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

Also 360 and SoP...

Speaking of 360, the footnote bug's fixed! YAY!!! *passes cheesecake to Dragonfly*

"Also 360 and SoP..."

Nope - these are all h2g2-related. But I can't tell you what they all are. Internal tools, that sort of thing. Very hush-hush. On the QT. Mum's the word.

I remembered to give Dragonfly the payment for using YAY!!!, but I forgot to thank the technical team...

*brings in a basket of mufflewhumps (even if I did have to change my non-h2g2 pages a little)*

Speaking of 360... This thread in 360: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/360/F77636?thread=186642 (Note the non-functional "Shop" link at the top... )

P.S try looking at the info page in 360!

Bum. I'm sure I fixed that one - I certainly couldn't reproduce it when I tried.

However, when you try and view a 360 forum, you shouldn't get frames.

"But I can't tell you what they all are. Internal tools, that sort of thing. Very hush-hush. On the QT. Mum's the word."

*hazards some of those guesses that is almost certainly wrong*

1. You're testing the new skin.

2. The Italics have developed a new language and the links translate it into that for you.

3. You actually made a mistake and miscounted the number of links.

4. Erm... OK, I don't know.

Thanks yet again for all the hard work!...

...though I've totally forgotten what the features are...

Do the "Shop" links in the (unsupported) frames version of the 360 forums imply that the 360 project was started pre-BBC?

[] Maybe it was a huge typo...

Is it just me and my Opera or does the Goo version of the posting-page say "Post Message>"?! What's the > doing there?

I just read that here: F47998?thread=186620&latest=1
I think it's just a typo!

I was just about to come and report that too!

"Do the "Shop" links in the (unsupported) frames version of the 360 forums imply that the 360 project was started pre-BBC?"

No. What you're seeing there is our 'base' stylesheet - the stylesheet that provides the common functionality. It *was* started pre-BBC - quite a long time before the BBC actually - hence the Shop, Ask and Tell links. Since that toolbar is never supposed to be shown, I've never bothered to change it.

And it only works if you view an h2g2 forum from a non-h2g2 skin. You can't get frames on a real 360 conversation (I allege).

And a good thing to!

* takes a deep breath *

FRAMES ARE EVIL! NOBODY SHOULD BE USING THEM FOR ANYTHING!!!!

Okay, I'm going to go and hide now. Bye!

Not sure if this is a bug, but...

There is no referenced researchers list on the side of my page anymore-- or anyone else's, for that matter.

Is that a bug or part of the redesign?

i LIKE frames, they stop me getting all confuzzeled and without them my glasses would fall apart.

The referenced researchers list has gone missing in action. Investigations are in progress.
