Not enough instruction on the landing page. The two login fields are unlabeled, and when I tried to 'register' with my email and a password, it failed. Username cannot be an email, and it should.

Why collect usernames anyway? As if you'd address them as such... It's a worthless bit of info you don't need for user authorization.

Also, any way to display the full sub-lists on the main list page?

The username format thing is a bug, it's fixed now.

You have a point. The thing with email though is some people may be reluctant to give them out. I left it in as an optional field for password recovery, which I have yet to implement. I guess I should leave it out for now.

"The two login fields are unlabeled"

Fixed :)
