Hi Torley

Was unable to create an account using Konqueror 3.5 on Linux, didnt seem to matter what I did the form would not accept anything I entered for the security image text. Had to abandon and switch to firefox.

I tried to link my paypal information to my account during sign up to get the 250 L$ bonus, but paypal decided i was to suffer random account verification. Upshot is my account was created without any payment information, so I lost out on the 250 L$ through no fault of my own :(

I signed into my account, added my paypal (which now went though ok), then tried to buy a few USD worth of L$ - Unable to complete transaction because an error occured. Change to a different payment source for my paypal account, tried again, failed.

Put credit card in an bought some L$ without a hitch.

I would like the signup page fixing for users of Konqueror on Linux - its a popular browser thats supplied as standard with the KDE desktop.

Paypal is a nightmare :(

Im not bothered about the 250 L$

Sorry to hear of the problems you had, Layla. :( Unfortunately I have heard (but haven't seen firsthand) that the signup page isn't fully compatible with Opera, Konqueror, and some other browsers which aren't Internet Explorer or Firefox.

About your Paypal issues, if something got lost that you should infact have, please contact our billing dept. via Support to have it looked into further.

Can you please be sure to send a step-by-step bug report from inworld about Konqueror not working with the signup? Also see Bug Reporting 101.

Take care.
