EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

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.

This is at Loudon, track I know well, by my calculation he's doing about 1'49 laps.

In the right hands a Goldwing is a pretty capable bike, believe it or not. I saw a guy slaloming at a bike show once between traffic cones and was shocked, really. Granted its no R1, but they can hustle.
There's a video somewhere on Youtube where a guy took a supercharger from a Subaru and put it on a GW. Thing flies. Scary.

Now that's just hilarious, but I want to see him do this with his fat wife on the back, pulling a trailer, with American flags and tassels flying.

I saw the Gap video, I think it's sped up, that 1000 pond bike seems to change direction faster than my SuMo weighing 1/3 of that.

I don't think it's sped up. The audio sounds reasonable, and the opposing traffic does, too.

Not 100% sure of this, but I think the guy on the SchoolBus Yellow Wing had his bike fitted with cameras and would shoot video of other riders on the Deals Gap road. Kind of a mobile Killboy.
So, he's ridden that road more than Groove has ridden the T-Slalom. :wink:

I've seen first hand what a Wing can do with a capable pilot, they can corner embarrassingly well. A lot of people get their Wings after riding for decades on sportier machines and Honda knows it.

That Victory luxobarge does pretty good too, ask Goose.

Yup.


I've scraped pegs in the twisties on a brand new 'Wing.

'82 Kawalski GPz750
etc.
