Tarheel,

It seems to be up and running. http://groups.msn.com/tarsjournal

How are you getting there? Do you use a favorites link or drop down from the address bar in your browser? Somehow maybe the address was corrupted?

I just had a look and you're right - the words are there but no pictures.

If you browse a specialist discussion group for the topic you can usually find somebody has posted the answer already. Google is your friend.

The photo albums are open. I don't know how MSN organises these things but it looks like an index is there but the picture files are missing or have been renamed.

Homeland Security and NSA have a program to make us all more secure by copying all the data on the internet to ascertain at a latter date their threat status. The loss of your pictures is but a small price to pay for security exercises of this sort*.

Virtually every internet forum has had data corruption this month from MSN to ez boards to pro boards etc.

How about last summer when NYC then London then Rome all had complete power blackouts? You can't make a secure omlette without breaking some eggs.

*of course none of these security excercises can be announced since it is a matter of national security.

I suggest burning back up files.

The album opened for me, using Opera8.01. The server must have been down.

Only if the photos were on a different server to the pages displaying them, mack. The pages were opening but I was getting the little rectangle you get when an image can't be found. As I said before, I don't know how MSN organise it.

I just went to the opening page, and it looked fine. I followed a link to look at your photos, and could see a thumbnail on each album, but when I tried to click on one that was (I think) "Friends and family," I got a "The Page Cannot Be Displayed" message and my firewall popped up to block it and gave the message "A computer with the IP address 65.54.134.190 sent information that is characteristic of the HTTP Netscape Cookie Monster attack." It did this twice.

Anyone else see this?

Not here - I've just tried friends and family and it opens fine (Suse Linux 9.2/Firefox and Win 2K pro/IE6). I haven't got your firewall (XP's at a guess?) though.

appears to be working just dandy.

shame the page is so dull and boring.

number ONE rule in photography - if the photo is dull ... you are not close enough.

cut all the one, two, and three letters words from your text. Create "poetry" look for opportunities for alliteration, similie, metaphor.

while not the "worst"....this page will be nominated....and surely recieve a red-ribbon for "runner-up."

Sincerely,

They opened with Opera, Mozilla, Firefox, and Epiphany. Are you using Explorer, by any chance?

Almost every one was too dark. You probably have the software to correct that.
