see that you're already logged (because you've already logged in using IE in AOL, CS or MSN). Close IE in AOL, CS or MSN, and then, using the separate version of IE, return to the archive by using one of the five links in the Members' Gateway.

This might seem inconvenient at first, but it's actually a better way to view items posted in the archive because AOL and CS convert Web site images to their own ART format before displaying them - often degrading them in the process. By using IE separately from AOL or CS, you'll be able to see the archive's content the way we've intended.

For MSN users, it's an archive security issue.<<

However, I'm not using AOL, CS, or MSN. I'm just coming straight in on IE 6.0. Cleared cache. Wazzup?
