EVERYTHING IS MARKED UNREAD!!

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.

NOT the Sons of Anarchs (possible Schwag)

Post by DerGolgo » Sat Feb 02, 2013 11:15 am

I just had some delicious dinner at the Chinese restaurant next door, with my friends Suse and Gerd.
Compared to Suse in particular, I'm an utter reactionary.
So when she was browsing the tv schedule and saw a show "Sons of Anarchy", she, of course, made sure she watched it. It took her a few episodes until she noticed that, no, while what was shown may be considered anarchy by some, no references to Bakunin, Kropotkin, Emma Goldman or others would follow.
But it did give her an idea.
She's got this subscription with "Vistaprint", you see, where she can get a free t-shirt every month, printed with whatever image she supplies. I helped designing it a bit, unfortunately they'll only print the front, not the back, but it's close enough to an MC patch without being so close it might upset actual 1%ers.

This is it:

Up close:

It's the image that is that crappy, the quality of the print is actually quite nice (though not expensive screen printing).

Pictured are, from left to right:
Subcomandante Marcos of the Chiapas Rebels, Emma Goldman, Joe Hill,Buenaventura Durruti, Mikhail Bakunin and Emiliano Zapata. There was slight confusion when I was handed the shirt yesterday, I apologize.
The thing is, Suse is devoted to spreading the message, so...if you want one like that, pm me your email address and I'll pass it along. She can either email you the source image or arrange for a printed shirt to be shipped to you. The cost of that would require further research with Vistaprint, but she has paypal, so that's not a particular problem, either.

EDIT again: Corrected the list of people pictured. Firm cost for printing and shipping of shirts is below.

If there were absolutely anything to be afraid of, don't you think I would have worn pants?

That's pure jangleplatz!!! I'm not paying that sort of money for a t-shirt, however! Shirt, maybe. Shipping, no way.
It's still absolutely hilarious.

Just got word:
Three shirts, with shipping directly to the US included, would be 31.25 Euros, about $ 42.69 with today's exchange rate according to google. About 14.23 per shirt. Not particularly cheap, admittedly, but like I said, say the word, you'll get the source image for free and can get your own printing done.

Also, correction on the list of persons pictured.
The correct list, from left to right is:
Subcomandante Marcos , Emma Goldman, Joe Hill,Buenaventura Durruti, Mikhail Bakunin and Emiliano Zapata. There was slight confusion when I was handed the shirt yesterday, I apologize.
