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.

the state of the sun report

Post by sun rat » Tue Jul 19, 2011 5:16 am

if i drop german to a minor i graduate in december. if i don't, who knows.
if i get the german department head to sign off on goethe institute classes in the spring as a study abroad for credit it could be a may graduation. but i pissed her off when i complained about the quality of the last class i took with her. so it's unlikely. i wanted to get my master's degree in koln, but my dismal showing this summer has dashed all those hopes.

i was supposed to go to russia this summer but the visa processing company had their heads up their asses, and stating plainly to my face that they forge shit all the time didn't exactly inspire confidence. were they joking? i have no idea. the lack of communication from the teacher in charge, well other than her promise of prayers for me and encouraging me to have faith... i dropped out of the study abroad.

i'll go ahead and apply for grad school at ut austin though i know i won't be able to actually live there.
and i will go ahead and get a certificate for teaching english as a foreign language. and i might go study at the goethe institute again in the spring anyways. but in freiburg this time.

so basically i am in limbo. wtf am i doing? i have no fucking clue. where the fuck am i going? again, no fucking clue. all i know for certain is that right now juggling two summer classes and martial arts is kicking my ass.


oh yeah, and this fall i will have either 6 or 7 kids in college. one of my formerly most problematic kids will have her BA in anthropology in may after a uni career of almost constantly being on the dean's list. so at least i know the kids will all be varying shades of "ok" no matter what happens to me.


fuck it all.
