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

If I sign out, leave it for an extended period (without moving off the page after signing out), then sign back in again, it takes me to the 'Settings' page instead of 'My Space'.

Anyone else noticed this yet?

What is this "signing out of h2g2" that you speak of? I am unaware of the concept!

Well you know when you get a new toy, you have to try all the shiny new buttons (Lil's not about is she?)

I'm alive!!!!!!!

I'm impressed at the new thingy at the top of the page

Just a thought I'm guessing that brackets aren't allowed in names now - or at least new names. It seems all my previous problems have now gone but if I want to change my name - I lose my brackets (and I like my brackets ).

Although if that's the way it is, I don't mind sticking with my current name - then I can be one of the unique few with brackets

Putting a "delete this account" button in a place where it can easily be used is like P. T. Barnum's "This way to the egress" sign in his museum.

?? what does the "normal and expert" bit in preferences mean/do

If i click on a link (within h2g2) & reply; if that person uses a different 'skin', i have to re-set 'preferences' to get mine back; this will confuse & discourage newbies from the site in my
opinion.

What skin are you using?

Terri, check posts 219/232/233 for changing tag name

/h2g2/brunel/AddThread?in

in url at top, change "brunel" to "plain" when in preferences, press enter -change tag and replace back to "brunel"

The only difference between "Normal" and "Expert" is that "Expert" has the Tree Gadget (<./>DontPanic-Forums#2</.&gt turned on (which is the normal in Brunel anyway)

>>Bagpuss, you simply can't have two accounts with the same e-mail under BBC iD. But BBC iD doesn't know about your old account if you don't transfer it. So you can easily have created a new one instead...<< Mal

Yet, I've got duplicate accounts on 3 h2 accounts that I updated last month. The Eds think I've registered with a slightly different username and ended up with a second account. But how could I have done that with the same email address? It's true I do have a few email accounts but not that many.

How to change your tagline/nickname post upgrade: F19585?thread=7290807

thanks Ottoxmy friend

I use Classic Goo, don't wish to change that & if i am now simply zendevil; so what; those folk who know me realise Yoda is my familiar.

The donkey's name is Hootoo by the way. New puppy is Woolie Bear.

You *can* change your tagline if you want, it's pretty easy. Look at the link above.

Not sure what's going on with you and the skins but try logging out, closing your browser, emptying the cache if you can, then logging in again. I had my browser loading from the cache alot yesterday, very annoying.

Terri, you can always switch skins again after making the change, and it'll stay changed

I didn't even actually switch skins. Just click on that 'plain details' link, change your nick, then just hit the back button to here. Done.
