Welcome to all users! This page is where people can ask StrategyWiki-related questions to the staff and senior community figures, and they will do their best to answer. If you want to raise a topic for discussion (rather than just ask about it), please use community issues instead. New issues are entered here, with the most recent at the bottom of the page. Please review the Table of Contents to see if your issue has already been raised; also check the archives (to the right) in case it was discussed some time ago.

To facilitate ease of browsing and replying, please:
 * 1) Place your question at the bottom of the list
 * 2) Title the question (by placing the title between equals signs: ==title==)
 * 3) Sign your name and date (by adding two hyphens and four tildes: --~ )

Registering at ABXY
I saw that CI was moved to abxy, and so tried to register there, but after hitting the "submit" button on the page it just moved me back to the "Terms and Conditions" or whatever page. I tried it multiple times and it does the same thing. What should I do? Baejung92 13:23, 8 March 2008 (CST)
 * Do you have cookies allowed and JavaScript enabled? You may also need to temporarily disable the cookie-blocking functions of your security software (e.g. ZoneAlarm), or ideally add the site to their exceptions lists. You could also try registering from http://forums.abxy.org, although that's less likely to fix it. GarrettTalk 14:13, 8 March 2008 (CST)
 * Yes and yes to both questions... I was pretty sure I didn't have any cookie-blocking enabled. But I tried this with IE7 instead of Firefox, and because the "Register" link at the top of the page wasn't there on IE, I used the link near the bottom and it worked this time. Bizarre, but I don't know. Baejung92 17:15, 8 March 2008 (CST)
 * The problem is caused by specific security settings (default in Firefox, probably not in IE, though IE didn't work for me, either, at first). The solution is to click through until the URL displayed is abxy.org instead of forums.strategywiki.org. It's most likely a cross-site scripting issue where the browser sees different base URLs for the registration scripts, and doesn't allow them to execute. I was finally able to register using Firefox by clicking through to abxy before registering.--Vizeroth 17:29, 9 March 2008 (CDT)
 * I probably missed something with the cookie settings. If any of you sees this error again, I'd really like to see some output from LiveHttpHeaders. That would help me debug it. echelontalk 23:04, 9 March 2008 (CDT)
 * I can't register with the name Rocky, it says it's already in use, will I be able to have the single log-in if I choose the same password or does the username also have to be the same?-- The preceding signed comment was added by Rocky (talk • contribs). 13:24, 10 March 2008 (CDT)
 * I'd suspect the user names have to be the same. The Rocky profile has no posts, however, so it could probably just be deleted. GarrettTalk 14:56, 10 March 2008 (CDT)
 * I just deleted the old Rocky account. echelontalk 09:44, 11 March 2008 (CDT)

Subpage watch
Is there a way so that all subpages for a game may be watched, or do we have to watchlist each subpage individually?  bibliomaniac 1  5  17:00, 9 March 2008 (CDT)
 * Special:Watchsubpages would be the page you're looking for. - Koweja (Talk | Contributions) 18:52, 9 March 2008 (CDT)
