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.

Things aren't always what they seem

So I'm friends on teh FB with a woman I knew years ago; we sorta dated, never slept around or anything but we'd go out and party, stay out all hours, whatever. Today she posts a thank you to her family for an awesome 35th b-day. I'm like... "Wait a minute...35 in 2013... makes her... in 1994... OMG she was only SIXTEEN????!!" I was 25 at the time! We'd go to bars and stuff!
In a way I'm kind of pissed off, but it's all water under the bridge, there's no point. I somehow feel ripped off.

Without going into agonizing detail... I totally understand, man. At the time thankfully I had someone in-the-know who sent up a red flag before things went awkward... but then I found her about 3 years later.

Tee hee hee. :mrgreen:

Maybe she was thanking them for the 35th birthday present they gave her 6 years ago? "Thankyou so much! Its still holding up great!!!" No? No?! No...
