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

I see you've started already, but here's a welcome message anyway. Glad to have you on board! Hi there! Welcome to h2g2! I'm Superfrenchie, one of the ACEs (Assistant Community Editors), that is : volunteers who help new Researchers find their way around this site, the galaxy-famous Guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. If you're wondering what to do, now that you've found us, might I suggest you read the quick guide to h2g2 ( A42445226 ), for an overview of the site? Or you could tell us a bit about yourself here : http://h2g2.com/entry/A87791061/conversation/view/F22133174/T8309855 Then, depending on what you're interested in, you have quite a few options with the different forums (fora? forumses!) : - you could have a look around Ask h2g2 ( A148907 ), which is where you can ask questions, - or Miscellaneous Chat ( A121096 ), which is more, err, well, for miscellaneous discussions. - If you're interested in science, try the Science Explained forum ( A4108330 ). - And for games and fun, head to the Games Room ( A4167605 ). Quite a few long-running games there. You will also find them all together here in The Lounge http://h2g2.com/thelounge/ (you can also get there via the handy little button at the top of the page). Subscribing to the Announcements page ( A85834173 ) is a great idea, so you'll know when something happens! And our newspaper, The Post, is a really interesting read too. (you can access this week's edition thanks to one of the buttons at the top of the page). Or you could read a couple of Entries from the Edited Guide. Or even write your own. Also, you can find a list of the latest activity (where people are currently posting) at the bottom of the front page, or sorted by forum in The Lounge. Or you can go to someone's personal space and have a look at their conversation list, see if something catches your eye, and dive in. It's an adventure! To go to someone's personal space, just click on their name, and voila! (Nothing is private here, so everyone can read everything. You can find more information about Netiquette on h2g2 here : A901838 ). Most of all, wander around, have a look here and there, get a little lost, ask your way around, jump in... Meet the locals! If you have any questions, you can post a reply in this conversation, or even ask someone else if I'm not around (I'm not jealous ). We're a friendly bunch. And whatever happens, remember : you can get back to your personal space at any time by clicking at the button in the top right-hand corner of the page.

Ah. Sorry about that. Wrong button.

Hi, thank you for the hospitality! Just one thing: you wrote several time the letter A followed by numbers, as if it is a way to go in a certain page... I don't know how i can use these "codes"
Can you explain me what they are and how i must use them?

Hi! Yes, I seem to be having a problem there, those A-numbers should have turned into links, but it didn't work, for some reason.
Give me a minute and I'll get you the full adresses.

Right. Let's see if this works :

There should have been smileys too, but they got stuck in the WiFi or something...

Yep, looks like it's working.

Ok, now it's alright
Thank you

Any time.
