That helps - at least we know it wasn't erroneously removed.

I left a bug note for you, Strider, but it seems you've been there two. Probably a lot more helpful straight from the Ranger's mouth. 
Jim, thanks for the TITLE attribute! The Monty Python link on my page looks much better now.
As for the bookmarklet trick (the 'Go to Entry in Guide' link), it should work with the original URL, that is, it will work from a bookmark. The problem is that DNA now second guesses my coding. It's a , which used to go throught the parser just fine. Now DNA sees that there's no 'http://' and figures I meant instead, and adds 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2//' before the 'javascript:...' part, so rather than run the code, the browser tries to find a page that definately doesn't exist. If you just make a browser bookmark of it, though, and delete the part before the word 'javascript', it should work. Of course, it's not nearly as helpful now that A664922 makes a link. Oops! Was that a shameless plug? 
me!
-Spike A.

One: Javascript isn't supposed to work anywhere. We have a POPUP attribute in the LINK tag for the only allowed use of javascript. Sorry.
Two: It's bad manners to randomly surround any old words with the forum link tags, and we might ask the moderators to fail any posts that are like that (because they are broken links, which aren't allowed). There's no reason for it, and it's anti-social to make people follow broken links.

Jim: If you sorted the "thread moved" thing out, thanks for sorting everything out. If you didn't sort it out, someone else did.

Forget Tihita or whatever. Its all happening at the keys, you can find so really nice parties there. Unlike this bad party its starting to stink. No offense Spike but i think the party idea is a wee bit old.
