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.

Yup. After 4 years of not getting back to where I'm from I've finally found the kismet of free time and cash to make the trip. The Missus, The Almost 1 year old, and myself will be flying to Aus for an almost 2 week trip.



Very excited. Highlights will be:

Fish and Chips.
Shark is the most common pescatorial delight and I plan to eat a metric shit-ton.

Pub Food.
Decent steak, medium rare, with 13 or so pints of Guinness to wash down the goodness.

Meat Pie.
Lots of meat pies. Haven't had one for so long I'm almost forgetting how to say meat pie. MEAT PIE!

Wine. Drink wine. I've got a few cases of assorted bottles that I'd put aside long ago for special occasions, and this feels special enough to give the hoard a good dent.

AJS. I'm going to do the best I can to talk my uncle into giving me one of his '48 AJS 500's. He has a couple that aren't doing much, so I think I'll test his sense of philanthropy.

Cheers. Talk to you all in a couple of weeks.

Good luck on the AJS mate, and have fun. My inlaws are going Down Under to teach a class in the spring (fall, depending on your hemisphere) adn I am trying SOOOOOO hard to get invited along as a ghillie.

Dude we have pub food in Oly, though I am sure it is not as good as the stuff from places that speak proper English.

Have fun Johny(13Pints)!
