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!

2024 LOGIN/Posting ISSUES
Click if you have a problem.

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.

Summer!

Post by Rench » Thu Jul 11, 2013 8:46 pm

There was a standard, many years ago, when I spent the first month of my summer accomplishing more with less than I thought was humanly possible. The slightest issue was a storm had knocked out power for a few weeks at the camp i worked at, so showering wasnt an option, and the lake was a mile away, and there werent enough minutes in the day. Anyway, at the climax of the whirlwind of that summer's activity, I caught a scent. A smell if you will. It was me. Or more specifically, my testicles. And so a standard was born which MK3 can attest to. "Can you smell your own balls at a standing height? Then keep working."

So this summer, I decided becoming proficient on the bagpipes and designing/building a cabin from scratch 540 miles away wasn't enough, so I got the nastiest summer cold I could find AND took a history coarse to start finishing out my degree. Did I mention the baby and puppy?

I was laying in my bunk at work the other night, and I got a whiff of something...

Goals by September: ace class, master 12 or so tunes on pipes, lose weight, build cabin with older daughter, don't let younger daughter get injured, train dog, fix Harley (oh yeah, electrical gremlins there), then, maybe sleep or catch up with you miscreants. I swear some nights I've legitimately bit off more than I can chew.
