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.

Hey Rench, where do ya go for good blues?

A forum for the off topic stuff. Everything from religion to philosophy to sex to humor (see why it used to be called Buggery?). All manner of rude psychological abuse is welcome and encouraged.

Looks like we're going to be in your neck of the woods Aug 2-5 and were thinking about catching some real Chicago blues. You plugged in to that scene at all, want to join us? Got the bandwidth for a beer or some such any of those days?

Its not hugely my scene, but I will tell you this: House of Blues is a name only. Buddy Guy's is ACTUALLY OWNED AND OPERATED BY BUDDY FUCKIN' GUY. :mrgreen: So yeah, plan on the latter.

Secondary, I'm mostly available later that Thursday. Possibly Friday, not at all sat or sun. So yeah, PM me your number and shiznit. Or call me. Ate-fore-slevin, 312, SLAY. I won't miss a chance to hang out.

Sounds good, we'll be landing around 2-2:30 Thurs afternoon and will be staying with friends in Brookfield. No idea where that is in relation to you. Not sure what the ladies have worked up activitywise. I know we're catching Second City one night, not sure which. I'll try and figure out what the plan is and if bandwidth permits we can hook up for a beer or some such.

Kingston Mines - and stay late, that's when the local flavor gets a little more flavorful.

Thanks for the intro to Italian beef, hope the TN acquisition exceeded expectations. We never did make it out for blues, got soaked in the thunderstorm that blew out everyone's power and were too soggy to want to sit in a club. Next time.
