I’m trying to create an account at [https://forum.latinxinai.org/login](https://forum.latinxinai.org/login) (to investigate another problem) and though my username, email (that’s now changed), and password appear to be good, and the logs show that rails is returning a 200, the account isn’t getting created.

They are just user custom fields. Any value should work.
