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.

Anyone have the means to transfer vhs to dvd? A friend loaned me his copy of The Rugged Road http://www.panther-publishing.com/defau ... ntentID=29, along with a vhs tape of footage shot during the journey described in the book. I don't have a vhs player anymore. :(

I can't imagine a VHS player being more than 10 or 15 bucks.
Of course, that doesn't help with making the rest of us digital copies so as we can watch it, too!!!

I have a VHS player. I have never tried hooking it up to my computer and know nothing about transferring video to digital media. You're welcome to give it a shot or borrow the VCR next time you come down south.

We have a little TV/VCR combo unit you can borrow if you just want to watch it, Thom. I think it has composite out too, so you might could route it to a PC with a decent video card and rip it to digital that way.

Can't remember if you have my digits or not, I'll PM them over. LMK if you want to borrow it for a while.

I wonder if Subversionz has a rig like that at their studio?

Thanks! :) I'll ping ya if I decide to take you up on that. Depends on if I can get some free time before I feel obligated to return it.
