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

I have been trapped in the reality of w**k for a couple of hours because the server wouldn't let me into h2g2 from my computer there. Believe me, GD, the problems were real.

It's good to ne home.

It's even better to *be* home.

I was at home, the whole day - why does this always happen on my day off ?

I don't think it's to do with which browser is being used, IMO the problem is with the BBC servers...as a little experiment, I've changed to Opera, see if it does make any difference.

I only get problems when there's no announcement to tell you why. Sure bet, on a day like today where we are warned, nothing happens.

Lucky you - I'm having problems with, or without announcements

The only problem I'm having is that my PC is slow from playing Civ 4 for two hours. I haven't come across a single error all day.

Paully, I have been having problems accessing my own personal space ever since I had to re-register for the BBC Science and Nature Boards. It would only let me register one way and I lost proper access to my Space and it keeps taking me to an old space from when I first registered with h2g2 which was never developed as you can see.

Proper space U536740

Old Space which I can operate, but don't want to U520304

I don't know whether this is part of the general problem, or something I did, but I am seriously about it.

Are you using the correct loginname? Your preferred account has a different loginname - initials and a surname. Have you tried that?

Jim Lynn,

Thank you, thank you. I appear to be back in. The last time I tried to do this it would not have anything to do with me!! It was so frustrating I gave up!

You're welcome.

I tried Opera. Couldn't understand a word. Think they were singing in some foreign language. I'll stick to stage musicals.

The classiacal opera is sung in Italian - not a language many people understand

Gimme Carmen any day, I understand enough French to get by, plus, being a fan of I'm Sorry I haven't a Clue I have fun with mucking around with The Toreador's Song and singing the words of I've got a lovely bunch of Coconuts and Staying Alive to the tune

I've never figured out how to fix it so that I don't get logged out when I close the browser. The 'Remember Me' tick box doesn't appear to work.

But I slept through the server problems. I love being in a different time zone - when you wake up, everything's been fixed!

"More as in 'I never logout' Hmm, they have changed that to 'SignOut'.

The problems were in obtaining the cookie from the SSO server. If you already have a cookie (marked 'Remember me') you will get straight in. "

Unless you're Paranoid like me and your Spyware wipes all cookies from the system
