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!

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.

Grow your own potatos, tomatos ...

... IN ONE PLANT!
This might be interesting for anyone with their own little vegetable garden. I'm certain some people around here grow their own ... something.
You know how you need a bit of room for a few tomato plants, and a bit of room for your potato plants?
Well, not anymore!

Well, how about that. Genetic engineering has finally produced the sort of super-food-crop-plant-badger-fish-pandemic we've been waiting for all these decades.
Leah Hyslop on telegraph.co.uk wrote:The hybrid plants are not a product of genetic engineering, but are each individually hand-grafted. Like potatoes, tomatoes are members of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which makes them compatible for grafting.
Wait, WHAT? And it took all the way to 20bloody13 for someone to come up with this?!?! Wouldn't this have been perfect for WW2 victory gardens and suchlike? They had the technology!

Those tomatoes are of the small, cherry variety. Which is cool, though the big ones would be a little more impressive. But the potatoes look regular sized:

I think potato plants survive the removal of the actual potato from their root system, but can someone more knowledgeable on, well, relevant matters like food, clarify this?


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.

Both potatos and tomatos die at the end of the season.

I'd cry about it, but my mouth is full of stew!

That's pretty damn cool and all w/o the use of genetic tinkering, good ol' fashioned grafting.
