Looks very nice. Few thoughts: 1. Why does it ask for my first and last name when signing up? I expected that field to want a screenname, given the pretty standard signup box requiring sn, email, password, password again you find everywhere. 2. Do you have to use a java uploader for pics? I'd rather just upload one at a time manually than have to have java on my PC. Can that at least be an alternative?


we use your f+lname as your identity when you post things and invite other people to the site. the point about the confusion over the sn field is valid, we might want to reformat that screen (or ideally have a live demo that eases into a real membership - like weebly).

we use the same java/activex image uploader that facebook uses (hoping people would be familiar w/ it). however, there should be an option "use the simple uploader" that will take u to a standard file-input setup. let me know if this isnt showing up.
