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

If you have an existing BBC id & password you can use RegReturn to convert more than 1 h2g2 account.

The Login will then take you to the latest h2g2 id.

You can then keep re-using RegReturn to swap h2g2 ids.

I would assume that only the current h2g2 id set by RegReturn is held - so swapping IDs would be a neat way of hiding who posted profanities etc

Like this - both are using the same Beeb user

Though 2 Beeb id's can't share the same h2g2 user - I checked

wondering who he is at the moment

Looks like a feature to me... though one we may prevent in future.

Actually, this is something we do need to fix, and will. To prevent being locked into the wrong ID, I suggest you log in as the ID you want to be associated with your h2g2 account, and pretend this never happened.

I may be too late -

Attempting to swap id's now gives HTTP Error 405
405 Method Not Allowed on the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/RegProcess

Attempting to convert the 'unused' (previously swapped) h2g2 id on a new Beeb user gives the same result.

Though the servers are being way dodgy/slow at the moment.
