I have to admit there was no server down since last week.. and now it seems to be more stable, so perhaps I tried to connect when they were working on the server (Friday 04 of march in the morning here in France..)... Anyway, let's hope it will not occurs any more often in the future.. 

I can't think of anything I did to merit an IP ban, so perhaps this is a domain level thing? If not, at least tell me to fuck off to my face.

(I know this is Site Help, but it somehow seems the right place) 

Just kidding.

-ChanServ- *betruger*!*@* czg 2 days and 10 hours Never Evil scientists not allowed!

I just removed that, try it now. 

Didn't work, though 

I removed all the bans, I will put them back once I figure out which one is you 

Thanks again 

I've been caught by the Betruger ban too. How am I supposed to talk about Doom3 without being allowed the odd Betruger laugh every now and then? :P 

Spell it wrong. 

This is not the place for irc problems. Next time use the General Abuse thread. Thanks. 

Body cannot be empty, or something 

betruger ban? O_o 

I cannot log in from any of my browsers 

I changed the date to 2006 (on my PC) and func_ didn't allow me to log in.
I totally forgot about that changing of date and when I changed it back to 2005 everything started to work as it should.

Strange 

 

Why? Time travel to past is supported, I know (I live for about 2 years in 1997). 

(I live for about 2 years in 1997).

I lived 

We are all still living in 1997 here ;) 

I party like it's 1999 everynight 

I don't know if it's related to the evil anonymous posts, but the Book thread just showed 76 new posts. Is the board hacked? 

did not retain info from an old, bumped up thread. 

 

the cookie only remembers who you are. The database stores the highest numbered post each user has seen in each thread that user has visited. I assume that aquire hasn't viewed the book thread in a long time, and that it just got bumped so he now sees it in the "latest threads" list. 

then there's something strange about how it stores the info metl, because it always seems that when a thread get bumps from the depths of the archives, there's a random, meaningless number of 'new' posts. I've never given it a second thought, just assumed 'whatever, it's an old thread the board likely doesn't bother saving which posts I've seen in those threads.' 

it always seems that [there's a] meaningless number of 'new' posts.

I'm not sure how you define "always" but I think that's only happened to me once (at the most) out of all the bumped threads in the history of Func. I am very anal about reading all posts on the board, which would explain this "bug's" exceptionally rare occurance for me; and also explain why I'm not even certain it's happened at all. So I'm willing to bet (Tibet?) that you guys just forgot to read those threads; especially since they're usually the meaningless ones. 

there's a flaw in the design of the forum page in that it only displays the ten latest threads, even if there are more than ten threads with new posts. So if you go away for a week, and 12 threads get posted to, when you come back you will only see 10 of the threads, and not realize there might be additional threads with new posts.
