Sorry im sending you so many messages nut theres something else i was wondering. I told my trekkie mate who loves things like this (his nickname is Maltz you might see him) about this place and he signed up. I was just wondering is there anyway i can see his space while hes not logged on? otherwise id use the "Whos online?" button

Sorry again

No problems - that's what I'm here for
So many questions ... well here goes ...

To Insert a picture - copy the code from the graphics library and just paste it into your "edit page" window
You can reveal the code used on any user page by using http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/testuserpageXXXXXX where XXXXX is the user number - for instance to view my page use http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/testuserpage38014 and then you can "pinch" bits you like - but it's usually polite to ask first - but you can use anything from my page without asking
BTW - I must tell you that all those smileys make your page slow to load - but it's up to you
To learn the differences between HTML and Guide ML go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/GuideML-Clinic

I'll answer all your questions in separate posts - that should make it easier - so keep reading

There are lots of people your age here - though you probably have to check out their user pages to see if they put their age their.

I think that Niwt is about your age and he's been here for a while - you can find his page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U162817
He's an Aussie too - just as I am - but don't hold that against him

Your friend Maltz hasn't activated his page yet - you can find him at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U183059 but as he hasn't opened his space (as you have) you won't be able to leave him a message - tell him how to do it and then you can leave him a note on his space

BTW - you can search for a friend using the search function and going to the "Search For A Friend" function.

and it's not necessary to "sign" your posts because your name goes above the post each time - though you can (of course if you want to)

I just dropped Niwt a note that you might pop in - so don't be shy - say hello

If your still subscribe to this conversation please reply to this. Im having trouble with my space. When ever i put it into guideml the smilies make an error in it. Can you only use them in plain text? when i put a < winkeye / > the smilie doesnt appear and no error is caused? help!

ps.Ck means corner kid as im called in the programming corner of which i am nowa member!Im really getting into this

I answered this in the Corner CK

Dancer how you get this 'cos i sent it to my keeper person feisor?


CK

Hey Psycho Monkey - do you feel you need a keeper??

I hope that you got the answer that you were after - I will assume that you did unless I hear from you

Everybody can see (almost) everything around here, if they just happen to look

I have the habbit of looking at personal spaces, Jurnals, threads and entries of researchers I'm in contact with

If you want a "keeper" you might want to ask for a guardian Angle.

I'm a guardian angle, so If you want to I'll be your Personal Patron Saint Guardian Angle


Dancer

I just ment keeper person 'cos feisor was the ace which chatted to me first and i saw someone else call someone a keeper so i used the word

Well, keepers are titles people aquire on the Keepers homepage.

it's at http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A441596

On the other hand, a Guardian Angle is someone that is a GA here on H2G2 and takes care of you, your intereses and stuff like that.

The ACEs are the people that help you get along and start getting around h2g2, and they are all sickeningly nice and cheery, so a lot of times they just become your friends.


Dancer

I'll have to butt in and disagree here.
ACEs aren't all 'sickeningly nice and cheery'. * takes ou sub-machine gun and takes great pleasure in killing everything nearby while laughing *. See. We can act crazy too

I concur - I haven't been "nice" since I was a wee tad
and I've NEVER been "sickeningly" nice - "nice" is a horrible word anyway

Though I am happy to be your friend Psycho Monkey - and always happy to help.

Angles (Guardian or otherwise) can be acute or obtuse which, I must admit, is better than being "nice"
