EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

Show
First fix:
  • open the menu at the top
  • hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
  • go back to the Forum Index
  • open the menu at the top again
  • click Mark forums read
    this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.


Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.

Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.

PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.


Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

Tangent, but related. Went and looked at a house today that was built in 1776. If we buy it, there will be a Gadsden flag in the front yard. :D

Gonna skirt the Crapital and watch them fireworks from the Iwo Jima Memorial with my kids like I used to do back in the day when I was married. Fun, yet bittersweet.

I really hope I am in a more celebratory mood during future Independence Days... right now? A little frustrated with the good ole US of A. Wish I could find a way to quit bitching and come up with some solutions.

Hehe, I been off work since last Tuesday go back to the world on this coming Tuesday. Not a phone or broadband device until now in that time. It's been splendid.
Sid - I think next year we will be back to the gathering at our pad. I'll do my best to provide you a date if you have none. :P
No BIG fireworks though since I refused to sign my rights away to the ATF last renewal.

My father in law volunteered to do his neighborhood fireworks show. He then of coursed lasso'd me into helping. When one of those four stack artillery shells goes off 10 feet out of the tube it gets your attention. The kids enjoyed the shoe though. Hope everyone else survived.
