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

My name is Feisor and I am an ACE (Assistant Community Editor) here at h2g2. It's my job to welcome you to the site and hopefully show you around a little. I AM a real person, not an automated reply not an automated reply not an automated reply .

Welcome to h2g2 – not just the friendliest on-line community but an incredibly huge, living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. It’s compiled by researchers just like you and it's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that.

You have made a great start by opening your space You obviously know your way around GuideML I hope when you get to know us a little better you'll tell us a little about yourself - but there's no rush - and it's not compulsory

We ACEs are volunteers here to assist new researchers so if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
You can leave a message on my space just by clicking on my name at the top of this message or by hitting the reply button below - it won't hit back (usually).

I have made a "Hints and Links for New Researchers" page at <./>A719840</.> - if you go there it will lead you to all sorts of places which will help find your way around and get to know this wonderful place. It should keep you busy for a while

Oh, and don’t forget to bookmark not only your space but the H2G2 <./>FrontPage</.> - it’s a great way to stay in touch with what’s happening and leads to all sorts of corners which you may otherwise miss.

I am sure that you will love this community as much as we do There's lots of things to see, clubs to join and people to meet - please don't be shy - just jump right in - this is a friendly place. But be careful - it can become quite addictive - believe me I know



Enjoy!!
Have fun!!!
and above all !!!


Feisor

You know where to find me if you have any questions (just drop a line here - I'll get back to you asap)

Thank you! Have a wonderful experience today!

I try to make every day a wonderful experience - it doesn't always work, but I try

Some days are better than others.
Keep positive and keep hanging upside down

That was part of a song.
I think Leonard Cohen has great foresight and I like his songs.

Yeah, I don't mind some of his stuff - but I think I have to be in the mood for it.

I'm more of a Harry Chapin sort of person I think

jolly good

I seem to have a problem with my space, Feisor.
The footnote appears at the top rather than the bottom of the squirrel picture where it should be. Any suggestions?

This might help ... I found it at A264520

'Footnotes go between and tags, and they should be complete sentences: in other words they must start with a capital letter and end with a full stop or ellipsis (ie three full-points in a row like this...). The position of the footnote is also important: insert it directly after the word you intend to add the footnote to, before any comma, full stop or parenthesis after that word. In other words this is correct:

Unless you've been dipped in lemon or lime juice1, you shouldn't use the word this way.

which is implemented with:

Unless you've been dipped in lemon or lime juiceIn which case you have bigger problems., you shouldn't use the word this way.

The following, however, is wrong:

Unless you've been dipped in lemon or lime juice,2 you shouldn't use the word this way.

which would be (erroneously) implemented with:

Unless you've been dipped in lemon or lime juice,In which case you have bigger problems. you shouldn't use the word this way.

It's pretty easy to spot once you get used to looking at the punctuation in relation to the superscripted number."

It looks to me that you have positioned the footnote in the wrong place

Thanks for all the lime pickle.

I couldn't understand a single word of what you are saying and it looks to me like I have put the footnote in the correct place.

It is something to do with all the writing at the bottom of my intro that is turning things upside down. So not to worry. I will have to sort out the problem myself.

I'm pleased to see you have stopped spamming me, at least.

I hope you have a good day.

Have you looked at the link that I left you?

Try this ....

Don't know if it will fix it - but it's worth trying

If you are stuck - why not try one of the Gurus


"I'm pleased to see you have stopped spamming me, at least."
What do you mean by this?

The last time I was communicating with you a 'spam' thing came up on the computer. I was working in a call centre at the time. I did tell them about it. Perhaps it was a trojan.

Apologies if it wasn't from you.

No ... wasn't me - apology accepted

Thank you.

I have done as you suggested but the footnote is still at the top.

I think this:




is what is causing it, but I am not sure why.

I've decided to remove it.
See you.

The page looks good anyway

Thank you. Now to write a 'non-judgemental' entry about squirrels. I can see this is going to be quite contraversial.
