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.

Confession... There's an App for that!

A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

Confession... There's an App for that!

Post by Jaeger » Tue Feb 08, 2011 11:16 am

Soliciting thoughts from our resident Catholics...

Catholic Church Approves Confession App

Image
Described as "the perfect aid for every penitent", it offers users tips and guidelines to help them with the sacrament. The app takes users through the sacrament - in which Catholics admit their wrongdoings - and allows them to keep track of their sins. It also allows them to examine their conscience based on personalised factors such as age, sex and marital status - but it is not intended to replace traditional confession entirely. Instead, it encourages users to understand their actions and then visit their priest for absolution.

Wait for Google Ad Words support.
Get instant notifications of how many hail marys are required to make up for looking up "image of an ass".

Streamlining it with billing the appropriate indulcences right to your credit card (or paypal, if you prefer) will be the next step, I'm sure.
The mid 21st century catholic will be calling up the diocese hotline to contest the charges for eight hours of sloth, each night, he finds on his monthly statement.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

Number three, "Have I been involved with superstitious practices or have I been involved with the occult?" Doesn't that apply to religion in general? :shock:

Oh goodie. Now I can feel even guiltier. Didnt know you sined onthat particular instance? There is an app for that. Oddly its the same resoult as the old method....just assume that you did.

Now I guess I could instantly confess? But I still have to go to confession? Not seeing the point really.

Excepting that this is no different than a printed pamphlet that says the same stuff. This isn't an i-phone confession, it's just a guide designed to help Catholics examine their consciences.

Aw, man, I was hoping it was dishing out penance. I can see the coders now: "Hey, what sort of algorithm should we use to determine the sinfulness of masturbation?"
