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

There is three people in this house who would like to have their own page.
I presed don't panic and they told me to go to Home page and click on the link just after their email address ( the one that says Click here if this is not your email address( This will take you to the registration screen. Well I have tried this and I cant find the word that says click here if this is not your e/mail address. Please Help!

I take it all three people are using the same computer?

Couldn't they just click on the logout thing on the left when they're done?

yes thanks Ian that is what I was about to suggest!

*looks sheepish*

Sorry - thought you'd gone, and that being in a time zone where my login times coincided more closely with theirs I'd try to be helpful! Didn't mean to step on your toes.

That does not work!!!!!!!! I have been going round in circles for 2 weeks!!!!!!
My brother came by tonight and he tried and he is brilliant with computers but he also could not get it to work. He thinks we will have to get another e/mail address set up and is going to ask one of his friends about it as he has 2 e/mails.
Not unless you know someone else to ask??????? 8

I'm pretty sure the deal at h2g2 is one email address can only be used by one researcher - each researcher needs their own addy

It would only be one resercher with one e/mail address.
There is three people in this house who want to be reshers.
My brother my Mum and myself.

Ok - so each of you register using their own email address - when the registration email for each user arrives you should keep it & use the registration link in it to login. You can even bookmark/favourite each of the ones for the 3 users.

If you don't want to use the email links you can go to http://www.h2g2.com/register.cgi & enter your email address once you've registered. This is also where the new users should register.

hope it helps

Thanks Bruce you are a star!

Hope this helps, Hurry up and wait!

Thans for all your help i now have to wait for my brother to setup new e/mail address!!
He comes to our house at the weekend. bye for now.

Have fun - let us know how it works out

The simplest thing to do is to buy two new computers and have two more phone lines put in. Then everyone is happy and everyone can be on Aitchtu Jeetu at the same time.

oh Vestie!!!!!

Hi everyone !!!!!
My son came along tonight on the way home from work and got me another e/mail number so I can have my own Home page. This is great. I will now be able to have fun on my own. Do you have a site for golden oldies like me.??? I am 47 probally the age of your Mums. Just to say thank you for all your help.

"I am 47 probally the age of your Mums" - I wouldn't bet any real money on that

already counting the 21st birthday anniversaries

No, surely the *simplest* thing is to buy three more computers - one each for the other two researchers, and have the third one as a server. Then simply buy an ethernet hub, and run DHCP and automatic dial out with some internet connection sharing scheme on the server. (Various approaches for doing this exist.)

Then anyone can come in, plug their laptop into your house network, and get instant access to h2g2 with no further fuss.

(Or is it only my house that's like this? )

Stop showing off Ian!!!

I'm 52. Does that make me the oldest person here? Is there a forum for the almost moribund?

I am not sure - the site has got so big I find it hard to keep track of. But it is a good idea!
