Welcome, new member Alan Waters. I have to say that I have overlooked checking into new members for a while now. Just distracted with other things, I guess. Apologies. However, Alan, I tried to access your website (http://www.alanwaters.artroof.com/), and got almost nothing but an outline format, with only your name and some search categories displayed. Any others have better luck?

hi Fritchie, I visited it without problem.
Araich, you have to visit it, there are some similarities with your work.....
Alan, take it as a compliment and welcome on this site!

Just curious - do you permit cookies on your machine? I don't. I just tried again and got the same response. The site asked and I refused. Maybe that's the difference.

That might be the problem. I allow cookies on mine and was able to view the site without any difficulty.

I see your two posts of today with the URL but I still get only a blank page when I refuse to accept cookies from the site. I’m not sure why my experience is different from others, but my policy is not to accept cookies unless I think they are necessary. That may or may not be the source of difficulty.

I did click on two different links in the ad that appears at the top of the page, and they both came up even with cookies refused. Just trying to figure why the site is responding in this manner. Possibly it is the browser - I use Netscape, currently 7.1. In any case, good luck with your work.

fritchie - it requires a cookie... most likely connected with the free service :rolleyes:

Alan, could you please edit those posts so that the image is uploaded and not hot linked. The file sizes are too large.

Hi Alan,

As Araich mentioned and Russ edited, in the future please be vigilant about uploading images that are compatable format and size. It makes it difficult at times to navigate through threads that contain images that have not been properly edited.

(Additionally, it is great that you are sharing your work with us but some comments on your behalf would really help the forum get to know you and your work and generate additional dialogue.)

Thanks in advance.

Nice to see your work Alan and it would be cool to hear about your experiences making sculpture in China.

Fritchie I use netscrape 7.1 as well --the tabs are a nice feature-- and it's easy to examine and dump cookies with that browser.
Tools > Cookie Manager > Manage Stored Cookies. I frequent is the NYTimes which gives 10 cookies upon entering the site.
I'm not crazy about snoopy bastards but it's a good news & culture source.

I rarely use NYTimes for information. I check 3 BBC sites about daily- Europe, Americas, and Science. They asked once about cookies, and I said No, with the Remember feature activated.

I just checked my cookie list, and I have about 10 from my server, 6 or 7 from ISC/Sculpture Community, and 2 or 3 from my local news source. Netscape gives a beep when it deletes an unauthorized attempt to open a new window, and these are now infrequent. Overall a great browser! (And one that Microsoft tried to destroy at its own birth! Internet Explorer was about in version 4 or 5 before it caught up with NS.)

Sorry about editorializing, but I stand by innovators, and Mark Andresson (sp?), who wrote both Netscape and its predecessor, whose name I forget now, is a real contributor to the modern web.
