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

Sorry, that's MY convos, here's YOUR convos:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/MP225620?skip=0&show=25&s_type=pop&s_target=conversation

Help me here. The only thing I can see that's missing from the old MP page is the Unsubscribe link.

Here are your convos in Goo: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/MP225620?skip=0&show=25&s_type=pop&s_target=conversation

Well done Sam and Chris and all involved Hope you get to enjoy the day

A couple of questions:

How long will dna/h2g2 remain available? Six months? A few weeks? It would be quite useful to be able to use both sites alongside each other for a while, esp in terms of being able to see what's changed. So it would also be useful to know how long we've got (ball-park figure).

If it's going to be more than a few weeks, any chance in the meantime you can fix the problem with apostrophes in burlesque showing as ' in dna/h2g2? (not sure if that's an easy thing to do).

Icy, Count etc, any chance you could take that convo to the Feedback thread? I'm just aware that the last Announcement thread had a lot of backlog that some people had trouble keeping up with (yes, I know I'm as bad as anyone at posting offtopic )..

"The only thing I can see that's missing from the old MP page is the Unsubscribe link."

In the new system you have to actually go *into* a thread and scroll to the bottom to find the "Unsubscribe" link.

yeah, kicking is right- kicking stuff out that should be ok to use.
See feedback thread- those offensive smileys.

Righty then, there are so many that I've lost track -
will one of you please remind me where the thread is for feedback & discussion of the new site?

Currently I'm bemused by my Public Profile page.
If you bestir yourselves to analyse my recommendations (if any), that may tell you something about me - but surely that's not a profile?

(by the way, the reason I was able to respond so quickly is because I'm using the Convo P'up*)



*My cute name for it before(if) it goes away.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F77636?thread=8010317 for general discussion. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/A78067353 and start a new thread to report a bug (that's not listed already). And yes, there is quite a bewildering array of threads now.

And, proving that point, the first link I've given above points to this very thread.

Thank you, Count Zero & KB.

I shall now proceed to repeat everyone else's already answered points...

"we are pleased to announce that the redesigned H2G2 is now ready for you to go and explore over at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2" When I click on the link you gave, I get a "page not found" message.

It works fine for me (although I sometimes have to refresh a page a few times before it shows). Hypatia said she kept being asked to sign in.
Any other USAnians who're having those problems?

Strangely enough, when I clicked on the link on the preceding post, I got into the new site. Does anyone know why the smileys aren't operational?

No idea.

why fix something that already works

But it *doesn't* work in the new system, prof. And I haven't met anybody who knows whether the smileys are gone forever, or will be reinstated eventually. Maybe someone is out there who knows, but there's a mountain of stuff to sift through to find that person.

For the same reason you "fix" a dog or a cat, perhaps.
