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

In case you didn't see this over in the thread "Announcement 2019-05-26: Calling All Froods" I quote:

Hello, Hoopy Froods:

As you know, Pliny is still borked. Tech is working on it. Please do not continue to tell Content about this, as we're just as frustrated as you. Just send more Stuff to the Post, and pray to the galactic Deity of your choice.

HOW TO REACH YOUR CONTENT:

1. Stay logged in.

2. DO NOT click on 'Front Page'. The Front Page is in Pliny and will still be borked, no matter how you sneak up on it. Stay off. We are updating the Front Page sometimes, but only for advertising purposes, like dressing up the front parlour.

3. To get to the Front Page Content, SEARCH (in h2g2's searchbox, not on Google!) 'Zaphod Congruence' or Subscribe to the Front Page Announcement thread F21546918?thread=8320080 .

4. To navigate, bookmark the current issue of the h2g2 Post thepost or your Personal Space.

The current issue of the h2g2 Post is at A87937429 - updated weekly through Post Announcements F21546918?thread=8319196 , or by Subscribing to the Post Personal Space U54963 .

Milla advises: USE THE BOOKMARKS to go to h2g2. Do NOT start typing h2g2.com in your browser.

Yours in hope,

The Core Team

The latest news is that Pliny is working again.

But keep those instructions on hand. They should continue to work regardless of what happens.

(it's good to be prepared for anything .)

Yeah, I just noticed

After all the hard work I did of alerting everybody

But you are right, we should keep those instructions. It's not that I don't trust the but Rupert and our fling with old auntie Beeb taught me never to take anything for granted

Turns out Pliny is not completely back yet

Before he went down Pliny always highlighted the conversations with postings I had not read yet. I doesn't do that now

But at least you can actually read articles in Pliny now. That's a HUGE result!

Looks like the highlighting's back now!

Not here it isn't

But the Baron is right: It's a huge step in the right direction

Perhaps your fine service of alerting people impacted the success of the magic applied to the system in a positive manner?

Huh. I've got functional highlighting here

I'd like that, Milla, but I doubt it

It's a nice thought, though, so for that!

Still no highlights here, Amy

But that's okay. Just a minor glitch I can w*rk myself around

Maybe I'm doing something wrong

Where do I find "preferences" on Pliny when I'm at my computer? I don't see it anywhere

In the upper right quadrant of the front page, directly underneath the search box.

Ha! Got it!

Turns out I wasn't logged in to Pliny even if I never logged out and was able to do just about everything in Alabastard

Now that I've logged in to Pliny it looks like everything w*rks

This calls for celebration!

now we know why i cant get the sites i have to google unless in alabaster lol
