This FAQ was formerly on a separate page, which was linked to in a pinned thread. I recently figured that it would be easier to just make a thread for this that can be freely edited, so that people wouldn't have to administer as many clicks to find it, and so I wouldn't have to be hindered by any issues I may have with the FTP system (inability to login, forgotten password, etc.). I'll continually update this thread at my leisure as I find questions that get asked more and more often. If you have a question about MZX or community access or whatever, I suggest you check the FAQ to see if it's already answered. Found a frequently asked question that's missing from this FAQ? Click the email link below and let me know about it.
