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

We expected that our last day with the BBC would be tomorrow, Friday 30th, but we have now had it confirmed that the site will remain with the BBC for the next couple of days.

Remember, the updates will be posted at h2g2.com: http://www.h2g2.com



-h2g2 Future

Aunty can't bear to cut the apron strings..

are we squatting, has Pastey changed the locks

so, right now when we go to www.h2g2.com it takes us to BBC (which I understand) and Barlesque (which I'll never comprehend). Once the changeover occurse, just out of curiosity, what will the default skin be? Will we be able to just add a /brunel/ somewhere in the url? Or what?

It won't be Barlesque, that's for sure. I'll ask the testers about the others.

Your favorite skins should work

From Gnomon regarding testing on the new site:
>>The site was displayable in any of the old skins - plain, classic, brunel, alabaster, and even pda! We were asked to test the site to make sure it could do everything that we need h2g2 to be able to do.

Saves me a job CZ.

Is anyone else getting excited, or is it only me?

>>Is anyone else getting excited, or is it only me?<<


Me too!


Unless it's the first stages of Hubby's tummy bug

You can't get sick, lil. We need you to threaten Pastey with button-pushing.

Excited and ready.

Thanks all.

If I need detailed instructions, I'll ask after the change.

I want to feel excited but mostly I feel hot.

I stopped pressing buttons when I managed to something Pastey says I shouldn't have been able to do


If I can do that in a Test Page, imagine what I can do with the Real McCoy!!

Oh stop it Mr. D ...it'll soon by your cup of tea..months and months of cold and damp

Oh wow how can I get out of that crappy skin??

Ignore that, it's the redirect on the old site.

Are you in barlesque now, Mina? Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/U94986

sounds appropriate

or as Ed would say - end with a song

The U-toobs are offline!

At first I thought the link above was just a joke
to a cute little disassembled robot and a google
notice of a 502 error.

But all my Utoob links are getting the same response.

Are we under cyberattack?

"Gimme, gimme shelter."

We're aiming to launch the new site with the old site.

The login system is now set up and will take you to your homepage with your preferences set. So, if you've been sensible and stylish, you'll get Goo. If you've bizzarely chosen any of the other skins, you'll get those.

Anyone who's not registered with the site, or who is logged out, will currently get Brunel. Although if I can find out how, you're all getting Goo
