OK, I need to eat some crow <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_crow> here. I thought I had fixed the only bug with the text fields being too long, but in fact I had to make the same change in two places. The bug should now be fixed.
If you're interested in what happened: 1. In initial testing, we noticed that there was a bug where large text fields caused registration errors. 2. I fixed a function called _UpdateUserProfile to use the right datastore type <https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/typesandpropertyclasses#TextProperty> instead of the wrong one <https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/datastore/typesandpropertyclasses#StringProperty> . 3. I tested *using the same account*, and it worked fine. 4. I pushed live, looked at our error logs and didn't see anything. 5. You guys complain. 6. I say "We can't see the problem. It must be a problem somewhere else!" 7. More people complain. 8. I check our *warning* logs and see all the errors. 9. I fix the function called _AddUserProfile to use the right datastore type instead of the wrong one. 10. It's now live. 11 (future). I'll make sure it logs an error, not a warning, when this sort of thing happens. I'm sorry for the trouble. Thank you for registering and telling us when you had problems, and I'm sorry not to have been more responsive.
