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

I just thought I'd pop in to see how you're getting on in the big bad world of h2g2...are you liking it?? Addicted yet?? Don't worry - you soon will be - I think it's fantastic - there're so many places you can go and so many people you can meet!! If you need a hand with anything, don't hesitate to give me a holler

Hi Cafram , thanks for dropping in!
Yes, I`m having a great time, never experienced anywhere like h2g2 before. I`ve been hanging around on the net for a year or two now, but this place is unique. I`ve got a lot to learn, so am taking my time and enjoying it
Yes, I am addicted!! Already !!
Thanks for your interest, Cafram, Hope we meet up again soon!

Glad your enjoying things - I know what you mean about h2g2 being unique...you stumble across it and go "why on earth didn't I find this earlier?!"

Exactly!
The main problem I`m having is skipping around the site,ie, keep going back to "my Space" to see when or if I get a reply to a posting.
When I dont, and sit on the same topic, waiting for a reply, nothing seems to happen !
Does that make any sense to you Cafram??

Absolutely it's some kind of sick twisted game that TPTB are playing with us!!

What I generally do is keep my sapce (or my 'more postings' page) open in one window and keep refreshing it, so that I can open the fora in other windows...and yes, I'm an addict, and spend most of my time here

AAAhh !!!
I`ve been using just one page! I`ll go to preferences ? and see what I can do. Thanks for the tip!

I don't think you'll find anything in preferences that can help you...I could be wrong though!!

Well, I`ve got a split screen now, a list of current conversations on LH side, and say, my message centre on the right,
Calling up my personal space makes it revert to a single page!
Sorry to bother you with all this Cafram, I`ll get there eventually!!
Lurcher

No worries!!

OK, you've got it out of full-screen mode, which is a definate plus. Are you on a Mac or a PC? If you're on a Mac, hold the funny command button thingy down and press N..if you're on a PC go File-New-Window (or Ctrl+N)...in the new window type in your space's addy.

When you want to visit a forum, hold shift and click on the link (this is for a PC...not sure about Macs ), or right click and then click on "open in new window".

Is this making sense??

On a PC. My head`s buzzing at the moment, have been up 23hours (not on the PC!!)so I`m going to have to study your last post when I can concentrate!!
Thanks for all your help Cafram, if I can`t sort it out, perhaps I could get back to you?
Lurcher

23 hours?! GO TO BED!!! That's an ORDER!!! Geez....you've only been here a short time and you're already depriving yourself of sleep...I was up until 3am this morning posting... ah well!!

Get back to me and let me know how it's working out...I'm always happy to help!!

OK, on my way
Actually, it`s 24 hours now!
Goodnight

24?!

Have a good sleep!

How's it going?? Getting it all sorted out??

Hi Cafram
I think all is OK now,managing to get around in a fairly efficient manner. Won`t do any more tampering for a while!
Still having server Hiccups, but have to live with that
See you later
