==Can't seem to sign up==
Hey there. Sorry to bother you, but you were the first active administrator I saw.

I've been trying to create an account for awhile but I keep getting this error message "Failed to connect to smtp.mandrillapp.com:587 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]". I've tried using multiple devices but it keeps up. Any idea how I can fix that and create my account? Or are accounts unable to be created nowadays? Thanks in advanced.

Here's my email if that's needed: Mastermawile@Yahoo.com [[Special:Contributions/71.71.54.95|71.71.54.95]] 12:54, 20 January 2018 (PST)
:Hello, and thanks for reaching out.  Can you please confirm that you are using [[Special:RequestAccount]] in order to create a user account here on WikiIndex?  All sections need to be completed, and crucially, a valid and functional e-mail address is required.  Should any e-mail not be valid, the registration process will fail.  I see you are using a Yahoo account - whilst we have had some successful Yahoo registrations, I am aware that Yahoo accounts ''can'' be auto-blocked.  This is common throughout many differing internet sites, and is not unique to WikiIndex.  Perhaps you could consider a Gmail account, as these always validate successfully.  I would also like to advise that we still allow both editing of existing articles and creation of new articles as an [[IP editor]] (without creating an account).  Please let me know if you require further assistance.  Best regards.

:: Thanks for replying. Sorry or the lack of details on my end. 
:::-Yes, I used Special:RequestAccount on both my laptop and mobile device with the same error.
:::-All sections were completely and filled out. I didn't get the same error message wen I missed a field, so those weren't the issue. 
:::-I tried using both my Yahoo and Gmail email, to no avail. 
::I suppose I'll just edit as an anon for now, I'll try to make an account in a week or so. Again, thanks for the help, I appreciate it.[[Special:Contributions/71.71.54.95|71.71.54.95]] 13:40, 21 January 2018 (PST)

==Hey==
Almost all of my wikis were lost in [https://incels.me/threads/my-house-got-burglarized-today-and-my-hard-drive-was-taken.61327/ a burglary].

So what category should pages like [[Kings Wiki (en)]] go in? Dead, I guess? [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 18:09, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
:Well that is a dire situation.  Any unwelcome 'guests' who do that kind of thing are just low-life - they don't have the balls to air their disagreements with you personally, but take the chickens way of trashing you, and your elderly and infirm parents.  Please make sure you update your home security.  Maybe get consider getting a Rottweiler or two!  They are incredibly loyal, and soft towards their owners, but can be highly effective at inflicting serious pain on intruders!

:As for your wikis, I am guessing you didn't backup their databases?  Have you checked [[Archive.org]] and / or [[archive.is]]?  It looks like Dead is the most appropriate.

:Stay safe, best. [[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]] / [[WikiIndex:Bureaucrats|'Crat]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 20:27, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is kind of an epochal change; [[Nathania]] was originally created in 2012, and countless hours were spent adding content to it over the years; and we are now basically in the post-Nathania era.

::There's now not really anything left for anyone to try to steal or sabotage in the house (and if there were, they might still be hesitant to do so, since I'm now on the alert that people are willing to go to those lengths). They pretty much accomplished what seems to have been their goal, which was to get rid of my sites, or otherwise set me back, or silence me. These days, I just post on obscure forums.

::My backups existed on physical drives that were taken. I might have some really old versions of some databases on other drives that are lying around, but I don't know if I want to bother with it at this point. I've been having trouble finding a good free speech webhost now that I've been kicked off of DreamHost. [[User:Leucosticte|Leucosticte]] ([[User talk:Leucosticte|talk]]) 09:01, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

==i requesting a account==
hello, i want to create/request account, but i cannot, please can you help me please, but i do not want personal biography, and here is the details i want in my account:
*username: psl85
*email to send details and password: <code>lenasundfors66@gmail.com</code>
*real name: philip
*i have read and understand [[Wikiindex:Terms of Service]]? Yes
*Other things: I would use the "monobook" skin instead of the "vector" skin, default items to show by default in recent changes, histories, and logs: 200, and i want to use the old classic edit toolbar instead of the enhanced, and please notify me on my IPs talk page while this is done.

Please can you create that account? [[Special:Contributions/46.227.72.94|46.227.72.94]] 11:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
:Can you tell me why [[Special:RequestAccount]] isn't an option for you? [[User:Koavf|Koavf]] ([[User talk:Koavf|talk]]) 23:11, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
::{{U|Koavf}} – there are major errors / problems with our software installation.  I raised the issue [[WikiIndex:2018 bugs#Request an account|here]] over a month ago.

::[[Special:Contributions/46.227.72.94|46.227.72.94]] – we do require a small level of vetting, hence the need for a brief biography when requesting an account.  Can you please advise what other wikis you are active on, and your reasons for wanting to join WikiIndex?  Thanks.

:::The [[Special:RequestAccount]] page requires a personal biography, I do not want to add one, and I would use account to edit instead of IP, because I want to use the monobook skin instead of Vector skin, and the enhanced toolbar want I not to use and instead use the old classic toolbar, and if the biography is required, please briefly describe it, is it ok?

Sorry for the interruption, I think we got it sorted [[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small>

:: There was a missing database table, so we think either a plug in was installed or a function was used for a prior plug in which required that table.  So we created the table and that should take care of it.  We don't have a clearer explanation unfortunately.  [[Raymond King]] | <small>[[User talk:Rathbone|talk]]</small>
