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.

And then we take their list of customers and send each of them a "free upgrade", made from semtex.
If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

I said I have a big stick.

While I agree that there's a whole lot of stupid people that will wreak havoc on the roadways while attempting to use this at speed, it would have been a great thing to have when I was a truck driver.

Handy for doing paperwork while parked for the night at a truckstop.

If I ever get a job driving truck again and get one of these, please don't send me semtex.

Aren't truck steering wheels mounted at a much shallower angle than the steering wheels in passenger vehicles this seems to be designed for?
Not to mention a heck of a lot bigger?

I mean, would it even fit?

***EDIT***
Nevermind, it's adjustable:

Maybe old trucks, but the 1998 Mack I drove had telescope and tilt adjustments.

I thought these were designed for census takers (and their tasty livers), insurance agents, sales people, anyone who works literally out of their car to have a work space WHILE THEY ARE SITTING STILL. From that perspective, pretty ingenius.

cops have laptops mounted right of steering wheel, have seen one or two wondering all over the road while operating the laptop.

Bad idea IMHO, because if you have an opportunity, even knowing that it's wrong still might do it.
