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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES

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.

Oh the good ole times when the Hamburg PD still used BMWs. Now they're testing HD bikes, don't know if they keep them though. That cartoonist btw is from my hometown Hamburg and I have pretty much all his books. Didn't know that they're available in the US now. Cool!
If at first you don't succeed,

They gave them back already...turning radius too big, generally not manouverable enough, too difficult to ride and something about operative and repair costs.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

i have a copy of a police write up on the BMW R1150RTP done by the colorado springs PD. they determined after careful study that some 98% of all the accidents suffered by motor officers in the CSPD over the last 5 years would have been prevented had they been on the beemer. the attributed this to FAR better handling and manuverability and ABS brakes.

then of course they inked a new contract with harley (so i've heard).

Yah, it's a series of comic books called "Motomania" by a certain Holger Aue. He's including himself in some of the stories, in fact he's the guy with the round glasses and straight nose who's not on the Laverda. Rides old Kwakas and italians as far as I know. I couldn't identify his bike though.
