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

My name is Feisor and I am an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) here at h2g2. It's my job to welcome you to the site and hopefully show you around a little. I AM a real person, not an automated reply not an automated reply not an automated reply .

Welcome to h2g2 – not just the friendliest on-line community but an incredibly huge, living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. It’s compiled by researchers just like you and it's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that.

I hope when you get to know us a little better you'll open your personal space and tell us a little about yourself - but there's no rush - and it's not compulsory

We ACEs are volunteers here to assist new researchers so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You can leave a message on my space just by clicking on my name at the top of this message or by hitting the reply button below - it won't hit back (usually).

I have made a "Hints and Links for New Researchers" page at <./>A719840</.> - if you go there it will lead you to all sorts of places which will help find your way around and get to know this wonderful place. It should keep you busy for a while

Oh, and don’t forget to bookmark not only your space but the H2G2 <./>FrontPage</.> - it’s a great way to stay in touch with what’s happening and leads to all sorts of corners which you may otherwise miss.

Do some exploring and you'll find that the site has everything from the nonsense japing to debates on any number of diverse subjects. Many lasting friendships and relationships have been born on hootoo. It's kind of an online pub and encyclopaedia.

I am sure that you will love this community as much as we do There's lots of things to see, clubs to join and people to meet - please don't be shy - just jump right in - this is a friendly place. But be careful - it can become quite addictive - believe me I know



Enjoy!!
Have fun!!!
and above all !!!

Hi Feisor,

I wonder if you can help me. I've been trying to remove a Journal entry from My Space, but when I click on the 'Remove this Journal Entry from Your Space' link, I get a message saying 'You can't unsubscribe from another person's Journal' and the entry just won't go away. Do you have any idea why this would be?

Cheers,

I think what you are looking for is a "Remove This Journal" link - it should be there - if it isn't drop me a line and I'll get help,

Hi Feisor,

Thanks for your reply. I haven't seen any "Remove This Journal" links, but then I wouldn't know where to look. Any ideas?

Each journal entry has a "Remove this Journal Entry from your Space" link, but it doesn't seem to work - unless removing a journal entry merely hides it from others.

No ... if the "Remove Journal" link is not working it could be a glitch.

I'll ask a Guru to call

Thanks.

I was just wondering, Feisor: How long does it normally take to get hold a Guru?

Ooops!

I've been offline from home for a few days - I'll follow it up.

Hello W4at,

Sorry it took us so long to get here - this one's a bit of a mystery to us, as you said you can actually see the links but they're not working.

A really basic request - can you please try signing out and then in again? If not, we'll have to try something else.

Hello hootoosup,

I've tried signing out and in again, but the link still doesn't seem to do anything and I get the same message - You can't unsubscribe from another person's Journal.

I just checked the space of another researcher who I know looks at my stuff (there are some very misguided people around) and saw that the journal entry I'm trying to remove appears in their conversation list: they haven't posted a reply, but I guess that means they've looked at it. Is it possible that this could have a bearing on the problem?

Thank you in anticipation of your help.

BTW, I like to be known as tickle - that way I have a ready made signature.

Hello i am intern One of the Aces you have posted to Radio 4 site did you sign up there or did you come to h2g2 and sign up

I could be wrong but don't you only get a journal if you are signed up thru h2g2

Or signed into Radio 4 when you come to h2g2 rather

Hi,

I'm slightly confused here. I originally registered so as to be able to post on a Radio 5 message board, but it's the Radio 4 MBs that I normally use. I only went on to h2g2 to send a message to someone who also posts on Mornington Crescent, but I can't remember what hoops I had to jump through when I did that. However I have a researcher number and personal space just like everyone else.

I normally, probably always, access h2g2, by linking on an entry in the list of my discussions on the Radio 4 message boards.

Does that help?

sign in from h2g2 log in page see if that helps

Already tried that, after message from support. Made no difference.

sign in using h2g2 and
try a different probably alabaster its easier skin preferences-skin-alabaster go back to your space go to your journal tell me if you see.....

Click here to remove this Journal Entry from your Space

Yes, I still see that. I don't see my Radio 4 conversations listed any more, though.

there still there i can see them i have your page open on another tab and i am in alabaster as well

do you now see ...
Click here to remove this Journal Entry from your Space

If so click it to remove the journal entry you want to remove

Tried that, same result as before.

Just had a look ad R4 See if there was something i was missing but Alas there isn't so all that i can now suggest is

1)If it is a bug (I have had a look in bug feedback no one else has recently reported having the same problem)Just Waite and see if it rectifies itself

2)Sign up again just using the h2g2 sign in http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/signon/mainscript.pl?c=login&service=h2g2&ptrt=http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/SSO?s_return=logout that could solve the problem

I couldn't have been any more help
