I tried to register 4+ times with a password that included special characters, but each time it said my password didn't match. Once I changed it to an insecure password, it went through. I could have been bad typing on my part 4 times, but... you may want to test this.

Also - It doesn't appear that the profile visibility dropdown gets repopulated after form submission failure with the previously selected option.

Forget the special characters and get more entropy from the sheer length of the password. Now if they restrict that, you have a problem.

(Also use a decent password manager that can remember randomly-generated 30-40 character strings for you.)

I'll check out the password thing, and the profile visibility dropdown error - I got it. I'll fix it. Thank You :)
