Registration fails

[earthspike]

I registered (as 'earthspike') and immediately received the activation email. Clicking on the URL gave:

Your account was not activated

There was an error creating this account. Perhaps your registration key expired, in which case please re-register.

I attempted to re-register as 'earthspike' only to be told that the username was now taken. I then repeated the exercise with the username 'earthspike1' and got the same result (activation link supplied but would not activate the account). I also attempted cutting/pasting the link from Thunderbird to Firefox but with the same results.

Both attempts were made around 0120 UTC on 14 Apr 12.

This should be fixed now.

Not fixed. The previous email links still fail. The previous account attempts are still in the database and cannot be used to log in. Attempting to register again causes an internal error, but it says you've been emailed about that. Latest attempt just before 1400 UTC on 15 Apr 12.
