Can't create a new account

Hi

I have heard great things about your site and I am very eager to give it a go.

I have tried several times to create a new account. When I fill out the sign up form and click the "create user" button I am taken back to the splash page. There is no confirmation that I have successfully created a new account nor is there an error message saying that there was a problem with the way I filled in the form.

When I try to use the new username and password that I just entered, I am not allowed in. It is as though the information I entered when trying to create a new user was never submitted.

I really want to try out your site. Please let me in!
