EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!
click her for the instant fix
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.

Neat. But, apart from the Top Gear brand and "Jessica" by the Allman Brothers, that is an absolutely, totally different show from the current, much, much better Top Gear, isn't it?
I mean, it's about cars and things. I really do like bikes, but with the presenters being actually earnest and competent, and not even in the last eccentric, I did find this a bit boring.

This from the current incarnation of Top Gear is a much more interesting episode. They do a little bit about bikes, from about 8:15.
But if you haven't already, I recommend you watch the whole thing from the start.

I have seen all the "new" Top Gear episodes at least once except the new ones that haven't aired on BBC America yet but will be on in a few weeks.

Well, then you know the Vietnam special. I didn't mean to accuse you of ignorance in that regard.

I didn't mean to suggest that you did, I am just letting you know I am a fan. I even have a "I am the Stig's fat cousin" t-shirt! :mrgreen:


That's me!

Hehe, I might actually go back to wearing t-shirts for such a shirt, except that absolutely no-one in jerryland has any clue who the Stig is. Even with the bit of english most people know, they'll wonder how a stick has family.

I get asked constantly what the Stig is when I wear it.
