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

Hello. could someone please help me set up my personal profile? Thank you

Hello QueenB,

I have left you a message of welcome in your Personal Space, hopefully, it will help you find your way about the site

In the meantime, if you look at the top of your browser, you will see an area called "about me" click you mouse on there and then click on "Edit".

You can set up your Introduction by just typing a message, or if you would like to set up ready for Guide ML, just scroll down and change it from Plain to Guide ML and update.

In the meantime, you can type between the ..... areas as normal, until you have learned more about Guide ML.


lil xx

Err, lil, there is no area in plain, if I recall correctly

I was talking about Guide ML..

>>You can set up your Introduction by just typing a message, or if you would like to set up ready for Guide ML, just scroll down and change it from Plain to Guide ML and update.<<


Ummm.. ??

Oh sorry, I misunderstood

I was beginning to think I'd confused myself, again..

It was the >>In the meantime, you can type between the<< that confused me, because it doesn't work if you want to add smileys in guide ml

Aah.. I understand..

Our lady has chosen to use Plain for now..

That's good then.

Indeed, it is

Traveller in Time grasping the idea

before == when you have not done something jet
in the meantime == while you are doing something else
after == when you have done the other thing

My guess is you can not click the update button and fill in between the tags at the same time.


--------------------------------

Another nitpick: you write an 'introduction' on your Personal Space entry.

Setting up your Personal Space involves adding forum headers and friends "

That's not helpful, TiT, you'll only confuse the poor newbie, and it isn't even funny.
