No answer from erich; I don't know why they have security in the first place - will they lose money if someone sees a JtRH room? It was a lot better in the original DROD, anyone could see demos and post new topics...
Well, JtRH
is a commercial hold, and if anyone could see images of every single room, then they could just recreate the entire hold in the editor and basically get all the puzzles for free, although of course they wouldn't get the characters and would probably not know where Halph and the Slayer were. But anyway, it is partly a security measure.
Actually, things have changed recently, so that anyone who has their CaravelNet account activated can view all of the non-secret rooms regardless of their progress in JtRH. If they want to see secret rooms or the Dreamplane on the forum, they have to have their progress uploaded. This explains why you can't see this room...it would be nice if you could check to see if you can see other, non-secret rooms on the forum.
If Erik isn't answering your e-mail, there's a topic on the Anything forum where people have been asking him if they saw their e-mails or not. (His spam filter is pretty unforgiving I guess.) You can post there too...I don't think he gets Hints & Solutions posts e-mailed to him, but he does get Anything posts mailed to him.
But since you are registered, the problem seems to be that your progress isn't updated. It is possible that you don't have one of the Internet options checked on the Settings screen. If you have Upload my scores checked, then just start the game and your progress should be updated. In order for all of your old scores to be uploaded, though, you need to click the button on the Settings screen in the upper left corner. It will take a while, but only the first time you do it.
Game on,

I finally did it tonight...staying up till 1 AM in the process (first time DROD's done that to me in about 2 years). It was so frustrating because I was pretty sure which chamber I had to do first...but I just couldn't do it. I was glad to get the confirmation from these hints...sometimes all you need to know is that it is possible with your method.
Oh well. Dreamplane, here I come.
