Can't seem to sign up for a Developer account.

Post by eNamorD »

Hello,

I’m trying to register a BGA Studio developer account at https://studio.boardgamearena.com, but submitting the form always fails with “Invalid answer from server”.

Details from the browser’s dev tools (tried twice on 2026-11-05, same result):

Request: POST https://studio.boardgamearena.com/accou ... count.html
It hangs for about 30 seconds (30.26 s), then returns HTTP 200, Content-Type text/html, Server: nginx
Response body (30 bytes): “Error while performing request”
No console errors on page load; the security code image loads fine. Theme release 261105-1800.

So the request seems to time out on the server and nginx returns a non-JSON error instead of the usual JSON answer.

I didn’t receive any welcome email, so I don’t think the account was created. My regular BGA username is: eNamorD and that's the same one I tried to use for the developer account too.

Could you take a look, or create the account for me? Thanks!

Our studio is available again, though we are still keeping new account creation restricted for now.
