Hi Guys/Gals
I am just off to work and as I am no longer a RL vegiman any more, I can start late working for myself.
BB Go for it, start posting and see how many older reaserchers come back to the fold

for Bluebottle.
Do me a favour, remind me what Waterworks is, my brain remembers it but won't remind itself exactly what it is! Isn't that terrible?
Hey I'm 12 today! I almost forgot!! for everyone! (which is the closest to a party hat I can find!)

Hi Em. Not being funny but I think it might be wise to take your age off your AKA name for obvious reasons.
Have you any Birthday left - I am fammished.

There's still and hot dear, and yeah, probably not the best idea advertising the fact that I'm 12, especially when I'm actually just about to turn 27.
Makes me sound like a complete weirdo!! Shall just pop off and change that before it gets me in trouble.

I'd be here more often and more loquacious, but I'm still in hospital, lying on my side and typoing one-handed [sic]. And the facility's free wifi has been unsteady the past few days.
In a few weeks I hope I can be sitting up to type, though, and then you'll be wishing I'd shut up.

Hi A - Lil
You concentrate on getting better, sounds ish not being able to sit up for two weeks. Are you allowed to have a and a piece of Em's .
Em pass the to A-Lil - & Since Em has been on hootoo since 2000 that'll make you a baby when you first joined just joking
12 years on h2g2 not many of us can claim that, especially being a 12 year old and joined at birth - Now that is making history

Vegiman I shall go check it out, though I should probably just relearn GuideML and stop being lazy
*passes to A-Lil and everyone else...must be magic cake since despite cutting it seems not to be getting smaller, though hides to keep vegiman from any more accidents*
12 years is a long time, I was only 14 when I joined, back in the days before hootoo moved to the BBC! And even before GuideML!!! *puts in ear trumpet* Though since I was MIA for a over half of that time it's not that impressive.
A-Lil, hope you feel better soon!

What we've done is strip standard html out from the GuideML, the new editor replaces the old plain text editor and handles all the layout code for you.
The widget stuff is still in GuideML, and you still need to switch to the GuideML editor to use that.
But if you just want to write, it's now a lot easier.

vegiman:-) Posted May 24, 2012
Hi Pastey always great to hear from you.
why is it just in Brunel or is this on the 2do list for other skins ?
I use Goo - found it by accident although you informed me that it was on the cards.
Moving on from the serious stuff.
s
for A-Lil and takes some more everlasting
Welcome to old Researchers
Pastey Posted May 24, 2012
The new editor is actually in Pliny
When the beeb had the Guide, they decided on Brunel being the default skin. So, all development that they did was focussed on that. Including all the ed tools etc, they were all built into the skin.
We're moving away from that now with funkier features in Pliny, and moving all the tools out of the older skins so that they can actually work properly
