Welcome Rothers, I too discovered this wonderful place from "The salmon of doubt". After reading that book I felt sad , because the world is missing a wonderful mind, and it was brought back to me when I read that book. This is a great site with wonderful readings to find, I still am amazed by the depth of topics here.

Hiya 
h2g2 takes a bit of patience to get the hang of how to use it but dont worry, you'll get there! 
I still dont know the full works of it myself yet and ive been a user for just under a year.
Take Care

Hi! Newbie. I am also new here. You have done a lot better than me. I have not quite figured out what is going on as of yet. You did good to post an entry. I still have not figured that one out. I have gotten replies and hellos from my space. Which I appreciated very much. I have been able to respond to postings, I have even learned how to do smileys
Learning more everyday. See you around and Welcome

How on earth do you add the emoticons and other pictures??
Newbie
threesecondmemory Posted Feb 7, 2003
Click on a smiley and it will take you to the simely page, where you will find a cornacopia of smileys and instructions on how to use them.
As a quick intro, try typing : ) but without the space in the middle. then try ; ) without the space.
As fo rth emore advance stuff, it's really easy. IF you know the name of the smiley you just surround the name with < >
eg. - < cheers >
= 
< ok > = 
If you are using internet explorer, hover your mouse pointer over the smiley and the name will appear in the grey status bar, bottom left.
If you are using digital tv to view h2g2 though, don't use smileys, they can sometimes crash you viewer.
