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

I can't post to a journal conversation. The system keeps saying I'm not logged in when I am, and bringing me to the unknown hiker page. Then when it thinks I'm logged in, I click the link to write a reply and it brings me back to the unknown hiker page. Yet I can post here.

The link was http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/U24.

You're absolutely right, it's not just you. It may be something that's just gone temporarily dandy with that thread (trust a staff member!) or the thread may just be strange. Either way, give it a try later, and an italic will go and poke it in...around 9 hours or so.

You posted there previously though, I don't know whether that would change anything.

I think U24 is a hub account, and unless you've agreed to the t&c's of that site you can't post to it. Single sign on for you.

kow is right - if you haven't signed in to the Hub you won't be able to post.

Try going here: <./>/dna/hub/U24</.> and sign out and in again. It'll ask you to accept the terms, then you'll be able to post again.

shows up ok for me as well in goo though

What I do, in some kind of reflex, is change to the site of the user, just to see their space like they do, before I post.

(The broken link T## did a better job, by showing the 'unregistered error' page on the originating site)



Hmm, GetWriting gives an IE error popup:
(though it does give the right < sign in > page)

Wrong forum I know, just sticking to the topic
