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

Welcome, Everyone
-------------------------------

Welcome back to the approximately 2,500 researchers who transferred their account within a day of receiving an email last week from [email protected]. If you have been away for a long time, things may have changed, but there are plenty of ACEs (A214796), Gurus (A395688) and other helpful people about to lend a hand.

To our new researchers, an especially warm welcome to you. h2g2 is a big place and it's easy to get lost at first, so do feel free to ask for help. Your ACE (A214796) can help point you in the right direction.

To the 850 researchers who signed up before the BBC's email went out, we've said it before and we'll say it again, welcome to h2g2 in its new home. Perhaps you worked on your research in s2g2 until h2g2 launched. Perhaps you were among the volunteers beta testing h2g2 in the pre-launch hours. Many of you simply waited until we announced h2g2's launch on Noesis, Facebook, Twitter, or the h2g2 Community Consortium's website. Congratulations on being among the first to explore the newly relaunched Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything.

Don't Keep h2g2 A Secret
-----------------------------

Now that h2g2 has moved to its new home we shouldn't selfishly keep it to ourselves. Share your favourite entries with your family and friends. Blog about h2g2's move or your latest research project.

Tech Update
--------------------

A great big 'thank you' to Pastey (U45177) and the Tech Team (U14917802) for fixing the search function.

If you discover any bugs, please follow our bug reporting procedure in the New h2g2 Feedback.

*points to empty subject line, nudge, nudge*

And painfully past my bedtime, too.

And the tech team's Unumber should probably have a 'U' as opposed to just a number...


Geggs

Shiny buttons!

Nice Announcement

Shiny buttons? None of them are orange, are they?
