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

Welcome to H2G2...I hope you can get your difficulties straightened out. I don't know if you are a user of BTinternet, but I have heard that there have been some difficulties within the past two days of users of that internet service communicating with H2G2. This could explain your problems. I am an ACE, or Assistant Community Editor. We are volunteers who go around greeting newcomers to the site. And providing answers to questions when we can. Some other sites at H2G2 you might find useful are: http://www.h2g2.com/A344756 (a quick reference guide) http://www.h2g2.com/F617?thread=57497 (a newcomers welcome). http://www.h2g2.com/F26140 Aroma Cafe Forum http://www.h2g2.com/A270325 The Overwhelmingly Huge Guide to H2G2 Clubs http://www.h2g2.com/U42 The Researcher page for DNA himself -- Yes, he does participate in the forums on occasion, and has written a few interesting guide entries. Gavroche, ACE

thank you for the greeting and i do have a question jr1952 mentioned a who's online button, now this would be a very usefull thing to have but i cannot through my tears of frustration see it, care to lend a hand?

Heya, Kiddo. l'm the cafe troublemaker jr warned you about. Finally found you...hope everything's going okay. lf the page comes up blue, you're in GOO. Someone has already probably told you this. lf you don't want to switch to Alabaster (go to My Settings, on the left side of the page, click, and change the "skin"), try typing into your internet address bar the followning: http://www.h2g2.com/online That should pull up the online page. Be sure to give the cafe a visit; try going here: http://www.h2g2.com/F26140?thread=61761show=1000 and, if it's since moved, just follow the link at the end. You'll find us. We'll look for you there. Best of luck!

In case you were interested in putting a "Who's online button" in your intro -- now that you've gotten it to work -- all you need to type in your intro is:

Click me to find out who is online

The above will only work if your Intro is using GUIDEML

From reading your introduction, it's possible you might be interested in checking out the H2G2 Literary Society at

We have the strange goal of cataloguing every guide entry on H2G2 vaguely related to Literature. There's an entry on Kerouac, and another entry specifically about On The Road, and still another entry on Beat Poetry in general.
