EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

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.

Pinky Status

Post by Hengry » Thu Oct 24, 2013 12:42 pm

Hi all!
As suggested by DG - Hengry's intro:

I still have all five digits on both hands and pray to keep it that way. I might be a disappointment to most of you as the bike I ride has pedals, and my knowledge of motorcycles is novice at best. But I've been aware of Ootmik for years now and have met several members as they've come through town, staying the night at Rench's place, who is my brother. He's suggested more than once that I check out the boards, and really it's past due as I've been sporting UTMC stickers on my vehicle and explaining "it's a cult, not a club" and "they're the good guys".
It's a pleasure to meet you all.

Fuck almighty, you mean it has a brother? Oh, jeez, I'd just assumed there was only one of him (other than the Renchlette and the Renchita)...

WELCOME!

Presumably you've noticed your brother still maintains all his digits, much to my dismay. Still, I owe Chi-town a visit sometime, and now that there are two of you perhaps I can make the trip worth my time...

Welcome Hengry. I'm finishing up a moto-free season myself, having committed to getting back on my bicycle for health and pleasure. I'm a road guy who enjoys riding on bad roads and trails, so I'm really enjoying the current 'gravel' trend in the bicycle world. What kind of riding do you like?

Jaeger, you're welcome in the Windy City any time. And to clear up any confusion right away...I'm Rench's sister, not brother.

Pattio - I pedal on pavement mostly running errands, blowing off steam and sometimes the first leg of my work commute to the train station. Nothing exciting, just working the heart and lungs a bit.

I saw the posts and pics of the acoustic ride at doom. That looked jangleplatz!

Welcome to one of our utmc inside jokes... We found ourselves using that superlative of awe too much, so someone tweaked the board to recognize and swap the word for our own version. It's pretty jangleplattes.

He didn't trick you into buying that shitty jeep with the portillos stickers did he? that thing was a billboard of UTMC and hotdogs.

Now go get a motorcycle. fuck buy the buell off schmucko when the EBR intros the new Uly like motorcycle he'll be buying that anyway. mark my words, Susan will never be able to stop him, sucker probably already has money stashed in the walls for it.

As for pinkys, I think a pinky toe would be suitable favor from a bicyclist.

I see Rench's Acknowledgement and raise him some kind of overly emotional display of affection to embarrass him in front of his friends…
