Nopes. You can try signing up in my website using the form. You would find out the error.

Couple of things. First just to help you, you need to learn to use some of the tools that FF offers. If you pull up your site on FF firefox... then go to tools and error console it will show you some of the errors.
Now wether or not these affect this i doubt it but you still need to get those fixed.
Such as this one..
Go go your theme css and find this
.ow_context_action {
display: inline-block;
position: relative; z-index: 3;
font-size: 11px; height: 18px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
vertical-align: top;
*display: inline;
zoom: 1;
background-image: url('images/console_item_bg.png');
background-position: 0px 0px;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
If you want to comment that out it should be /* whatever */
if not then remove that * by display
then refresh your cache and in the mean time i will see what i can find on this other deal. :)

did you mod your signup form im showing this
<input type="submit" value="PLUGG In" id="input_94710536" class="ow_positive"name="submit"value="PLUGG In" />
the value attribute is duplicated

no i mean that the * on that display line is incorrect..
so either comment out that line correctly as /* display:inline; */
or take the * off that line

No, I didn't do that. In any case, if I had done that unknowingly, can you please tell me how to ocrrect it?

You will need to edit the form html, i dont think that is the issue im still looking but that needs to be fixed regardless.

just take one out, its duplicated it shows two times value=
Also on this issue go into plugins and deactivate your instant chat, lets see if this is a conflict with the theme, im getting some feedback from my file search that this error message may come from instant chat. so lets deactivate that and see if that clears it, we have to start someplace. If not you can put it back,.

ok well its not that, but leave that off, we will put it back in a min. Lets see if this is a template conflict. Change your template to the origin template and refresh and see if that does it... We have to find out where the conflict is, you have the same code as i do, since you did not change anything.. Mine works so lets see if changing the template does it then we can attack the template if that is the case.
