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.

Expect the unexpected.

Post by mtne » Sat Mar 02, 2013 10:25 pm

Right after Ragnorok we found out that ladytiki was newly pregnant. Well we lost that baby not long after. Kinda fucked our world up for a while. After some testing and getting checked out the fertility docs said it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Her chemistry was all wrong, yadda yadda yadda............

so fast forward to a couple of months ago and she's having H.Pelori ulcers, antibiotics which she can't keep down, funny body pains and swelling......... 'cause the doc said it couldn't happen it wasn't even on the radar. Yup, knocked up. And the good thing all in all is that we didn't know until well into the second trimester, around 19 weeks.

Being old for a first baby she's high risk, but so far so good. 26 weeks now............

So you know that when the doctor says your partner has a .001% chance of conceiving and getting past the first trimester it's going to happen, right? :mrgreen:

Also, indeed, when doc's say that sort of things, that's the sort of thing that seems to happen. It's an old tradition or something. Way back in the day, it's what they told my parents.

We lost a little one last year, too. Totally threw me for a loop and it still fucks with my head even now. We are, however, back in the saddle and working on it.

Fantastic news that you guys have one on the way! Good vibrations being sent.

So it's time for the big update........

The kid it here. Showed up a tad early six days ago. He's on the small side but has already gained past the birth weight. Totally mellow kid, hasn't been overly fussy outside of letting us know the basic needs. Mom's been great if quite tired, handled the whole natural birth thing just fine. Interesting points, he came out with the cord wrapped around his body up and around the torso. Even luckier the cord had a natural knot in it. Had that ever gotten fully tight bad things would have happened.

So glad everything has worked out in this surprise addition to the family ... enjoy the ride that is parenthood, don't get stressed about the little stuff, remember its okay to need a break, and don't hesitate to ask for help when you need it.
