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

Bit of a bummer for digibox users then.
We have both signed on with digital port UK and Shedevils LD, I also chat on onr called Priceless Parrots, it,s mainly for discussions on Parrots but they do have a General Chat forum where one can talk about anything.here's a link for when you are at the library.

Can you use the library email address to join forums.

hi alan
-
its not a lib email i use, its the blueyonder one that telewest gave me after i had to drop the internet
-
i can acsess and join anything that isnt rejected by the clean feed system.
-
didnt you join the games site to play the one to one games gamedriven, its got more than 7 parts with diff games to play, ie
-
backgammon, draughts, chess, battleground to name a few, and its free to play 7 people per game.
-

-
jim

-

Hi Jim
Digital port seems to be the best for games. I was on Shedevils Bubble Shoot the other night with about 46,000 and some points and still going strong when the site just logged me out for no apparent reason. I was not amused to say the least and feel that I can't play on sites I can't trust. the same thing keeps happening to Jackie, do you have any such problems with it.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Alan..

hi alan
-
digitalport as been a right pig for me to.i cant send a message, keep getting the 0-of 5 posts thing
-
do you remember to tick the little box, i think it as something to do with you staying on.
-
also when you use the url, click the arcade to the left, then signin,
-
the first part is the forum, and tends to go kaput, use the arcade to enter first from the http://www.digitalport.co.uk
-
hope this solve the problem,i cant go to the lib today my drain is blocked and im on a 24 hour standby,could be today or tomorrow before they come.
-
did jackie get on the gamedriven this time,(you have to use a normal email addy, they dont acsept the yahoo,hotmail, for some reason.jim
-
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND JACKIE

Thanks Jim, Which little box do I tick. Nice to catch you online at the same time for once. How are thing with you today. Cheers Alan.

hi alan
-
where you put the user and p/word, there is a small square box, make sure it as a tick in it, and remember, to change to the arcade first.
-
the usual fiasco for new year, as i said im stuck in for 24 hours waiting to get my drain sorted, and next wed if not this, i need a rad on the heating replacing.
-
apart from that im ok.lol
-
my neice as just moved to mablethorpe to live the thursday before xmas, so all thats left in my area now is ratface her son, my lodger, a pain in the backside.as he,s on the housing books i cant just ask him to move on,its the old catch 22.
-
before i froget a lady called lindaw---- sent a reply to me from you by mistake, i have sent her a reply to say she needs to send again to you jim

That will be linda on the parrot forum. I sent a set happy new year email to all the addresses in my address book, so I wonder if replies to it go to all the addresses on it, and those that reply with a new email like yourself only come to me. Whoops that should cause a few surprizes the if thats the case.

hi alan
-
its the only one thats come here up to now.not sure how it happened,its been over a year since i had my own pc, so ive forgotten a lot of things.
-
did the arcade idea let you back on the digitalport.its been having problems for a while now, i only play the games, im barnstormer on the port one,i think im top on a few games, unless the the thing as wiped the scores yet again lol.
-
still no drain man, so ive no chance of going out today, to windy anyway lol jim

I've just come on here and lookes at "hi there" thread, it said last reply 3 days ago, I can't believe that it has been so long since I was on here, anyway have you got your drains sorted yet.
I ticked the box on shedevils and it has stopped logging me out, but it still doesn't allow me to register my score on "Bubble Shooter" when I get a personal best. I should be in 2nd place now on that one.
It puts me of playing. I don't have any trouble with "Marble Motion"
as you can see i'm No 1

hi alan
-
it might be a glitch on the game, send a personal message to shedevil(tina) and tell her what happening, then she can sort it.
-
a few people are having a problem with the fish challenge, as when it get to the end it wont stop, im jimcracker on that, and in 2nd place, i could take first, but knitnsew is a friend.
-
are you on the shedev as crazyace and the digital as well, in barnstormer on the digi one.
-
i was on the messeger with tina this afternoon, she said the messaging is ok on the digital, and you can get on from the main page without the arcade now.
-
its not what you know,lol its who you know, and if you know the site owner it helps lol
-
i wont be on the pc till monday at 1pm till 3pm,i,ll find either you or jackie and try a message.
you wont be able to find the a to z list, but this is the way to get to it,after your logge on.
-
http://www.digitalport.co.uk/digital/memberlist.php?do=getall
-
you will see the a to z section along the top jim

Sorry Jim,
Been off line for a while, I got hooks from a malicious site on my computer. I have had to totally re-install and I have lost a lot of stuff. including access to my web site until I get another web building program. I also had Microsoft Office Pro. I'm sure it came ready installed on the computer but it's gone anyway, and I need it for my ECDL course. So I am busy at the moment trying to rebuild everything the best I can without money.
Cheers Alan..

hi alan
-
i wondered where you had gone to
-
im in crapper at the lib as well, someone as managed to acsess something they shouldnt, although there was a firewall called cleanfeed in place. so we all get penalized for it, anf the wall as been raised so now i cant get on the driven games, or one of my forum i was using.
-
didnt you have a good firewall, and antivir on the system.
-
you need to download the avg antivir,it watches the files and emails you have.
-
just put avg in the google and you will find the antivir.
-
another i used was, lukefilewalker. to find this you go into google, put in the search antivir, look for the personal one, it will be and umberella symbol.these are both free.
-
this is one you can also acsess, but dont put in harddrive, open it and use the stinger, then just delete, but keep the macafee page on the favourites.
-
http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger
-
when you acsess the macafee page, you want the stinger one only,click the stinger link and follow the instructs,remeber dont acsess into drive, use the open option, then run the stinger, you can run it as many times as you want, then just delete off, and if you need again just acsess the macafee stinger page again jim

Hi Jim what changes can we expect now that Virgin have joined in at Telewest. My web free space has nearly doubled, the trouble is i have lost the copy on my computer which I edit it with. So I might have to clear it all off and Start again.

hi alan
-
from what ive heard on the grapevine, everything will be the same, just a new look, and you will have on broadband 3 options to emails, one is ntl, another will be virgin, or you can keep the blueyonder one.
-
i think this is also for the active emails to.as the 999 channel asnt said anything on the active or emails on the info thing, it looks lke we will have to see whats happening, there is also a new 119 channel, thats to do with virgin to come out, and later virginmedia are bringing out a v-box or something, that can record two channels while you watch one.
-
check out www.virginmedia.com, its replaced the telewest/blueyonder homepage.
-
the tv packages are to be renamed medium. large and extra large, jim

Sorry this took so long. Busy studying for my ECDL and I keep forgeting to come on the site. I have sussed out most of the changes now which as you say are not that much different from before. It's a shame they have fallen out with Sky though, not that that will effect Jackie and I as we never watch Sky programs anyway. I have finally got my web site back but I have had to use their Sitebuilder set up as my dreamweaver 4 would not upload to them for some reason and I couldn't sort it. Site builders ok but it is very limited in what it will do, so the site quality in not as good. you can't beat WYSIWYG software. Alan..
