Well, the login went fine! But what on earth is that hideous big greyish stripe doing down the right of the page when I'm reading a conversation???

Well it took a bit of time logging on, but I got here. There's a great green bar cluttering up the top of the goo pages and the conversation info is a bit more clutter as well. Oh well, perhaps we'll get used to it.

I just went through the whole process in a couple of minutes.
I wish I could get rid of that ghastly bar across the top of my goo saying 'hello' to a sign-on name that I have NEVER used as my name on h2g2 or anywhere else. Couldn't we have a 'Hide this utterly pointless monstrous carbuncle' button?

Never mind. It looks like Opera doesn't like h2g2 anymore. Wonderful.

What's all this New Posts stuff supposed to tell me? On one conversation to which I posted ten minutes ago, and to which there has yet to be a reply, it tells me I have '-5 new posts'?

The negative numbers should probably go away after a while and seem to be an artifact of threads started before the upgrade which won't have the full data filled in yet.

After many attempts, i finally managed to login again. However many of my other friends on the digibox cannot get past "step 2". Is this likely to be a permanent situation, or is this "teething problems"?

Hi Venus, I'm having trouble at the moment although I successfully migrated two accounts earlier on today. I think the system is just overwhelmed this evening.

Probably semi-permanent. With a digibox it's possibly not just a transient failure of SSO, but also a case of the javascript not agreeing with it.

Mort,
I would test it to try to find out, but I keep getting errors on trying to migrate my other accounts, so I can't see that page just now.
