Your personal space got deleted from under me, so I became extra suspicious about its (non-)contents! I think you forgot to put the full HREFs for your alabaster, brunel and classic U# + (32-bit max) experiments.

Thanks for the tip! Turns out it automatically converts them to point to your current skin. You can get around that by using "/skin/../skin/" instead of "/skin/" in the URL ..

OK. Though now they show up on view-source (Edit with Notepad) as longer than they need to be? I'm not sure if this reflects what you actually typed since I'm not you and don't get to actually edit your space! I suppose you need to try it while not logged in as well as when you are.
Now for your next trick you can tell me why the TestUserPage on you U# and Test of the actual A# attached both claim your personal space is in fact deleted. U says "This Guide Entry Has Been Deleted" whereas A says the author did it! I'm not sure those messages are conceptually the right way round, but they shouldn't really be showing up anyway given that you _do_ have content. I was thinking of reporting you as a bug in your own right - though a rather fine one of course! I compared you with a genuine deletion and an unsuspecting newbie (ie no personal stuff created). Both give the text for tesing U and have no A at all. However, these don't have a "Leave A Message" button with their "Add To Friends" one, whereas you do. Again it may make a difference whether you are logged on (as self or doppleganger) or not.

Yep they are meant to be longer, it's the only way I could find to get around them being changed to your current skin.
It says they are deleted because they are! 
But for some reason even if your introduction page is marked as deleted, it still gets displayed as your introduction.
There is no delete option on an introduction page edit, but you can do one manually using this URL:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/Edit?&button=Delete&cmd=delete&id=123456
where 123456 is replaced by the article number without the A.
It's one way to hide your GuideML code on your intro i suppose, though that wasn't the intention at all. Just experimenting again ..!

Ah - but it doesn't hide the HTML version of your GuideML from those of us who know where the correct button is!

The HTML isn't much help though, is it. May I ask how you got those nice fishes?

Why is it not much help? It allowed me to see what was going wrong earlier. The fish are standard h2g2 Smiley etc graphics. If you compare the HTML stuff with the onsite stuff you should see for yourself.

Yes, the HTML does help a bit, but it gets very confusing because it was made by a machine. I have checked and i see how the fish are done, using the style attb., pity this wont work once GuideML 1.0 is released.
