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

I can't see the alabaster thing on your personal space but I did notice you had <smiley type="crying"/> when you probably want <SMILEY TYPE="cry"/> or <SMILEY TYPE="wah"/> instead.

Please tell me what does O:// mean? I have seen it alot in various subject headings and postings on the Folders Arms. I new alot of former LDers use it but I never used as I do not know what it signifies. Please explain. Thank you.


Katrine

Although I was on LD I would see this sign O:// and over here, I do not understand what it signifies. Please me just because everyone else knows what it means doesnot necessarily follow that I do. I have posted this early this morning and I have not had a reply yet. I am not been funny and do really do not know O:// means. Please will someone reply to me. It's like when former LD users use lol and the like, I never knew what they one about untill I asked them. Also I do not possess a mobile so I do not know anything about texting language.


Please answer me.

Hello, JA. The only reason I didn't answer you is because I don't know what that sequence of characters means or is meant to look like. I assumed one of the others would know and reply. I've only posted now so that you'll know I'm not ignoring you, as this message contains no useful content otherwise!

SEF: I've tried the tags and they are monospaced, but using the font face="courier", doesn't seem to make any difference on the digibox.

JA: I haven't seen those about anywhere, are you sure you've got them right?

Ive never seen it either! ...hmmmmm

I think its O//: It's used in subject headings and in conversations.

JA

Nope, still not seen that one! Maybe you should ask the person who posted it?

< Thank you Kow, Sandra & SEF

ja

I gave you the wrong information.

Please tell me what does this mean after a subject heading /:o)

Thank you

I would say that was someone with a flat cap and a round nose, smiling. I found a "frenchman" in one list with the usual hyphen nose.

As I crick my neck sideways, ( followed by <ow&gt its either a flat cap or a severe parting

Anyway.... On a pc & on normal Telewest Interactive menu you can navigate relatively (!?) quickly using "back" & "forward" but because we access h2g2 via email link those options no longer appear in the red "Goto.." menu. Is there anyway to get them back, or are there any similar ways to get around? (pressing_the REAL back button on the remote just takes me WAAAY back to tv email menu.)

I think I answered JA's question in another thread

Anyway, Yep Element9inety2wo you can utilise the back and skip buttons on h2g2, have a look here: A942194
The tools option is what you need.

i recognise that /:o) !!!!

this is my personal LD smiley...

twas a variation from the usual or :o)

and nope i'm not wearing a flat cap...



loup

Thank you Loup for the information you gave me.
