I'm a little confused as well. I went to register and I had an existing account so I reset my password.
Once logged in, I am taken to the WWRug:Home form attendee view. I can't really do anything but look at the contents of the table field listing the existing topics. I don't see how to download a template or submit a topic. Even opening an existing topic results in a permissions error. I'm unsure if there's a problem with my account or my ability to read instructions :) I'd appreciate any help or direction.
