[Newbies] Account at SqueakSource

[David T. Lewis]

Hi Robert,

I tested this by running a copy of squeaksource.com on my own personal
PC to see what would happen. I was suspecting some problem related to a
conflict in author initials (because I have seen that happen before). But
I did not actually find any problem when I tested it this way.

Here is what I did (on my local PC, not on the real squeaksource.com
server):

- From the "Home" tab, selected "Register Member"

- On the "Register Member" page, I entered this:
     Name: Robert Kuropkat
     Initials: RAK
     Password: password
     Confirmation: password
     E-Mail: <my email>
     Description: Dave Lewis testing

- I then clicked the "Save" button.

This resulted in a new RAK account (again, just on my testing PC, not on
the real squeaksource.com server). I was then able to log in as RAK, so
it all looked good.

I cannot see anything wrong, but clearly something was not working when
you did this on the real squeaksource.com server.

Could I ask you to please try registering once again, and see if it works
this time? Please let us know either way, because clearly something is
wrong and I would like to find what it is.

Thanks,

Dave

I tried to create an account on the Register Member page and when I put in my initials and password it just refreshes the page and does not create an account.  There appears to be no other members using my initials (based on the member list).
