I have every sympatrhy for you, Miata. I thought I'd register myself and see if all was in order - I think you got further than I did! I put in name, Email address and made up a password - to be greeted with 'Invalid Token'. There was no way of going any further.
For heaven's sake, what's that supposed to mean? Sadly, far too many software designers seem to live in another world from you and me - and poor Lucy, a professional lawyer for whom I have great respect, is in this case the one who gets the flak instead of the sub-human species that designs the software. Imagine - someone has actually programmed the words 'invalid token' into a system. Did they ever stop to think about what a customer might make of that? Or how the result would very probably be loss of said customer?
I'd like to ban the word 'activate' from the language. It represents all that I loathe about software - something is supposed to work; it doesn't; and the implication is that we, the customers, are doing something wrong.
Anyway, Miata, do persevere and get in touch with Lucy - you'll find her very helpful.
