1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

Community We may experience some down-time / random crashes / timing out

    Apparently one of our server Hard Drives may be failing, so it needs to be taken offline and tested. This could take anywhere from 4 minutes to 4 hours.

    In other news, you may have gotten one of the following three errors lately:

    1. CloudFlare advising you that a cached version of this page is not available. And a blue button you can click to visit a live version of the page.

    2. CloudFlare telling you about a potential DDoS attack and redirecting you in 3... 2... 1...

    3. "An unexpected database error has occurred."

    It all boils down to server load and what-not, which we will take steps to rectify shortly. In the mean-time, if you get any of the above, try refreshing the page until it works.

    *sigh*

    They brought the server back online with no notice and no update. Let's see if I can find out how we stand...

    How many hard drives to we have? How many do we need to prevent the loss of our only social activity?

    I'd-I'd better donate some more.

    Gave up trying to reach the Codex at home. It only works here at work.

    Will try again later.

    We've got two. We need both.

    PM me the IP you (and anyone else) can't access the Codex from. You're from a suspicious country (sorry, but Brazil raises flags like nothing else...) and may have been caught in the DDoS net yesterday.

    Anyway, access is fine from home now.
