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. 

That's not a flaw; it's a feature! It encourages people to read the board on a regular and frequent schedule! 

6 6 6! Oh, Yeah!

Site Help

Yes this site needs help

It seems to be full of 'has been', wanna be's, or maybe that should be 'never were, ' wanna be's. With a few noteable exceptions (and no, your not one of them Eyebrow) namely bal, czg and vondur 

Vondur is awesome. :)
czg is good, but wierd. :|
Bal is French. :( 

Bonus points for Eyebrow. 

Please ignore the obvious troll, this thread is for Site Help not silly drama. Let's try and maintain some intelligence.

Thank you for proving that you're both so moronic and uncaring about our forums that you just had to continue the derailment of this thread. Now go map.

Someone has posted sounding like a horrible drunk who has the IQ of a rock.

Plz help

(this isn't teenl33t speak corner DaZ, please talk like a real person, especially when reporting problems with the forum) 

I've been seeing 403s and the occasional timeout quite a lot in the last couple of days. 

sent an email to the webhost this morning. 

unusually high access latency lately. I've noticed that before as well; it comes and goes. 

Yesterday morning I had a 403 Forbidden Access Error like mwh has, and since the site has been accessible, it is extremely slow... by slow I mean really slow (at least 5 minutes to open a single page)... Metlslime: please kill the provider and replace it by a powerfull one ! 

I'm sure he was completely unaware of this. 

unaware ?? Do you mean inactive... bleh ! 

i've complained several times to my host.
