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.

My special lady friend (i.e. my Wife, as of 36hrs ago) & I will be travelling to Nawlinz the last week of March. What, pray tell, should we do while we're there?

+1 for begniets and coffee at cafe du monde
Wander around the french quarter, look at shit, ride a streetcar through the garden district, eat lots of food (dunno if you're up for rolling the dice on locally sourced seafood though, what with the oil spill and all), drink lots of booze, get a go cup for walking around while drinking

hot jazz and dixieland.

i was never that comfortable at the Cafe du Mond; I prefer the Cafe Beignet on Royal Street. say hello to the cat.

if you're into historical stuff, there are a number of museums and old house tours, including some interesting plantations out of town, along the river.

ride the ferry to Algiers.

get a stylish chapeau at Meyer's

stalk J T Nesbitt

go to mass at the cathedral




oh, and congrats on the new life partner.

Some years back (post katrina) I was walking through new orleans at night and came upon an open garage door leading into an otherwise empty fair size cavern - containing an odd, flat sidecar rig and a questionable looking formerly submerged Lincoln. Some guy came out and we shot the bikes n' cars shit for about a half hour. Turns out, that's JT. Nice guy. Very talented, very entertaining to talk to.

I stalked Nesbitt last time I was there. Nice guy. Had some cool ideas that, given my state of intoxication and my sheer ignorance of bike physics, I couldn't grasp all that well. I think it rubbed him the wrong way. In any event, got to see the gas powered car, his bimota, ferrari and of course his latest bike concept. We swigged some whisky while he showed us his stuff. Nice guy, just wish I had been a more appropriate (read sober) guest.
