Image hosting down?

[Norsehound]

Now that I actually have stuff to show up on the forums again I'd like to use the image host for Relic...

But whenever I sign in I'm just re-directed back to the sign in page.

Is it broken, or is it just me?

It's broken. Try harassing deadguy and reki on IRC.

It's broken. Period. The last time I checked a couple months ago, the problem seems to be that Relicnews.com seems to think that Reliccommunity.com is sending gibberish for mysql authentication. Connecting to other remote servers works fine from Reliccommunity.com, so it's not genuinely sending garbage.

Never figured it out, and ran out of time to work on it in depth.

And then, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, it started working without intervention, and stopped two weeks later, so it's now REALLY a mystery.

Ghosts in the machine...

So, it seems that the hosting's functioning perfectly, but that logging in's borked. Would it be possible to copy the user database over to the reliccommunity site and have it access them directly? Or even to give reliccommunity its own database and just make everyone re-create their accounts? I know almost nothing about hosting, so I apologise in advance if these ideas are impossible/ridiculously time consuming.
