Can't sign up.  I get "Timeout:: Error in Player#Register".  WinXP w/ IE6 and Firefox 1.07.  I get this error on two separate computers.

Ditto on all counts. Is there a solution for this, or at least an explanation?
I've got the cookie-exception thing set as well.

Some of the websites this relies on are not up. I need to go in and re-code it to rely on something else for geocoding.

Musing: Might it perhaps be enough for now to remove "geocoding" from the registration process, to allow successful registration and logins? That way, the site can develop a "culture of use" among the registrants. The additional location-finding functionality could (presumably) be added later.

Hear, Hear. 

I know I'd appreciate being able to log on and look around, whether or not my address is mappable.

QuoteNoMethodError in Player#register

WARNING:  You have a nil object when you probably didn't expect it!  Odds are you
want an instance of Array instead.

Look in the callstack to see where you're working with an object that could be nil.
Investigate your methods and make sure the object is what you expect!

/lib/freegeo.rb:16:in `lookup'
/app/models/player.rb:63:in `edit'
/app/controllers/player_controller.rb:27:in `register'

This has happened 5 times. What am I doing wrong?

So, hey, I finally fixed FindPlay. It should kick ass for you now, hopefully. Happy Thanksgiving!

Is there anyway to delete a profile?
I created a second when I thought the first attempt had failed.

Also, it still needs more elegant error-handling.

Try entering "Newcastle, UK" - since there is more than one Newcastle, it crashes.

You're right, and it's in serious, serious beta, and hrm.

It works!

Except that putting "San Francisco, CA" throws an exception the first time I try it.  Second time worked like a charm, might have been a server hiccup.

Findplay works again!  However, people don't seem to know as the last time someone logged on, besides me, was about 50 days ago.  I hope they come back . . .
