Error creating account
« on: May 19, 2014, 07:09:32 pm »

Trying to create an account on the Wiki.  I get a token and go through the account creation form, and it reports that accounts can not be created due to an error on the server.

Is this a known issue?  Any idea when it will be back up?

If there is no ETA for a fix, can I impose upon someone to upload / embed some images for me?

Apparently SMF didn't send me an email notification for this thread...
To answer your questions: Yes, this is a known issue, and no, I don't know when it'll be back up.

For a better explanation, it's an issue with an spam-blocking extension I wrote. An early version accidentally prevented any accounts from being created, which I fixed, but the server decided to revert back to the old, non-working version. Briess (the admin) is working to fix it, although he's been busy recently so it's not entirely clear when it'll be working again (hopefully soon™).

There was a typo in the siegers' campfire code. When the fires went out, so did the game.

Account creation should (hopefully) be working now. Let me or Briess know if you run into any problems with it again.
