EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.

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.

Northernmost US cell, anyway.
Awaiting MyLittlePony's official electronic okay from the site admin. He's the guy with the zippy little RD350. And a BMW. And incidentally both pinkies.
He's good people.

I love My Little Ponies. The unicorn is my fave (of course). Welcome!

But to be clear, Seattle (which is 100 miles south of the border) is further north than the northernmost reaches of Maine.

Right. Seattle, 47.62N, Fort Kent, 47.25N. I'm secretly hoping that Canada will annex us.
But does it snow there?

Not sure we can claim Northernmost of the lower 48 either. WA, ID, MT & MD are all bordered by the 49th. I assumed that was as far north as it got, but I noticed there is a little pocket of Minnesota that extends a few miles north. It is only accessible by boat or Canada.

No matter how this turns out, 51°28′55″N wishes you all the best!
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.
