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.

Prescription discounts?

Post by rc26 » Thu Sep 08, 2011 8:54 am

Currently, I'm without medical coverage and I'm paying out the ass for 4 monthly prescriptions. Lipitor and Plavix being the worst ($450 monthly). I've been researching prescription discount plans online and I'm wondering if anyone uses one? If so, do you get good discounts?

I'd love to just get back to where I was paying $60 a month when I had prescription coverage. Any kind of discount would be great.

For 450 motherfucking dollars a month, get a gym membership and eat right and you won't have a fucking heart attack and you'll save money...

The next time you call Baltimore to beg for money to extend your vacation, I hope everyone tells you to get a job.

I believe the term is..."touche" :mrgreen:

Not knowing shit about RC26's medical conditions, I would put forth that lipitor is often used to help out with genetic levels, not just double-cheeseburger levels, and plavix is often for certain heart conditions that could be initiated by a heart attack in the first place, and no matter how healthy you are after the fact, it stays with you. Also for cetain genetic cardiac defects.

But I'm an enabler. It's what I do.

what rench said.

there is the health you make with your own lifestyle, and then there is the health you inherited from your family. (lucky for me, i'm pretty much doomed)

try calling the companies directly and see what kind of a deal they can make for you. it's worth a try.

Have you asked your doctor for cheaper alternatives?

The internets tell me that Plavix is such a big earner for it's manufacturers they do what they can to keep generica out of the US market, but maybe there's some generic form of Atorvastatin (Lipitor) which would work for you?
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.

I picked up prescriptions tonight. The Pharmacist hooked me up and was able to knock off $43 on 2 of them. I'll take it.

Yes, the Plavix is a must. Non-medicated stent after a heart attack.
