I changed the order of my "def signup" as follows:

class UserController < ApplicationController

public
  def signup
    return unless request.post?
    @user = User.new(@params[:user])
    @user.save!
    redirect_back_or_default(:controller => 'grapher', :action => 
'index')
    flash[:notice] = "New User Successfully Created"
    rescue ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid
    render :action => 'signup'
   end

.. and now my form page comes up but still get this error message when I 
hit submit:

NoMethodError in UserController#signup
You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]

thanks
