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

Hi there and welcome to H2G2.

I am Flanker and I'm an Assistant Community Editor <./>ACE</.> which is a sort of official greeter.

Part of our job is to be there if any help is needed by a new researcher and make sure that they can find their way about the site.

To do this I thought you might like a quick list of places and things that are available to help you.

Firstly find out more about some of the jargon used on h2g2 try A632431 and A901829 then if you want to jazz up your own user page then go to 'Spicing up your User Page' (A690518).

Another thing which will help you along the road is our newspaper <./>ThePost</.> which contains lots of news, articles and links to all the groups and meetings places.

Feisor, another <./>ACE</.>has created a page of hints and links for new researchers at A719840. which along with the <./>DontPanic</.> Help Centre (which can be reached via the 'Help!' button on the toolbar at the top.) are really good pages to start with.

One last thing is (smileys). The full list is at <./>smileys</.> and you can find out more about them there.

I, personnally, tend to hang about <./>Askh2g2</.>, which is usually fairly busy. So I'll maybe catch you there.



If you have any questions, need any help or want a bit of encouragement simply reply to this message and I'll be there as soon as I can .


HTH & HAND.

Hello, Flanker,

Thanks for all the useful info. I shall be back to investigate more of the site, and what I can do with it. I am enjoying it so far, but I have been a bit disappointed at the number of posts on other sites that are so old. I have replied to one or two, but no luck.

Must look for some up to date ones.

Thanks again,
Websailor

No Problem Websailor, and I know what you mean with the turnover of researchers being fairly high it can get frustrating at times.
