POST HERE If you cannot access the LEX

[the eman]

Its been quite a while since I've visited the LEX. I already had an account set up for it, but, due to time, I have forgotten what my username and password were. I have attempted to reset my password at least once in the past few days, and no confirmation emails have gone through to the email I have linked with my account. I am also aware that there has been ongoing issues regarding the LEX. If someone can reply to this message ASAP with some guidance on how my LEX account can be reset, that will be much appreciated.

Also, when I try to set up a new account with the same email, the registration never finishes successfully. Perhaps that is for security reasons. Will the email associated with an LEX account reset as well, or do I have to link a new email to it?

Hi I began playing SimCity 4 out of nostalgia lately and began downloading mods. I wanted to download CAMeLots from the LEX but was unable to create an account. I keep getting this message on a blank white page

Warning: mysqli_connect(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'jeronij_lex'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/jeronij/public_html/csxlex/config.php on line 6
Error: Unable to connect to MySQL. Debugging errno: 1045 Debugging error: Access denied for user 'jeronij_lex'@'localhost' (using password: YES)

Can someone help me get access to the LEX? Please and thank you!!!

Unfortunately, the LEX is down right now.  There's been some issues with the databases and disk space on the site, which knocked out the forums for about 10 days, and it appears the technical gremlins have since moved over to the LEX.

The site will be moving to a new server here soon, which should improve things.  While we will be attempting to do what we can to address technical issues within the confines of the current situation, know that there may still be issues like this that pop up every once and awhile until that move occurs.

Yes, the situation with the LEX remains unchanged since my last post. Unfortunately, there is no estimated time/date as to when it will be back.

I changed my LEX password and got the reset email, then was able to reset my password and log in. But when I change my password from the profile page, after clicking Update Profile and signing out, I can't log back in with my new password. However, the random password generated during the reset process still works. Is this part of the issues that are being corrected, or is this something different?

Thanks!

Who made this user nonfriendly redesign? I have not visited this site for a few years and... ftw guys?! Where is pagination? Why should is scroll down for years to find some older items???

[Tarkus]

If you're referring to the "infinite scroll" on the LEX, that's a common feature on a lot of websites nowadays--including Reddit and Facebook, among many others.  If you're looking for a more old-school paginated way of browsing the LEX, the Lot Table might be up your alley--click on the top of the "Upload Date" column a couple of times to sort by most recent.

Of course, if you're looking for older files, your best bet is probably to do a specific search, either using the Power Search tool, our Google Search feature, or again the Lot Table (just type in your search terms in the upper left box on the table).

I've also just corrected a bad link to the password reset page, so that functionality should hopefully work now.

Hey, I'm trying to access the exchange for the first time in about a year, and I'm getting an error whenever I try to sign in or create an account.

I have tried the past two days and cannot access the LEX and have even tried resetting my password, and never received the emails to do so.

TIA for your help!
