Hi everybody! Welcome to the new site!

:banana: :pancakes: :beers:

Over the next few weeks we'll be gradually rolling out core features of the website. It will be a little bumpy (it already is). Most features you'd expect wont be available right away (Posting, Commenting, Mobile). Have patience! They're coming!

This week we're starting with just two things:

• Creating Accounts
• Suggesting Themes

Click the Create Account button above to start creating.

Everyone is making a new user account! Create personal accounts, don't create team accounts!

We'll be revisiting how to create teams soon.

Usernames are very important on this new site. Since it would be terrible if previous participants had their name stolen, we've reserved usernames belonging to anyone that has previously participated in a Ludum Dare event. Simply use the original e-mail address you signed with on ludumdare.com, and it will let you activate that name.

Don't have access to your old e-mail account? That's okay! Create a temporary account with an e-mail you do have access to. Next year, when we start migrating the data over, we'll have a process for recovering old names and accounts.

You may notice that account names are more strict than they were before. Names must be alphanumeric, and may separate words with a dot, dash, space, or underscore, but they can't start or end with one. Internally, names are lower case with dashes. Your new Jammer account is shared across Ludum Dare and the other services we'll be launching next year. It's all about jamming, so it made sense to call these new shared accounts Jammer accounts.

If you're having problems activating, be sure to whitelist hello@jammer.vg in your spam filter.

Once you've created your account, you can go here to begin making suggestions:

• https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/37/theme/

And that's it!

Follow the main Twitter account at https://twitter.com/ludumdare for event announcements. For alpha testing announcements, follow my personal Twitter account at https://twitter.com/mikekasprzak.

The Theme Slaughter will kick-off on Monday, so get your suggestions in ASAP!

Problematic E-mail Providers

• hotmail, outlook, live.com - Add hello@jammer.vg to your contacts.
• free.fr - I've reached out to them. It could be a few days.
• laposte.net - Sorry! I can't find ANY way to fix this. Nobody seems to know! :nauseated_face:

You can re-enter your e-mail in Create Account to re-send Activation e-mail.

If that doesn't help, you can try an account with another provider, or reach out to me and we can see about doing it manually.
