Thank you Kate,
You have made a group of people very happy

A reminder too Kate,
We have now lost a very important sticky for this board, the Data Protection notice as people keep on trying to add personal details here and names of living people.
Thanks
Edna
Welcome Katy
Love the new smileys. Not been on here for a while come back and everything has changed. tilly
What will happen to the smilies when H2G2 closes?
Katy as h2g2 is going to be taken over and disconnected from Â鶹Éç so what will happen to the smileys you gave us
Please answer the question as we really need to know.
Edna
Don't say I am going to have to chain myself to the teacup!
Are we also going to have to lock up the choc?.
you have to do that anyhow with bertie and me around, blossom.
only if its nutty
Hi everyone
I am going to look into this for you. Sorry for the delay in seeing this thread.
Best wishes

Must warn you, if we can't keep them I'm likely to chain myself to the teacup and I know a couple who will do the same with the crisps and choc
I have had 2 emails so far supposedly from the Â鶹Éç about these saying that we have to register with the new owners they are going into my junk mail so not sure if they are right, The last one said that a lot of people have not even opened the email so what they are doing is sending everyones details in an encrypted file to the new owners and when we try to use these smilies our details will be given to the new owners.
Seems all very strange.

This is the last email I got
Dear H2G2 User,
We wrote to you recently asking if you were willing for your email address to be passed to the new owners of H2G2. You were invited to opt out of this process if you did not want this to happen.
Our analysis tells us that less than ten percent of those contacted have so far opened the email, perhaps because they do not trust that it came from the Â鶹Éç. This suggests that many of our users will not be able to make an informed decision and we have therefore decided to modify our approach. Where a user tells us not to, their details will not be passed on. Otherwise, we propose to provide the new owners with an encrypted list of email addresses and user IDs. If you choose to register with the new H2G2 website and you enter the email address we have used here, this will enable the new owners to link your Â鶹Éç user ID with your username and your email address. This means that if you were a contributor to H2G2, the new owners will be able to link your past activity/posts with any future activity on the new website.
This means that anyone who has not opted out of the process will receive an email after the sale has been concluded with a link to the new H2G2 website and its terms and conditions of use. They can then choose whether or not to register with the new H2G2 website. If they use the same email address as they used for their Â鶹Éç ID this will unlock the email address and user ID in the encrypted list we have provided.
If you do not choose to register with the new H2G2 your personal information will remain encrypted and therefore inaccessible to the new owners, and will be deleted at the end of the transition process.
If, however, you would prefer not to be part of this process and would like us to remove your email address and ID from the encrypted list, then please email us at h2g2move@bbc.co.uk.
All the best ,
H2G2 Editors
Oh what a tangled Webb ... and there are a few of us on here who know about those!

I withdrew from H2G2 because te Beeb said new owners were taking over the site. Is there any information about who is going to own it and what are the safety margins?
Judging from the peurile notices I have seen so far about Smileys and obsessions about cups of tea and cake. I think I may have made the right decision
Think you should stick to the football pages Brian if thats all you have to add to the History board.
But we show no ill feeling here so as its Christmas have some on us before we close
