It sounds strange, but I'm unable to sign up to Twitter.
When I try to use Google Chrome, the sign up form contains only name
and e-mail
fields. And even though all of them are filled-up and contain valid values (notice check-marks), I'm bumped with Please complete all required fields
error every time, I click Sign Up
:
When I'm using Opera, I'm able to see username
additional field (but still no sign of password
field), but I'm hitting the wall with the same error message, even though — again — all fields are correct:
When I try to use Internet Explorer, I can finally see all the four fields, but effect is exactly the same:
What am I missing? I know, how much stupidity is in this question, but… how should I sing up to Twitter?
BTW: In all my attempts (in all browsers), I'm trying to use my own e-mail and all the time it is the same, if that matters. When I tried to used some fake, probably not existing e-mail address, I managed to pass through this step. I closed web page after that, because — quite naturally — I want my Twitter account on my real e-mail, not on some fake one.

This problem is directly linked to this question. I was trying to register a Twitter account, that contains
.com
in name (which is not allowed since recently).There's a bug in Twitter, which causes to display error:
and mark
name
field as having correct value. While it actually should mark it as invalid (because it contains.com
part, prohibited) and should display correct error message. Like for example:Or something around that.
There's still, of course, an open question, when did they changed their rules (I managed to create an account containg
.com
in name about three months ago) and why do they limit domains prohibited in name to only a certain group (you can use.pl
and probably many more ccTLDs in Twitter name)?
