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

Hi there my name is opticalillusion and I am your ACE (Assistant Community Editor) here on h2g2 . My job as an ACE involves greeting newbies and showing you around h2g2 To find out more about ACE's click on the link <./>ACE's</.> . To find out about others click on the who's online button and click on the name of the person who's space you want to visit .

Smileys like this one cover the site and everyone uses them. This link <./>Smileys</.> shows you exactly how to go about putting them with your messages on h2g2.

<./>Askh2g2</.> and <./>MissChat</.> are good places to join a random conversation. Whereas <./>A632431</.> "h2g2 jargon" and <./>A901829</.> "h2g2 glossary" are good places to learn the local terminology. You can also use the front page to help you get started and use the <./>search</.> button if you know what you want to visit

You may also be interested in visiting a feisors page like this one <./>A719840</.> to help you find your feet as well as taking the <./>dontpanic-tour</.> which explains about h2g2. <./>thepost</.> is another place worth a visit as it has links to clubs and societies and tells you what's going on. Finally, if you want to spice up your space then why not visit <./>A691058</.>

Right I am off now If you have any problems pop by my jungle space . Do get stuck in you will find your feet in no time enjoy

Hi Opticalillusion

Just had a quick look before i head off to bed (well the sun is up!)

The link for spicing up your page goes to the wrong page - should be A660340.
the misschat link should be <./>miscchat</.>
And because you put an apostrophe in ACES it failed that link too

Try the ones you did and see!!! If you use the preview button then it means you can check them before posting. <./>namedentries</.> has the full list with correct link names. Just a thought - can you preview and check the links work before posting on a digibox?

Otherwise on first glance it is a terrific improvement!

Well done, you have taken onboard what we said and this is a great re-try!

Mort

Mort

Its a thumbs up from me!

I have to apologise as the link for spicing that i gave goes to the post now (and i did check twice!) This could be my PC or a bug

s off highly embarassed after going on about correct links!

Are we ready to give the badge?

I would really like the badge

from me

Thanks Sir Mort

Thumbs up from me

Sorry I am waiting patiently here wondering whether I am going to be an ACE but I'm growing a little impatient and wondered whether you could put me out of my misery and tell me whether I am to be an ACE or not Thanks from Opticalillusion

Hi Optical Illusion

The recruiting of ACEs is a collaborative one between me and the ACEs. Unfortunately I did not see the thumbs up from the other ACEs, before I left the office for the weekend.

I am now back in the office, I have seen that two other ACEs have given you the thumbs up and I will add you to the scheme.

Abi

Thanks Abi

Hi

I have left you a message on your personal space about what happens next.

Abi

okey dokey I will hop right to it and read it

Thanks!

read it

Well done - worth the wait!

They say patience is a virtue but its not one I have!!

Its great to see someone with so much enthusiasm. Welcome to the ACES!

Mort

Thanks Sir Mort yes it was definitely worth the wait I was growing a little impatient I must admit especially as I first thought I would find out over the weekend oh well the main thing is I'm an ACE and I'm going to have a party to celebrate on h2g2 sometime soon in the party forum.

Welcome to the ACEs from me too

I hope you'll be more patient with the newbies

If you haven't already done so, may I suggest you subscribe to:
<./>ACEs</.> Home Page
I'm New - What Do I DO Now? - A868098
and maybe <./>dontpanic-tour</.>

In case you need it <./>newusers</.> if you click the second button down for 2** as newbies are often welcomed by non-ACEs (which is fine)then the square button for 'This Site Only'

Emmily

Thanks Emmily
