Well, hi there! This thread is really for issues regarding the new forum, but we felt it important to explain what's happened recently. Over the past few days, a rather unexpected string of events has occurred, leaving us as The Range Planet. To keep things short, the former head admin of The Range Place - who also owns the domain name linked here we used to go by, hence the name change - decided to put TRP on "Maintenance Mode" without warning for the indefinite future. As a result, a few of us came together and decided we'd give this forum malarky a good go, and here we are as The Range Planet! While we are derived from The Range Place, we're attempting to do things a little differently from how it was ran. The forum, threads and research will be fundamentally the same, however a few major changes have been made - most importantly, roles have been changed. We have an altered admin and mod team as a result of recent events, many of whom have been instrumental in creating The Range Planet in the first place. For the time being, what you should do if you were in any way shape or form active on The Range Place (which, given that you're reading this, you probably were) is go to Singer Index and reclaim all of your old threads if you haven't already done so. If you want to access your old thread data, contact a member of the admin or mod team and they will send it to you. If you have any questions about or issues with The Range Planet, please post them here and they'll be seen to. We're still ironing out the creases for the time being, so please be patient with updates as they come, but hopefully things will be sorted quickly and efficiently! Note: Threads that were formerly in the complete section of the forum aren't guaranteed to be so now, so you may find some of your older threads have been put in Work-in-Progress until they conform to our current standards.

Hey there, glad you were able to make the move over. :)
The Singer Index is stickied as "Singer Index and Thread Moderation" over in Range Stuff, you can go ahead and list your claims there and we'll get them added in. Luckily staff was able to get access back into the old site, so we've been able to back up a bunch of threads; look out for a DM coming your way in a bit with a bunch of docs.

Is here an appropriate place to ask for old thread data, or should it be a direct message? The only one I had was Matt Corby but if possible I'd rather not have to go through the formatting again (*shudders* live falsetto backing vocals...).

I had to make a new account because for some reason this site won't let me login anymore. The previous account name was "blazejecar", obviously, and I tried logging in with my email and it logs me into proboards but not into this forum...so I have to go back to the login page, try to login again, but it gives an error that says to use my username. So I do, but then it gives an error that account is already linked and that I should use my email...and it's just a cycle between error telling me I should use my username or email with nothing happening. The only way I could get in here is with a fresh account. What should I do about this issue?

I’m not sure if this applies universally (especially for those who can’t access TRP3) but I’ve had the same problem. If you’re logged into TRP3 and this forum at the same time and you have the same username and password for both, you won’t be able to log in to the new forum unless you logout of the old one. One way around this is to just go straight to the proboards website and logout completely before signing in with the email and password that you use for your original account on the new forum. This should take you to a page that will show you your account here where you can just click it and be logged in.

I did this but sadly only the TRP3 account shows up and I can't do anything with it because it's under maintainance.

So um, the range place bumped her head apparently. I was BananaBaritone on TRP3 (as the name implies) and I was a relatively new member. I had Kali Uchis, Clairo, and I was working on Mable McVey. Kokope said they don't remember all of their threads, I distinctly recall them having FKA Twigs. And ama should have Jorja Smith if that's of any help too.

If incoming members want to request old threads they have the faculty to do so themselves (ama has already posted theirs after doing just that)

Could you post some screencaps? Certainly imgur.com/a/wDVxmKufirst I successfully login, and then it tells me to use the username which is shown as invalid, so I try again and it gives me the loop in pics 4 and 5. If I try to access this forum in the mean time, I'm still a guest and not logged in. The middle image is from the dashboard of the account and TRP3 isn't even listed there and I can't unlink it in the menu

That happened to me as well but after some insistance I was able to log in. Maybe reseting your browser, deleting cookies and saved log-in information can help

PSA: Apparently the head admin of therangeplace.com/ has made viewing the forum available (to members) once again. Registration and posting is still disabled, so what I recommend you all do is take this opportunity to grab your threads and reallocate them here. You can access the BBCode of your research via the  function next to your own OP. After posting your new OPs in Work-in-Progress Threads, I recommend that you also set a disclaimer like this on top of the old OP on The Range Place: [font size="7"]Click [a href="new thread URL"]here[/a] for the regularly updated version of this OP.[/font] That should make this process a whole lot easier, yeah?
