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.

Congrats! My daughter and I are gearing up for our purple-belt tests. My son already got his (but he doesn't get to learn all the REALLY cool stuff yet).

Good on her and I hope she keeps it up!
Cheers,
Ames.

Congrats.
I myself am a high brown, injuries keep holding me back.
My oldest daughter (10) is a brown belt and my youngst son is a high green.

I the best is when they spar, they are all smiles.

a link to a photo gallery of their first tournament.
Charlie won his age and rank, Cecilia took second and my oldest son.... he got schooled and learned a valuable lesson about the need to practice.

That is jangleplatz!

The stuff I play with now I don't want my five year old to learn yet, so I'm shopping for a competent "kick-punch" school that isn't tournament driven, at least until later ages. We have one school here that aggressively point-spars kids five and up. I don't see that as a good thing. Only problem with the local Tae-Kwon-Do guy is I have dealt too much with him in real life to trust him with my kid.
Anyone have any resources on training your own kids?
