The Oil Drum is upgrading to a more sophisticated content management system later this month. We are working to ensure a smooth transition between the current site and the new site—site will look mostly the same, all of the old links will work, and all of the user accounts will be brought over.

The exception is the passwords, which are NOT being moved over. When the new site goes live, you will give it your username and it will email you instructions on how to set your password. This will only work if we have an up-to-date email address for you. If you have an outdated or invalid email address, you will NOT receive the instructions.

Please follow this link (while logged into the site) and make sure your email address is correct. If it's not, please update it. Thank you.
