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

Dear Alyson,

Welcome to H2G2. I am your ACE - a volunteer Researcher who helps to guide our new Researchers about their new home.

On the 20th January, 2011 we all entered an exciting new phase when the BBC opened hootoo in their new barlesque engine http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/ although we are still having a few problems with it, our wonderful Editors and Techs are working hard to kick out those gremlins! Under our old system I would have left you links to help you on your way, but my usual links won’t work just now. However, I can advise that you add your user number to the above link ie http://www.bbc.co.uk/user/U551837 and it will take you directly to your Personal Space. Just run your mouse over the page and it will highlight any clickable links to take you around the site.

Sadly, on the 24th January, 2011 it was announced that the BBC will be closing some of their message boards and that H2G2 will be looking for a new home. Please watch out for further announcements from our current Editors who are doing a sterling job, even though their future is not secure.

Fear not! The H2G2 Community will survive! We have made too many friends to just be discarded. Stay with us and follow our adventures into the unknown!

For a while you might want to use the Brunel system, at least until the Barlesque is operating properly http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/home to find your Personal Space, replace 'home' with U(and your user number) ie http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/U551837 This system gives you the chance to use our smilies , click on any of them and you will see the full list of smilies available

Today 20th June, 2011, Hootoo was saved by a wonderful group of people, including yourself!

Thank you!

*noodles*

I really should have perviewed!

I got the date wrong

lil xx

hahaha!

Don't worry sweetie I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Aly

And if you change the skin to Brunel, you will only need to click on My Space to be returned to your Conversation Centre

lil xx

Hahaha I feel like I'm in the middle of a tug of war you Brunel pushers on one side and the alabaster on the other - it's hilarious!

Aly

Ala... Ala.... Ooh! It gives me a headache just thinking of it!

Besides, I can help you around the site far easier in Brunel


lil xx

About the time that Bel, and then lil, and then I, joined in ... Brunel was the default face of the place. So loads of us are rather 'glued' to it... Others with less digits in their names will be adhered to other skins. And maybe some later folks who like splash and glare and just plain yucky-stuffs!

And some changed their colours when it suited

Now shoo! Back to your own thread

Well, let's see what the facts say... http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F19585?thread=8154713&skip=0&show=20 There you go: Brunel...you know it makes sense... Oh, and hello!

Sorry, 3Dots, seems this is a private thread ... being 'shooed' away

Who left the door open?


Drinks are in the kitchen

I hope someone brings the food!

May I just drop by and say... Goo is blue, Goo is true. Goo is the one true way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/U185843 Should you want to find the thread that has a lot to answer for have a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=143046amplatest=1 Or if you want to find the saner side of h2g2 do find the time to drop by Lil's Atelier: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F38024?thread=8112720&latest=1 an ongoing conversation for many years that spawned numerous friendships and at least one marriage (it's where a couple of the interim committee hang out so you'll recognise a few faces).

You didn't bring the food

My mistake

I've brought some and , and even more .. and to go with the .

Oh and there's some and for nibbles.

Thank you. All we need now is music!

Though if there's music there may be dancing, and I can't dance.

Can't you just shufty about?

*jiggles*

Hahaha! Nuts the lot of ya!

... It gets worse


*dances around her * *hic*
