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

A real?!!
Hello and welcome to H2G2.
My name is Crystal Butterfly and I am an Assistant Community Editor {ACE} one of a group of volunteers to like to meet and greet and hopefully befriend new researchers.
This is an awesome site, and it does take a little getting used to at first.
If you require any help or assistance, please just click the reply button and I'll be back to help!
Have fun hitchhiking around!

Hey Crystal Butterfly, thanks for the welcome. I know the site pretty well, although adding my own thoughts and experiences will be a new thrill for me to learn. I've been a chat board fan for some time over at SciFi Channel's bboard system, but with the demise of the fabulous Mystery Science Theatre 3000, the bboards began to fill with some ratherr obnoxious characters. So I've found a new home and somewhere where I can contribute as well. Yippee!

The main thing I wonder about at this time, is how to add those wonderful smiley faces and icons to messages. Everyone seems to be doing it but I have no idea how. Any advice?

Mucho thanks and I look forward to the adventure.

Dr Neil

The smileys are wonderful, aren't they,Neil?
You can either go here:http://www.h2g2.com/smiley and read them all; or just click on one when you see one!
Here's how to type them: < doctor > {without the spaces}
There's also ain fact quite a few medical conditions, but no butterfly smiley!
So I am still typing db
I like these

Hi there dr neil I did mindprobe over there at the sci-fi channel until they moved the time to 3am(GMT)and i did use the bboard as well but not that much i had a friend that used it called EVILEDNA(you might have seen her on paramount text as well with triple 6 AKA 666)
anyway welcome to h2g2 and i look forward reading you input.

Hey, thanks Crystal

I can now type my name is wondeful smileys...

Oh, the pain in all the diodes down my left side has started to dissapate. Thankyou!!

Ah, another ex SciFi bboarder...now feel right at home. May we mourn the loss of MST3K, especially the lost 10th season which SciFi UK decided in it's wisdom not to show (or season 8 or 9 for that matter!)

I do remember EVILEDNA, although I'm sure 666 is also a name I recall. Maybe it was at paramount text some time ago. I just dunno anymore, it's all gotten a bit confusing.

Still, as a timelord I'm sure you're used to a little bit of confusion.

Thanks for the message, good to find a friend along for the ride. Stay in touch

Neil

(I do so like these smiley things!)

Hi there i have met eviledna and 666 with speednik and a few others at a meeting of the sci-fi channel's text users.We still chat now and again but i have just lost her e-mail and post address when i wipe the computer last week.But i will get them back in time.
As for speednik i last saw him in september in London i was passing though so we went for a drink and a chat.

sorry, I don't have a clue what you two are talking about!

Don't mind me, though, I'm here if you need any help,Neil!
