WELCOME to my brand new LHC forum

Post by Xymox » Wed Nov 11, 2009 1:56 pm

Hi !

Welcome to my forum to discuss CERN's Large Hadron Collider. All topics are welcome.
Post a message here and say hi to the group.

This forum is brand new and so is the web site. I have been following the LHC for 9 years . I started updating my friends on it while it was still in its design stage 8 years ago. The email list grew and it became obvious it needed a bigger format as we approached the actual science phase of the LHC and so I created the web site and this forum.

The LHC portal on the web site is designed to make navigating the vast jungle of CERN's web easier to use and to get the important links in one place. The focus on the LHC Portal is live machine data. What is it doing right now.

I need moderators, send me a message if you wish to moderate a forum.

** CERN employees or collaborators - send me a message and I will add special permissions to your account and explain these in the message.

We have a email reflector which is where I send alerts to. I recommend joining this group
You can add yourself to the group to receive these alerts and discussions. This was the original list I used in keeping everyone up to date on happenings at CERN.
http://groups.google.com/group/lhc-portal I can also add you just PM me.

You can choose different style/looks for this forum. This is the Black Pearl Style. Go to User Control Panel, Board Preferences, And choose a "board style.
The ProSilver and Pro_ubuntu Styles are really good with widescreen monitors. These do not just change the colors of the forum, but change the entire layout. You can change Styles by There are MANY Styles to choose from that make the forum look completely different. Look through these and if I dont have it let me know and I will add it for you. http://www.phpbb3styles.net/db/?st=&sk=d&sd=d

Have fun !

:D

Welcome seedyjay.

I am also looking forward to fun discussions !

I am also open to suggestions on the forum... I am thinking about creating a catagory for the experiments, a forum for each one separate..

Everyone, I am very interested in turning this into a great place to discuss these topics. Let me know of any suggestions you may have.

Oh ?

Hmm....

Well go to User Control Panel, Board Preferences, And choose a "board style.

AeroBlue is nice.

There is quite a selection. If you see another style here http://www.phpbb3styles.net/db/?st=&sk=d&sd=d you like, I will add it. Just let me know..

First post, this...just found this site after years of poking about in the official CERN website. Must say this makes access far more rapid and effective. Well done!!

Now anticipating the first collisions!!
