I'm not sure if I was having a problem with registering because of the server error. I cleared my cache out...tried it again...with the same results. After two more attempts (yes, I'm stubborn), I decided to try a 8 letter password instead of a 4 letter. It went thru. Is the password error linked somehow to an error you would receive if you didn't use a password of the correct minimum length? either way...i'm in. thanks
