h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Sean, depending on the skin you use, it'll show about the ten most recent conversations with all others "dropping off the bottom". If nothing else appears to push a conversation off, it'll sit there forever.

Cephalopods? Try A703315, A2818659 or A709698. (Or U43764)

So presumably posts with new entries bob to the top?

Hi Peet BTW

I didn't realise that a journal entry would come up as a conversation/thread/whatever, is that right?

Finally got the Personal Space issues sorted out - thanks Peet.

Hi all. Please do not use emoticons anywhere near me LOL ROFL innit.

SeaN, you haven't edited your Personal Space yet so I can't leave you a message!

Snorkity, snork, snork, Alex!!

Is that OK?

Mind you I'd prefer emoticons to "lmao" or "pmsl" [or whatever they are]!!

Alex.What the 'eck do I have to do now?

Ah I've done it.There we go.

Isn't this fun?! :¬/

Hi Alex - I've added you to the central list, is that ok?

Btw, if you have 'plain' as your skin, you get just that - white screen, black text, blue buttons, and not an emoticon in sight.

Grins,

Katy

I can still see s when I use "plain" so it looks like there is no escaping them.

good!

Hmmm, so I've just noticed oomchi! The rest is really plain though, and if the background were yellow....

Btw, how did you do that trick of welcoming people when they visit your space? I thought it'd be cool for the central List too.

Katy

Yes indeed, if "plain" were more mustard colour it would almost be like looking at mustardland.

To get the name greeting thing you must make sure you are using guideML (I think that's what it's called, there is an option when you edit the page)

Then you must type




before you type anything else

end the whole thing with




This is how to do the scrolly text thing:



TYPE WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY IN HERE



(You can change the speed by changing the number after SCROLLAMOUNT)

To get the name of the person who's looking at the page type:



This will give you itallics:

TYPE WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY HERE

This will give you a line space:

Katy, if you want a plain skin with a yellow background, I could throw something together unofficially... The downside is that it would only work for people who had signed up to h2g2; PoV, Hub etc. users wouldn't be able to see it.

D'ya want me to give it a go? Warning - it's a bit -y.

Thanks for the offer, Peet, but we'd better wait a bit, hadn't we? Don't want to mess things up at the official end of proceedings.

Thanks oomchi! Gulp. Will study that later on, as I'll have to be off again soon.

Katy

Hello, DKB

I think it will if that person is one of your "friends". Anything they post will appear on the left of your PS.

Eilis

thanks for posting that up, moo. I have emended my personal page to do that freaky "I know who you are" thing as well.

That name thing is awesome Niff, I felt quite freaked out when viewing you and Dagesh's pages. I've callously ripped it off for my own page, hope that's okay,

Niff

That's fine, I haven't got copyright on it as I didn't invent it, everyone, help yourselves!

I see you're all settling in quite well!!!


I think Peet deserves a round of for helping you guys settle in so well!!!!!

Oh yes, Peet deserves 100000000 rounds of applause.

>>That name thing is awesome Niff<< Obviously I meant Moo, not me. Sorry, long day, brain switched off, need coffee, blah blah blah.

Niff [this is me]
