    Every time I try to access one of the pages that used to have official stuff with fan-made additions (like the Spells and schematics sections), the top menus load but I get a message about how it cannot access mySQL underneath and nothing else loads.

    Any ideas what's going on there?

    It's not you.
    I also get error "Unable to connect to MySQL" when trying to access spells.

    Also, when trying to get to the gallery I receive:
    "Coppermine critical error:
    Unable to connect to database !

    MySQL said: Access denied for user 'terra_arcanum'@'localhost' (using password

    Being hosted by Sorcerer's place, I'd say it's most likely a problem on their end. Coppermine is an image hosting webapp IIRC, so I'm not sure on the relevance there.

    I dunno, it's something they'd need to sort out I guess.

    Nope, the problem is entirely on our side. I'll fix it, eventually.

    Should work now.

    On a side note, who wrote this messy code?

    The main page has the database password stored in at least three different places, when it could've just used the forums config file.
