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.

Yesterday was the first range day. They gave me a little Suzuki GZ250 kind of like this:

, and we start doing little clutch drills, rocking back and forth, "power walking" etc. All fun stuff. After a little while George, the "rider coach" comes over to me and says "What are you doing here?"
So we started chatting, I told him that it's faster to take the class than to wait through the DMV appointment system for a riding test, and that everyone I've ever talked to has learned something. George is a cool guy, he said something about how he had to take the class so he could be an instructor. So I started asking what it takes to be one of their coaches. Well it just so happens that they are in need of a couple people, and that once I get through the class he highly recommended that I talk to his boss and apply!
I'm stoked! I walk into the class, and maybe walk out with an awesome job! It's perfect for my student lifestyle at just a few days a month, and it would pay more hourly than any job I've ever had. Plus it would be my first moto industry type job. Fingers are firmly crossed!
