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.

having fulfilled my paternal obligations to my sons.

Last Friday was my American grandfather's deathday--he diied July 8, 1985. One thhing he and I loved doing whenever we were together was watch the Three Stooges. He couldn't get enough of them, neither could I. Nothing better than those times we spent together (and he wasn't, and I'm not a real TV guy).

I sat down my boys and explained to them the importance of July 8, and why we were going to watch the disks I got from Netflix. I popped some popcorn, and that evening we watched the Stooges for like 3 hours, and I haven't heard them crow so loud, over and over and over, all night. One of the best times I've had in ages. They made me promise we'd do it again next year.

Man, I wish my Grandpa could have been there.

Very cool. Those are the memories that'll last. I still remember watching Perry Mason with my granddad when he came home for lunch. <happysigh>

My old man and I used to stay up STUPID LATE to watch Laurel and Hardy reruns followed by 1930's episodes of Buck Rogers. We laughed so hard and loud we'd usually wake my mom and sister up. You'll definitely remember these moments, as will your kids.
Cheers,

Yup. That's exactly how it was with my Grandpa and me when I visuted my grandparents in Georgia. It was usually late at night. And Grammaw never understood.

Easy now, it's not like I'm mmaking any sacrifices watching the Stooges and scarfing down popcorn and Doritos.
