My view code is fairly minimal, but I suspect it is where the bug lies:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
<form>
Email address: <input type="text" name="email" /><br />
Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" /><br />
Confirm password: <input type="password" name="re_pwd" /><br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
Do I need to kinda specify the error message here as well? Thanks again.
