Sorry in advance if this is posted to the wrong place.
It appears to me that the page in which to sign up to Wikipedia is broken (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin&type=signup). (As I have never used this page before its hard to say) It appears that the fields to enter a username and password are missing.
Could someone redirect me or this message to someone who may know about this.
Cheers, George.

The page looks fine to me. What browser and operating system are you using and what are your current security settings? Also, do you allow Javascript and cookies?

Hi, It works for me in firefox 1.0.7 and IE 6.0, so you might be having some browser related issue?

Hmmm, when I sent my previous email I was at work. However, last night when I went home I had no problems registering. This morning when I tried again at work the page still has username and password fields missing.
At home I use Firefox 1.0.7 on Gentoo Linux, and at work Firefox 1.5 on Windows 2000.
One other piece of information that may or may not be relevant is that my companies internet address has been blocked by User:Curps as he/she believes that the address belongs to an anoymous proxy (Half the reason I wanted to sign up is so I could attempt to have this rectified).
Cheers, George.

It seemed to me that when an ip was blocked, all registered users sharing this ip were blocked too. If this is right, maybe the creation of new accounts from people using this ip is disabled.
Anyone to confirm ?

This is the case. The message you get if your IP is blocked halfway through createing an account doesn't make a lot of sense given the context.

I guess this is a safeguard to avoid people signing up from blocked adresses and finding they still can't edit.

Maybe the mechanism which detects the block and inhibits those fields should also display some message stating the reason for their non-appearance and directing the user to somewhere useful...

Thanks. That should cause a little less confusion.
However, the next part of my problem is that my compaines IP address still blocked. Could someone who has the power to unblock IP's please unblock 202.37.96.11 (See http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl for evidence that this is IP is not an open proxy, rather it belongs to my company, Tait Electronics).
Cheers, George

I've unblocked for the time being, since this looks valid to me; I'll drop Curps a line. Apologies for any inconvenience.
