TDWTF WTF

Enter a username, a password twice, an email, copy (not write) the email to the email-again field, select your timezone.
Hit 'Join'. You can't? The join button is disabled. And no indication about what's wrong.
Seems you can't just copy things into a field, you have to type something too.
And the rest of the form validation is ... interesting.
If a needed field is empty, there's a red asterix to the right of the field. Except for the Username, that's obviously not needed.
If the confirm password field doesn't match the password, the asterix is a little bit more to the right. Same for the email.
The error indicators would have been ok if there had been an explanation of what they mean.

Cannot confirm this... copyed the email and created this account.

I think hes saying that if you dont put a username into the box then button is disabled and it doesnt show a asterix next to the username field indicating its required. I checked and yeah it doesnt show the asterix......but the sentence right above the field says a username is require and wtf why would anyone try to make a user account without putting in a username....
This isnt so much as a wtf as it is a person digging for slight design problems.

I guess you used [ctrl]+[c] [ctrl]+[v]. If you use right mouse button->paste (in FF 1.4.0.9 atleast) the submit button won't be active.

This happened to me when I tried to create an account. I input all info, and couldn;t click 'Join'. Had to read the source to find out why.
If a page wants to validate my input, fine, but at least tell me what I did wrong.

This one was actually caught by a tester before deploying the latest version of the site. But, I set the bug as "won't fix" because (1) it's part of Community Server and (2) most people seem to get past it eventually. Hopefully they'll fix it in CS 3.0.
