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

And please raise your glass to the memory of Mr. Sam Cooke, who was shot to death on this day in 1964, aged only 33.

("Don't know much about history, ...")

"Jeremy, I am in need of some help please. I am trying to download photo's from yahoo photo store in a public album in my account. the URL is http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/sultandude?e&.intl=us&.flabel=fld3&.from=d&.pindex=1&start=1&.src=ph&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/bc/sultandude%3fd%26.flabel=fld3%26.intl=us%26.src=ph

and I'm using type what you want seen under your pic

when i try to update I get the message Illegal use of ampersand sprinkled in the URL, any ideas?"

"And Cheers! Here's to Sam Cooke. RIP

Hi Sultandude, this seems to be more a Guru's question, but I try to help you as far as I can:

The ampersand (&amp has some special meaning in h2g2, and you are not allowed to use it wherever you want. So if you have to use an ampersand in a link, you may have to replace it with " 'amp& " every time.

Have a look at the GuideML Special Codes Page at http://www.h2g2.com/A266951, hope this helps.

Oops.

Never make your post too soon.

You have to replace any ampersand in the link by &

Sorry. Please have one or two or three s on me for the inconvenience.

Hi there!
No I haven't seen Wolf, but I hope he gets here if the morals arrive. Then we'll have something to feed him with
Here's to Sam Cook !

"Thanks Jeremy, I went to the link and picked up on the ampersand & thing, it worked but the damn picture won't open. It appears that I will need to construct a web site if I ever get time. Cheers!"

You might try to get some help from one of the Guru's. Just drop a message at the Feedback Forum at http://www.h2g2.com/Feedback .

To me it seems as if the problem was not within h2g2. I have some pics included on my homespace, and they seem to work.

Is yours GuideML or HTML?

It's a great birthday we can celebrate today:

"Ol' Blue Eyes", "The Voice" Mr. Frank Sinatra was born on this day in 1915.

"Start spreading the news, ..."

I think that a toast with some would be appropriate.

I'll just drink what Dino would have drunk on this occasion - had he still been alive

That would be far beyond the allowed amount of smileys per post

I know! I thought about posting some of them but was afraid it would slow down not only this thread but all of h2g2 - as well as the entire Internet

"And that would never do. Gwennie sent me an e-mail with some instructions to sort out the problems I am encountering, bless her. How 'bout a toast to the ~Rat Pack~ I think they are all dead now are'nt they? Cheers!"

Cheers, Sultandude!

Yes, Gwennie is a friendly soul, isn't she? But then she is jinxed too, mind you. And she has a nasty habit of kicking and pushing people around. And knocking over their drinks! And her table manners, OMG!



PS: Still, I love her madly

Think of them (Sinatra, Davis, Martin) what you want, but they made some excellent music. I still enjoy listening to their greatest hits.

Hardly anything beats a couple of s with Frank Sinatra's 'That's Life' playing in the background.

*walks to the musicbox, dials 'That's Life', gets himself two s and starts humming to the music.*

*Sultandude pukes into the spitoon decides to head on over to the Crossed Purposes.*

*Puts another record on and humms quietly to himself: Today I killed the cat/ and let me add/ not in a shy way/ oh, no/ Oh, no, not me/ I did it my way*

I don't want to scare anyone off .

OK, no more Frank Sinatra tunes for a couple of minutes , only a lot of Frank Sinatra drinks

Cheers

You'd look more like Ole' Red Eyes, than blue eyes, if you consume that lot!

I'll drink to the Rat Pack ..... so make it one more for my baby .... and one more for the road ...

Hi Kes, it's so good to see you again!

This bar's not the same without you. Do you think that You, me, and Sutandude would be a respectable h2g2 rat pack? Dropping in at the various bars and pubs, causing chaos and disorder?

Sounds funny!

It's good to be back ... I got waylaid in various other bars by various ladies ... but that's another story Now that's a good idea, Jeremy. A good team of hardened drinkers. I vote we hold the inaugural meeting right here! Set 'em up!
