Hello and welcome to H2G2. My name is Psycho monkey dragged through a vortex backwards, but like every one else you can just call me CK (its easier to type!).
Im your ACE (assisstant community editor) and its my job to officially introduce you to H2G2 and answer any of your questions.

You should only press this button if the posting breaches the house rules which can be found at:http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/HouseRules


I've prepared some links for you to get you started on H2G2, just click them to take you to that page. First of all a message to Newcomers from the people who run this place: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Welcome-Newcomers ,it tells you most things you need to know about H2G2 and what its all about.

Second link is the GuideMl clinc, a place which teaches researchers how to use GuideML, H2G2's own own markup laguage which is similar and based on HTML but you'll learn more about that here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A187229

For information on smileys vist: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Smiley this is the section of H2G2 which explains about smileys and how to make them appear. Once you know how, its hard to stop the little guys/girls appearing all over the place in your messages

That was an awfull lot of information for you to take in so please if you have any questions hit that reply button (hopefully it won't hit you!)

Have fun on H2G2, it becomes very ingrossing


CK

Thank you so very much for your welcome, even if I feel it is the same welcome message nearly everyone joining this BBC enterprise receives; doesn't diminish the sincerity, does it? Really looking forward to diving in. My only concern is the spelling inticacies on your side of the Atlantic, "centre," for "center," and, "behaviour," for "behavior." As long as I shy away from "theatre" reviews, I should be fine.
Have a great one.

same message? All ACEs give different welcomes,we have to write them ourselves, but we are humans as well. As for spelling i cant spell anyway so...

Ask if theres anything you need ANY help with


CK

AS for language theres LOTS of differnet nationalitys worng speeeel thigs ow u want. When you coding yu have to use COLOR="#00FF00" instead of COLOUR it really does my head in


CK

As an American, I just spell everything the way I spell it here. And laugh when i see it spelled the other way. Cause colour is funny.

I just stopped by to say hi and welcome, by the way...

peace.

'ello Theory (yet again)


CK

Hello... I do believe this thread got lost in my backlog cuz I never seed the responce...

Another brittish/american oddity... those brits call fries chips and potato chips they call crisps... so watch out for that...

peace.

or if you look at it our way these americans call crisps chips and chips fries


CK

'Course fron the viewpoint that we americans are the king of junkfood (we did, after all, come up with McDonnalds and Burger King) then we have the cedidentials to label the greasier of foods...

peace.

yep

But then again do all americans still think brits are all up tight post and stuck up?


CK

uh... probably... but I really don't know... I personally don't, really, that much...

peace.
