Hi Lisa Welcome to h2g2

I'm Emmily one of the many <./>ACEs</.> (Assistant Community Editors) We're here to offer you a warm welcome advice & links to help you find your way around, I see creachy has already welcomed you, and offered you some helpful links, I'll offer you some more, you'll be spoilt for choice

I'm a real person not an automated computer programme to find out about me click on my name above this conversation post you can do that on anyones name in any conversation thread

Have a & some put your feet up relax & let your fingers do the walking

You can click on any of the links

I see you've been asking about a chatroom, h2g2 is more of a conversation forum, than a chatroom.

If your accessing via a digibox you may find these links helpful
Friends of Leisure District - U201567
Plain Skin - A948602 developed to help digibox users
The FoLDers Arms - A913150
ye oLDe tea shoppe - A1017028

You can click <./>userdetails</.> or 'Preferences' on the screen to change your number to a name or to change the skin (background) there are 3 to choose from brunel alabaster or classic goo you might like to experiment a bit see which one you prefer to use

You might like to hitch a ride on our <./>DontPanic-Tour</.>

These are just a few of the great list of <./>Smileys</.> you can choose from

The slang used here can be a bit confusing h2Jargon - A632431 or h2g2 Glossary - A901829 explains most of it

You can customise your space using what is available through h2g2 Spicing up Your Page - A690518 gives some good advice I'm also a Guru so I can help with any GuideML problems you may have

You may find 'Hints and Links for New Researchers' - A719840 useful

Like most communities we have Clubs & Societies You can find out about these - A660340

If your interested in writing for the Guide Writing-Guidelines is a good place to start

You can click this link <./>RandomEditedEntry</.> Though where it goes nobody knows

Another couple of things we have a tag which displays the name of the researcher visiting the page so don't be concerned if you see your name on someone's space that researcher is just using tag some of them are quite amusing but harmless

And the 'eyes' next to a researchers name show they are online

Hope you find these helpful & you enjoy yourself here to reply to this post If you have any questions or if you just want to say 'hi' click 'reply' below

Hi Lisa

Sorry for the delay in replying, the events with the digiox users sorta took over for a few days.

I'm an ex-LDer myself, and originally came to h2g2 via magic email, learned the ropes of the site and did my fisrt few months of ACEing via digibox, still sometimes accessed via digibox as well as pc, I was very saddened that the link has been blocked, so don't worry about asking me any questions, I'll be happy to help

Not sure how many of the questions you asked you have already found the answer to...

To edit your page/space you can use this short cut <./>UserEdit?masthead=1</.> or click 'Edit Page' or similar on the right top hand of your page.

To add pictures, you first need to change your page to GuideML there's some good advice at Spicing Up Your Page - A690518 if after reading that, you'll still unsure how to do it, let me know, I'll offer you some more help.
