I don't know whether this is a usability issue or not. But, I really don't like the extra long input text area:

This issue is quite critical on acquiring new users. A good read on designing sign up form.

Few more usability comments related to sign up:

"Login" should be "Username" (username is used on the login form)

"Name" should be "Full Name" or dropped altogether

Log me in when I register, there's no reason to have me retype my details
