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.

I see flaws. Door opens and you lose a lot of space inside automatically. Hey sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Notice the No Parking sign above it. Engineer the door to open out and to the side scooping parking violator's vehicles out of the way.

Yeah, I kind of view that garage door like a hardtop convertible. Neat design but impracticle.
And as to the Enterprise, R/C modeling is one of those frustrated hobbies I endeavored toward as a child/teenager but never really invested in beyond the Tyco 9.6v cars and boats that stocked the shelves at xmas time. I enjoyed the shit out of them, and always wanted to get into the "big" r/c stuff but could never bring myself to pull the trigger.

I love disguised doorways and secret passageways in general. I'd love to have something like this even if I didn't strictly need it for urban space reasons. Parking in SF is rough, and in the context of my memories of what it was like to try and live there with vehicles, this particular setup is staggeringly awesome. The city should freaking _require_ homes to install this. I think trading one (public and hotly contested) curb space for four private (but provably local) spaces is a plus for the cityscape.

Neat. Not the only or the best way to do it, but still neat.

When I redid the upstairs in our old house I made the attic door in the office into a bookshelf. Kind of problematic because when you pull it shut again everything tends to fall off, so there really isn't anything on it and it looks, well, odd. OH, well.
Also kind of hard to insulate.

Probably done that way because the building code requires it :P

If so, a solid solution to a retarded problem, if it's just a vanity project, it's pretty fucking worthless.

I don't know. That garage looked fairly deep. Neat idea.
