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

Yay, it looks like we're all coming back out of the woodwork.

Something must be cached somewhere - changing skins has no effect.

how many sock puppets are there out there now???

I made it.

Nope. It's still claiming it's never heard of me.

I made it.

To Ed the not Bonobo - have you tried signing in using your email address rather than your user name? I was given that option, but didn't use it, so don't know how it works.

Tried. Doesn't work.

To add complications...at some point in the process I was sent to an old-style password reset page. So now I don't know whether to use my new or old password. And resetting involves replying to an address I can't access.

There's also a method that involves answering a secret question. I did that - but still no joy.

But the fundamental issue is...I have no idea why it rejected my username during the Upgrade bit in the first place.

Either way, you are likely to have been locked out now.

You will have to wait for it to unlock (about 30 mins)


Have you tried contacting h2g2.support @ the usual address?

Your sign-in might be slightly different to how you remember it if you've been using the pc to remember you.

Yeah...I guess I'll contact them. My sign-in was right, though.

Reminds me of the *last* Digibox crisis....

I survived...

Oddly, I went into my preferences just now to alter my tagline, then once done, I pressed the "Back" button at the bottom of the preferences page... and it took me to a completely random conversation! Bizarre...

I think all this fuzz has sent bad vibrations all over... The Lair Cats are behaving erratically... Maybe 2legs is to be blamed...

first you have to find out if 2 legs survived.
I survived. It popped up a list of rules I said I agree
and it accepted me. No problems since.

You mentioned the rules!
Didn't you read it? It said rule 1 is never mention the rules

what, you mean I was supposed to read it before I agreed

Yeah, you just agreed never to go off topic in a thread

I did that too...


But I had my fingers crossed at the time, so that's OK.

What are you all talking about? I signed in. That's it. I didn't get any email, or had to agree to the terms and conditions again.

Ooooh! It should have asked you when you signed in to agree to the Beebs House Rules.
