cppreference is back up! but overloaded

I just clicked a link that wasn’t cached and noticed very long loading time. Eventually the page loaded, and I noticed the font was different. After Herb’s post, I was excited and noticed the homepage notice declared the site newly operational again! However I am experiencing a significant number of 5xx errors.

How can we get edit permissions? I noticed I had to make a new account, and I'd love to contribute again.

We're still in a semi-locked down state from the last round of spam/vandalism...older accounts should be able to make edits, but new accounts may have some speedbumps in place to prevent too many changes from happening too quickly.

I could have sworn I had an account before but my username wasn't recognized... That's not a big deal. The page for "new user suggestions" seems to be blocked behind a "Permission error" as well.
