Okay, so there's a little issue with the "register" process.

Speaking from my experience, what I think happens is that once you click "send" for the captcha thing, the forum generates an account with your specified settings *before* sending you to the "registration successful" page, or; the registration complete page doesn't exist.
It's not particularly elegant, and in my case was confusing. Can someone try and see what happened with that, and if there IS a glitch, try and fix it?

It's not an issue now, but if it happens consistently it might be something stopping more people from joining.

Hmm, can you elaborate for me on why that's a problem or what part was confusing? When you create an account on this forum (as well as every other forum I've ever been to) it creates your account for you and sends an e-mail, and then when you click the link in the e-mail you're good to go. I'd be happy to investigate, but please let me know what I'm looking for.

right, right.

So, when I was registering, once I put in the captcha code and hit "send" the message I got returned was "someone is already using that nickname." So I changed the nick and then the error was "someone is already using that email". Of course, nobody other than me was using my nick or email, but since the system didn't know that, instead of redirecting me and telling me that the confirmation email was sent, it just came up an error message.

Granted, the confirmation email was sent, and I'm making posts now, so the error doesn't prevent people from successfully registering, but it is a little confusing.

That explanation help?

It does, thanks. Still confused, though--the "Someone is already using that nickname" sounds more like a glitch than anything else if it happened right when you first registered. Very weird, hmm...
