Are we allowed to quibble? šŸ˜‰ When one is registering, the fields for ā€œusernameā€ and ā€œpasswordā€ remain at the top, while the fields for actually registering are a little further down. Now, I doubt anyone would be confused by the extra fields, but do the login fields need to be on the registration page? ---
