something strange
I've just been clearing out my rather lengthy multiple sub-folders favourites bar and clicked on my old DVP link. Now the strange thing is that the last time I clicked on that link the site had been closed down. Today it was all there, right up to March 2009. Just had a nostalgic read of some of the old posts and all. Has anyone else tried this (or I have just not read enough postings here).
Re: something strange
Can you post your link here? I don't have the link on my laptop. I've just googled Da vinci puzzles and it brings up a load of puzzles, some of which look familiar (Wolf in the fold) but some of them look like old ones re jigged. There is one called refinery incident, but it doesn't look completely familiar. Also there is a map puzzle of Moray firth, which I'm sure I did, but I don't remember there being three sets of clues. One of the other maps seems to ask you to take the 5th letter of something, and I don't think the maps were like that before. (My memory is really awful, I could probably see the magazines again and not remember doing them, and I don't have them to hand)

I couldn't find the forum.

Re: something strange
Wow. Yes, it's alive again. I'm tempted to try and post something, but that would feel a bit like playing football in a graveyard...
I wonder what's going on.
PMed you the link giraffe.

Re: something strange
Post the link on here Sparkout.
We don't have a problem with that.
Edit: We still retain the link to DVP from our front page. I've just tried it and it comes up " unknown host".

I suppose I wondered whether Bauer might have a problem with it... but on reflectiongill216 wrote:Post the link on here Sparkout.

Re: something strange
The other one was me under my DVP pseudonym, because I couldn't remember what my login name was., (Doh!)
Re: something strange
well the name did take me back to a certain puzzle......

Re: something strange
how weird
Perhaps they are thinking about reprinting the magazines they have already compiled.

Re: something strange
Well it was in the aftermath of that puzzle that I created the pseudonym, "just in case"
Re: something strange
I must admit I was too nervous to post when I first found it live. Came straight over here instead. Wonder how long it's been live for? And why?
Re: something strange
Did anyone else look at the puzzles that you find if you google da vinci puzzles

Re: something strange
They look familiar - I think they're the ones that were put on the forum every month or so after they stopped publishing the magazine
Re: something strange
Hmmm. Curious! I recognised the titles of the puzzles I think, but I didn't really look at them. I have far too many on here to look at!!! Will have to keep an eye on it.
Re: something strange
I still have my original file with all the printed copies of the solutions to the books as well as the subsequent puzzles that followed when publication ended. I've checked some of the puzzles against my copies and they are the same. If you were looking at the last map puzzle (post book puzzles) then it did look different.

Re: something strange
Nice find Nell - I've just been in and captured the "Books in Haiku" thread which I forgot to do before it went. Classic post

Re: something strange
Well done Nell (and husband) - good luck to the pair of you....

Re: something strange
Congratulations Nell and your new husband!
Re: something strange
I had wondered why Nell hadn't been around for a bit. Much better things to do!
Congratulations from me too.
