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.

Oh my god - I LOVE those cards!

I usually favor making my own Xmas cards, since I have a disdain for the whole retail-commercialization aspect of the holiday:

I will post my "Merry Little-people Xmas" card when I get home because I can't find it online right now.

How can you go wrong with a holiday that has its own Ice Cream?

I'm spacing her URL, but I think Mustardseed has a selection of seasonally-appropriate cards that she's made. They're not as funny as the ones you posted, but she's a pretty good artist/illustrator. Hopefully, she and/or Jaeger can chime in here.

Hi-larious as those are, they're still Christmas themed, and my challenge is finding "holiday" cards that don't reference ANY religion (both because I'm not Christian and my mates range from Christian to Jewish to Buddhist to Wiccan and much between), and I hate having to buy individual cards!

so now I just don't send cards. Ah, how the stress level plummets!

I'm fond of "Have a happy whatever."
Or,
"May your nondenominational/non-religious holiday be filled with environmentally safe and gender appropriate joy."
Or,
"Happy HanaChristmaKwanzaaca!"

This year, due to finances everyone will probably get a Christmas adaptation of my favorite birthday card. It'll be especially entertaining to watch certain family members try to grasp why the Dali Lama is on their Christmas card, hehehe. Anyhow, on the front of the card is the Dali Lama about to open a present, standing around him in anticipation are the monks who are giving him the gift. Inside the card - Dali Lama has opened the present and is overjoyed at the contents, all of the monks are also greatly excited at the sight! The box is empty & the Dali Lama is exclaiming: "NOTHING!!!! JUST WHAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED!!!!"

Wow. Thanks for calling me out, Moto! LOL

I do have some cards for sale on GCU: http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/millefiori
They are *mostly* non-denominational. Though some are more so than others. And, alas, none of them are funny.

However if y'all have any ideas for anything in particular, I can custom-make cards for you. I believe GCU has a minimum order of 25 cards for a custom order.

One of the good things about GCU is that you can use any of the images you find on there and write your own inside copy and buy as many or a few as you want. Bad side is that it's POD so the pieces are a little higher.
