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

Hello and welcome to h2g2

I am one of the site's Aces and it is my job to meet and greet new researchers and make sure that they are ok and can find their way around the site.

A page well worth looking at is the Welcome page. Here you can find out some general information about the guide and links to help pages.

May I also suggest visiting the GuideML-Clinic. GuideML is the computer language that h2g2 uses, and this page will help you to fill your user space with all sorts of neat stuff

If you are wondering how to make the smiley pictures like then click on Smiley which will take you to a page which shows all the smileys.

If you are feeling a bit lost then clicking on DontPanic will take you to the help pages, or feel free to ask me by clicking on the reply button below, and I will do as much as I can to help

If you click on 'Who's Online' you can see the researchers names, clicking any of these will take you to their 'Space' where you can see what they have contributed to H2G2. There is no restriction to looking at researchers 'Spaces' and you can do so at any time (even if they are not on line). Feel free to join in any thread.

If you want to see how a page is constructed, replace the 'U' in front of the researcher number with 'testuserspace' e.g. U172782 becomes testuserspace172782 .
For entries just replace the 'A' with test e.g. test712595.
You can click on anything underlined and if you click on a smiley you will be instantly transported to the smiley page where you will see all the smileys you can use. Some of the smileys on my page are links, so clicking on them will show you some of my contributions to h2g2. I use classic goo (the original colour of the h2g2 site before the beeb took over). Have a look at the Researcher Lists @ A788448

Oops I made a boo boo!
You need to type 'testuserpage', not 'testuserspace'. So the URL you'll need to test Rocket Man's user page (for example) is -
