I have received the email and entered the confirmation link int toe browser.
Afterwards the site displayed
"welcome
MyRegistrationName@MyEmailAddress.com" (I have replaced my real addres with an example here)
in the top right corner.
I am using Firefox browser ver. 2.0.0.14 on a FreeBSD 6.3 (PC-BSD 1.5.1) with some plugins, like adblock.
For debuging purposes you can just boot the PC-BSD live CD and start browser and try to connect to the

I do not think I have registered as under 18.
I am not able to check. I went to see my profile and it does not display if I registered as over or under 18. This is another suggestion - my profile should enable me to correct my data I have entered during registration. I might want to change my email address, or age
for example.

My suggestions were not criticism I just want to help you to make the best possible site. It might take a while until you can match the choice of the big e-book publishers ;-) , but I see every effort in this direction as extremely important.
A few days ago I have discovered (through a message on this forum) this self-published author:
James Galloway at
http://www.sennadar.com/
and at the moment I am in the middle of the second volume of his 8 volume saga ala The Wheel Of Time. Really great stuff. The first books picks up pace slowly, starting like a generic pulp fantasy, but when you get to the first third of the book you will not be able to put it down.
You might want to contact Mr. Galloway
