WoW-V Officially Hooked up to SICKind!

The login system for the creators has finally been moved over. All logins can now be done using SICKind, meaning new accounts will finally work with WoW-V.
A lot of areas still need to be tweaked, but this is the primary use of WoW-V, so I figured I'd do it first. If there are any problems, please let me know! A lot of tiny bits of code had to be changed, so who knows if something was missed.
There is one slight downside, however... due to how browser security works, the sessions between SICKind and WoW-V cannot be shared. This means you can log in and out of either site independently. If you stay logged in all the time this shouldn't be an issue, but if you don't you'll find that your sessions will log out at different times on SICKind vs WoW-V.
This is unfortunately not something we can fix at the moment. It would require a major app creation to make it a true "single sign on" system, and we just aren't ready for that yet.
And to anyone confused, SICKind and WoW-V share the same account system! There is no need to create another account if it shows you as logged out. Simply try your existing account login info and you'll be logged in!

Previously shared items WILL be accessible (in a view/download -only capacity) again soon, I just have to do some work on the page first to remove things like comments, voting, etc.
Item *saving* will return as well (although *sharing* will not). It will only be for donors+ initially, but there is a chance it will be obtainable as an expensive and rare forum shop item. *shrug* Who knows.

Will be able to report rule-breaking items for Sickles if we find any?

No. Item sharing won't exist. The item's that are in the DB now will stay there and become a view/download -only archive. Item SAVING (for donors+) will be reimplemented soon, but the regular sharing wont.
I don't know if I'll even have basic item browsing in. I think the only browsing I will allow will be from the management side of things. Users will be able to see their own items, but that's it. They'll just have to link them directly to people that want to see them. The idea of the archive is to be just that. It's not meant to be a fully searchable/browseable site again.

I'm sure Sick will put it back in if you're willing to pay the hosting cost

If someone wants to pay the bill every month, by all means I'll add it all back. But I can't afford it on my own right now.
Also, don't forget that you can still share your creations on the forums. There's nothing stopping you from taking a screenshot of the preview, downloading all the batches into a zip file (so that any core can use it), and then just post it.
