I no longer see the details of new threads against the different sectors - ie Lounge, East Dulwich etc. I used to see this update and decide whether to open and have a look see or not. I also used it to control number of unread threads and thus reduce loading time.


Have I done something - or has the system done something?

I'm afraid they were taken off as it causes a high load on the server where this website lives. It runs on a shared server and the other websites that it shares with were being affected so we got told off and had to find ways to reduce the load. The "show the number of threads" feature has to count all the unread posts for each section for each person then show the number and as there's about 2,000 people a day on the site it's quite intensive. We're looking at upgrading the software soon so that feature will come back or we have to move the site to a dedicated server which is about ?900 a year.


So it's something we had to do temporarily to stop the site being taken down, sorry you miss it but we hope to have it back.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
