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.

Hi everyone. Long time reader, first time poster.

I'm here to put an end to Dan posting all the amusing links I send him and then taking credit for them on this here interweb-messageboard. It ends now, Dan! :wink:

And with that:

Also, I don't actually have a bike. Yet. Please don't kill me. Actually, perhaps all of you can help me with my bikedentity-crisis? I've owned scooters in the past, although at this point am pretty sure it's time for a bike (no offense to scooter riders - I still love them). However, I am still not sure exactly what would make a good first bike for this transitional period. I know BMWs are popular here, but don't you techically have to be a 40 year old orthodontist to ride one of those? :wink:

Negatendo,
Welcome, and thank you for the link to the Martian Cookbook. As an educator I'm constantly looking for lesson ideas and this is awesome for reading comprehension. Thanks!
Slash6 is right, ride what makes you happy, we could particularly give a wet slap what it is. You might, however, want to take some things into consideration first. What's your height and weight? What prior bike experience do you have (I realize you rode scooters, but trust me, they're very different beasts). And I completely recommend you take some sort of motorcycle safety class (hey, it knocks a few bucks off of insurance if nothing else).
BTW, I'm 36, have ridden a BMW for years, and do so because it's an extremely easy bike to work on (another consideration for you, do you plan to work on your bike? If so, what's your level of experience working on engines?), and have yet to wear an orange vest! :lol: [/b]
Cheers,
Ames.

Definately take the safety course, every bit helps when dealing with the moron majority in their SUV's.

What bike to choose? You'll know it when you see it, you will know you are cool with out spending an hour sitting on it looking in a mirror. Ride what makes you happy.

Ride all the bikes you can, and buy the one that makes the biggest wet spot.
You can buy status, but sucking is immutable. After a certain point, upgrading only makes you suck more ostentatiously.

:lol: I like it.

Thanks to everyone for the tips. You'll be happy to know I took a rider safety course (ABATE) a few months ago. I know very little about matenence but plan on taking a course on that too. Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to tweaking with the bike. I dunno, is that masochistic?

'sup Nega! Good to see you on the board! Me and this fella actually work together at the Triple Fuggin' I.

On the bike questions, a good thing to remember is that the coolest bike in the world is the one you have the key to, be it a Honda Passport 50 or a $100,000 West Coast chopper. Also, no bike is yours until you've modified it and crashed it (jetting carbs and dumping the bike in a parking lot count).

I dig Songstowearpantsto.com! some of those are ending up on my ipod :mrgreen: Now I just gotta find more lurkers who will send me cool links so I don't seem outta da loop! :lol:

Hehe, the Triple Fuggin' I indeed.

Hopefully you survivied the trip back. :)

Thanks again for the advice. I've definitely decided I just have to ride as many as I can before I make my choice.
