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

Hello, I'm Redfox, an Ace, who will be making a modest attempt to get to know you, and to guide you through the insane rat's nest that is The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy.

(An Ace is a volunteer in the h2g2 community who is here to help out people new to the site.)

I'm some what new to this, which means that I may not be as well "connected" as some of the other Aces, but I will do my very best to help you.

Alright, first of all, you seem to have gotten the basics of posting, so here are some places to post to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/dontpanic : this is the help center. If I can't do it, they can.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/U179935 : this is my home site, which is just as easily reached by clicking on my name at the top of this post.
Feel free to ask me any questions you might have!

(That is a smiley. For more info, just click on it. there'll be a listing of all of the current smilys in use.)

Seeing as I came all this way to ACE you just to be beaten to it by redfox I thought I'd throw in a shameless advert If you play bass, you might like to come and join us here http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A669828

Yeah... you know, ..., there seems to be a lot of competetion out there for Aces.

Oh, don't you know, I play guitar. It's a six string, though.

you come and join us too then (unless you're already in the musicians guild)

No, but I'm in both the Supervillan and cynics guild. I'll join up!

no eggy for two days....looks like we lost him

I'm alive, just not a very reliable person, egg, monkey dog, thing???? I'm lost aswell, i think i'll shut up and give up.

woooohooooo he comed back

And now trying to learn how to add an entry. HTML is evil.

did you find your way to http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/guideml-clinic ?

or theres a cheat....if you replace the U on somebodys personal space with testuserspace, it brings up the guide-ml so you can steal bits...or replace the A of a guide entry with test it brings it up for that

Yeah i did all three, tanks. i'm not sure if it was done properly, or if i clicked the rite buttons, but time will tell.

nope - you've gone wrong

hit edit entry and you'll get the screen where you type it all up again. Down at the bottom of that theres a tab you need to click one says "plain text" the other "guide ml" next to that, theres a button 'change style'. Check the 'guide ml' tab then hit change style and it *should* work

Howzat???? As they say in the wonderful game Kritkit (is that the spelling from the book?)

...And I was gone for two days, too.

Sorry.

Hey, Eggy, Hearty handshake to a fellow 40K player. I'm Space Marines.

What chapter??? I'm black templar and am glad to say they havent lost any of the holy cruasades they've been in for quite some time now.

Blue Bellies. (aka "THem Ultra Marines"). Well, sorta.

I haven't fought with it yet, but I have spent lots of time and energy (okay, mostly time) researching units, and I have to say...

I COULD SO TOTALLY KICK ANYONE'S BUTT!!!

Especially Eldar. Even if they are quick bitty suckers.

I was always orc....though I caint even remember what clan now

Yeah... ya know, I'm scared of anything with the war cry of WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!, mostly because that means it's to stupid to give a crap about beating me up.

They've moderated my 40k entry!!!!!
