None of that shows up on my phone screen.

Oh, OK. When I get the chance later tonight I'll explain better.  [ghost_smiley]

Do you remember this scene in Ep #12 (which appears as July 12th's installment in the Quotes Slideshows on the Robservations board):


Ep #12 - Roger: 'The ghosts of the past are always
frightening.' (Not to mention flapping threads.  ;-))

Well, if you notice, one of the buttons is missing from Vicki's trench coat, and during the entire scene the thread for it keeps blowing all over the place. Hence "BEWARE THE FLAPPING THREAD!!"

And that capture is part of the July backgrounds:

The original series:

Cute.  I don't recall ever noticing the flapping thread during that scene. I think I have only ever viewed that episode once, though.

Thank you, MB! I totally get it now. Apparently the phone screen omits a lot of stuff.

As you may have already noticed, the August backgrounds are up. So be sure to clear your browsers' caches if you're not seeing them.  [ghost_wink]

(And with the change, we're all safe from THE FLAPPING THREAD once again!!  [whew])

The September backgrounds have been up for hours, but I almost forgot to remind the people who may not be seeing them to clear their browsers' caches.  [ghost_wink]

Oops - I just realized I forgot to change the backgrounds to February.  [snow_embarrassed]  But they're up now, so if you're not seeing them, by now you must know what to do.  [snow_wink]

I just realized that once again I forgot to change the backgrounds!  [embb]  But the ones for March are up now. And if you're not seeing them, just clear your browser's cache.  [snow_smiley]

How do I know which month? (For instance, I see Laura & David sitting on a fireplace hearth, I KNOW that's from March '67, since I just finished watching it.)

The original series' background for February includes Laura and David sitting at the fireplace (that is from Ep #162, which was originally shown on February 7, 1967) So, you're a month behind...  [snow_sad]

To check for what the March backgrounds are, go back to reply #50 on page 4 in this topic.  [snow_smiley]

As you may have already noticed, with the switch back to the Midnight Storm Theme, there's a new and fifth forum logo:


It's designed to represent the '04 DS pilot (which is why it uses a shot of Greystone, which was also used to represent Collinwood in the pilot). However, more than likely the font being used is off because none of us remember what the actual font used in the pilot's credits is.

I've created a new forum logo for the '04 DS pilot, this time with a correct image of Collinwood and the correct font:


And of course a reminder: if you're still seeing the old pilot logo coming up, then you need to clear your browser's cache.  [easter_wink]

Also, there will be a new and fifth background for the pilot - it's just that I haven't finalized all the photos for it yet...

I never mentioned that I'd scrapped that background because I was never happy with the limited amount of photos that were available for it. But now I'm running the pilot through my capturing software and I'm quite happy with what's coming up. So, a fifth background for the pilot should show up in the next couple of days, if not sooner...

And because we're late in March already, I'll leave this March background up for a few days after I change the others to April and then the April background for the pilot will debut...

I changed my mind and decided to have them both up, so here's the April background for the pilot:

And all the other backgrounds for April have also changed, so be sure to clear your browser's cache if you're not seeing them.  [easter_smiley]
