I dont know why the margins are squashing everything, ill try and post
my code again this time without the comments
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
extraform = CustomProfileForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
userformInstance = form.save()
extraformedit = extraform.save(commit=False)
extraformedit.user = userformInstance
extraformedit.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
Hope that works a bit better.
