I have been enjoying regularly reading the arcticles on Toonopedia for some time now. The site certainly looks better but I am still getting used to the new format.
But there is one of your recent articles that does not seem to be included anywhere on the list or the list of past additions. The article on "The Nightmare Before Cristmas". Has it been deleted?

Unless, there was a mistake in coding when Don "updated" the look of the "toonpedia," I saw it on the list of recent additions, and, on the list under "N".

The link to the article "Lady and the Tramp" is currently leading to the front page of the site. The article can also not be located through the search engine.
Could you please restore it?

I apologize for not getting onto my own message boards until the new format has been running about three weeks, but I have high hopes for things to settle down eventually.
No, Dimadick, I've never yet deleted an article, but I have noted a few that seem to come and go from the list. No-doubt, that's because the bugs are still being worked out of the new format, which is handled by people who are a whole lot better at running a Web site than I am. (The old site was made completely out of simple HTML). Fortunately, it turned up again, as Chuck attests.
But I'll take a special look at Lady & the Tramp, and see if I can do anything to bring it back up.
Thanks for helping me catch this stuff. I have a feeling there's a lot more stuff to take care of.
Quack, Don

Don: I'm really not sure if this belong here, or, someplace else. Maybe it's a question, more than anything else. I've noted that in the Disney posting, you mentioned, in passing, their releasing CGI "cartoons," beginning with Toy Story (1995). Shouldn't there be, or, are you eventually planning, a separate posting on Pixar? After all, you've got Tom and Jerry with their own entry, cross referenced with Hanna Barbera (their creators,) and, MGM (the original releasing company.) Of course this would mean seperate postings for each Dreamworks Animation (Paramount)/Pacific Digital release, as well as those companies. Sounds like a lot of work for a part time endeavor. Maybe I should just keep my thought to myself. Your thought Don?

Well, first off, no, I don't think you should keep your thoughts to yourself. The whole idea of a forum is to provide a place where you don't have to keep them to yourself.
Second, yes, I do eventually plan a separate article on Pixar. The world is jammed solid with things I eventually plan to do articles on. And yes, it's a lot of work for a part-time endeavor. I've known that from the beginning. I've put thousands of hours into this site, and plan to put in thousands more, because the fun in this project comes from dazzling people with how much quality work I put into it.

Don, I was kidding about keeping my thoughts to myself.
Nice to know that Pixar IS among the articles your planing on doing sometime, (and, probably one one Dreamworks Animation (Paramount)/Pacific Digital (I think that the company that does their CGI work,) and, possibly entires on the features as well, for both "houses" )

Hey Don;
What happened to the article on Black Angel? When I click on the link to see the full article, I get a page saying the article has been moved, or, unvailable. And, of course it's not in the list of articles you've done previously-yet. Too many late nights with the grandkids?

Typo, Chuck. The new system seems especially vulnerable to them. I won't go so far as to say it won't happen again (tho it'll probably happen less as I get used to it), but this one, at least, should be fixed now.
Quack, Don

Don;
Thought it was probably just a "bug" in the encoding. Though I know little about the process, from what I understand even a small mistake can create big problems. (As you are finding out.)
BTW; can your "public" email box accept attachements? Sent you Christmas greeting with a video clip attached. Didn't get a "bounce" message from your "public" email, so I presume it went through. Hope you were able to play the clip video, and, audio.
