Signup Error

Hey, so when I was signing up for an account I noticed this:

If you do something wrong, like choosing a username that has already been taken or forgot to agree to the agreement thing, you get an error message. That's cool. But if you use the back button of the browser (I used Firefox) to go back, correct your mistakes, and then submit again there's a "you do not have the permission to do that" error. I finally realized that I need to start from scratch (the main page) to get it working.

Yeah, the site's still in beta, so I'm cool with that, but it seems weird and I just want someone to know about it, in case it's a bigger problem than what I noticed. =)

Comixpedia.org is not a beta

Comixpedia.org is not a beta site. Comixpedia.org's contents are alway work in progress forever. But it defintely is finished as a website. About the bug you experienced, I don't know if it is done by design or it a bug. If it is a bug, you can file a bug report on the mediawiki project.

Kiba's right - currently Comixpedia.org is running on the most current version of mediawiki so if you're having an issue it must be a bug in the software. Are you still getting that problem?
