SC4 Devotion: Official Advice and Site Information Thread

[Moerp 449]

I've tried to made a SC4 Devotion account, but I can't activate it. In the E-mail there's the activation link and the activation code, but when I'm click on the link, I just get to the Forum-Site and I still can't log in. The same at SimPeg. Can anybody help me?

[Jimmy Buzaid 53]

Re-send Activation E-mail maybe. Or maybe because you live in germany you have a strange IP.

Does your email client (gmail, hotmail or something like MS Outlook) have the email flagged and links blocked/deemed unsafe? Sometimes when this happens for me when I forget my SC4D password the "reset password" link just leads to the forum. Try marking the email safe (i.e. it will allow you to click links without prompting you they may be unsafe) and this may work, is usually does for me.

Hope this helps, good luck getting your account sorted out.

Thank you very much, now it works!

Heck, I can't even get an e mail!

[jmsepe 2,039]

arozarker12, try to contact Tarkus here in ST, he is a staff in SC4D, he might be able to give you some inputs, he already helped me once through my application.

I can't get any activation email from them.... I just contacted Tarkus.

[jmsepe 2,039]

Well then please wait for him to respond, I'm sure he can work things out.

If you are not sure how to mark an e-mail as safe, it's always a good idea to right-click the link, select "Copy link location" (or similar wording, depending on your browser and OS) from the context menu, and paste the link into the address bar of your browser. This is also good to see what URL the link actually points to (it could be spoofed - not so much in case of SC4D, but generally speaking!). Once the link has been entered in the address bar, simply hit [RETURN] to confirm, and your browser will take you to wherever the link leads, regardless of your e-mail program.

Check your spam and junk folders.

[Diego2801 43]

Thank you

I tried to do that and can not find my email account activation.

[Tarkus 6,932]

We had a few issues with the e-mail server, probably right around the time you registered. In any case, I've manually activated your account, so you should be good to go now.  Let me know if you encounter anymore issues.

Have you tried contacting Tarkus?

 

In a PM, just give a brief summary of the issue, along with your registered username, and I'm sure he can help you out.

I've located your forum account and have manually activated it.  Do you have a LEX account that needs activation as well?

Hi Tarkus.  Can you help me with activating my SC4 devotion account?  I registered two days ago.  I have not received an e-mail to activate my account.  It doesn't look like my e-mail considers it junk mail.  :-(  

Thanks

[ReshiramLover 49]

Is anybody else unable to register on SC4D forums or their dedicated csxlex downloads? I registered like 5 hours ago, was told I'd receive an email with my activation link but I didn't. Not even in my spam folder.

Is anybody else unable to register over there?

[rsc204 21,836]

Give it 24 hours, the internet isn't always as fast as it should be. Also, depending on your e-mail provider, it's possible that some items flagged as spam by filters may not make it even to the Spam folder. Anyhow, if things aren't working after 24h have passed, we (the SC4D staff) can look into the problem for you.

[ReshiramLover 49]

I still have not gotten my activation link for SC4D. (Different email than on here)

SC4D Admin here.  I have manually activated the account on the LEX, so you should be able to log in now.  Apologies for it taking a couple days, but I've been working overtime at two jobs this week, which means I've barely been home (aside from sleeping), while also preparing for an out-of-state trip, and have only just now seen this thread.

Manual account activation requires Admin privileges, and the rest of the Admin team has been spread a bit thin with real life as well.  Of the other three besides myself, one is building up a law practice, one is finishing up his master's degree, and the other is in the process of starting grad school.  The site owner is also quite busy in his life outside of the SC4 world, and except for emergency situations (i.e. database and server issues) and site finances, has largely left operations of the site to the four of us.  It may, for the foreseeable future, take us a few days to handle manual activations for LEX and/or SC4D Forum accounts.  We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but thank those who are patient with us, as we try to balance our real world obligations with our continued, long-running passion for this community.

Could you please activate my account ? Snowie

As has been reported by several users, the registration system for the SC4 Devotion Lot Exchange (LEX) has recently become non-operational.  The version of the CAPTCHA verification system that has been in use on the LEX was apparently discontinued within recent weeks, and unfortunately this change has effectively prevented new members from creating accounts and accessing the downloads.

Due to the fact that the LEX operates on custom software, removing and/or replacing the current broken CAPTCHA system will actually require a re-write of the software, a task that will require the assistance of our sole LEX developer.  Due to the demands of our developer's schedule outside of SC4 Devotion, we cannot give any estimate as to when the registration will re-open.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to be able to serve the download needs of new members again very soon.

[Tarkus 6,932]

As of about an hour ago, with some trial and error, I managed to disable the outdated reCAPTCHA V1 references on my own, and LEX registration should once again be functional.  Thank you for your patience, and as always, should you have any issues with registration or login, please let us know either here or on our LEX Access thread over on the SC4 Devotion Forums, and our staff will do our best to help you promptly.

The related reCAPTCHA issues with the standard forum registration have also been resolved, and the forum now runs reCAPTCHA V2.  Our forum's Social Login feature, unfortunately, will stop accepting new unique users for the foreseeable future, as we have hit the cap for the free plan for the year since install.

[Tarkus 6,932]

Just wanted to give everyone here at ST a heads up that the LEX download section is presently unavailable, due to ongoing maintenance work with the software.  At present, much like NAM releases, we don't have an ETA for when the exchange will be back up and running, but we will keep everyone apprised of progress and any related news as needed. 

Apologies for any inconvenience, and thank you to everyone in advance for their patience.

[Tarkus 6,932]

Another update here--as of 12:01am Pacific Daylight Time (UTC-7), the LEX has been re-opened.  Most core functionality is in place, with some features coming back online in later phases.  Special thanks to CasperVg, our LEX Developer, for all his hard work in getting the exchange back up and running, with increased security.  His official announcement can be read here.

Thank you all for your patience during the downtime.
