Many people have had outstanding input on how the account request process should work in userbase. So much so that we've taken the time to re-tool the process from the ground up. Instead of just releasing it, and hoping it suits everyone's needs, I'm putting it up on ikon and asking anyone who wants to please visit https://mcs.ikon.mcs.anl.gov/ and request a new account. I'm really interested in things like "I had no idea what {insert field here} field does" or "I didn't understand this page at all" etc. etc. The text attempting to help the user was written by me, on the fly, while coding and debugging etc. so I won't take it personal if what I wrote doesn't make sense. I may call you names, but I'd do that anyway.. It's my hope this is a good "read only friday" project, and rumor has it Jerome is buying beer for anyone who does this, since I normally enlist him in testing front-ends.. (I just started that rumor, btw) Thanks! - Chris P.S. Those of you with stakes in things besides MCS, know that much of this can, and will, be introduced there, based on your input!
