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.

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.

bad news update

Post by spectre » Thu Mar 16, 2006 8:14 pm

This goes back to a post i made last fall. At that time we found out that my wife has cancer . Well , 6 chemo treatments later the 10 pound mass has been shrunk to about 2 pounds. A bunch of test, and more doctors have told us a lot of new words like, stem cell transplant ,sounds complicated, but just another page in this adventure. She is pretty stoked about her hair being a 1/4 of an inch long, but that will most likely fall out again. Still have that helpless feeling ,just wish i could do something more for her. She was pretty impressed by your prayers and well wishes last fall , thanks . Okay i am done venting.

I'm glad to hear that there is some progress. You guys are in my thoughts, and I hope that the new treatments will continue this progress.
Again, if there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask.

Add Seattle to the list of places where people are praying for you (or whatever non-religious people do). You and your wife are in our thoughts.

My sister was diagnosed with lymphoma last fall, right before Thanksgiving in fact, she recently finished her chemo and is starting radiation next month, I know (to some exent) what you're going through. My prayers are with ya bud, stay strong.
p.s. I didn't do it intentionally, but I stopped cutting my hair when I found out. It hasn't been this long since college, now I'm thinking maybe if I stick with it I can donate a wig...

This cancer shit is a real pisser if there ever was one. Don't feel helpless! Just be the best you can be and love alot. Get out and live, plan for the future, and if there is a comedy club near by both of you get over there and laugh your asses off. It quite good for the immune system where cancer is concerned, studies have shown, it could help.

About a year and a half ago, a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. She, ofc, lost her hair eventually from the treatments. In show of support for her, a couple other friends and I shaved our hair. She loved it. I still keep my hair cut very short. Partly for her, partly for me as I found I like it.

It was looking like for a while that she was beating the cancer, but now it's starting to intensify (is that right?) and she may not make it.

spectre- my best thoughts are to you and her. laugh together. love together.
