i don't know if this is a bug or what: after configuring everything, i meam, i created two account types and assigned each a role. ok, now what? i thought that i (as an anonymous user) could go ahead and create an account as usual with the diference that i would get to choose an account type before. in fact i get the "Please select what type of account you would like" but no account types listed, so not only i don't get to use the module, but it actually breaks my registration interface, since i can't continue from there, please some help

ok, there was something wrong in my issue: i claimed that on registration i had the message: "Please select what type of account you would like". i realised that that message is not from account_types but from rolesignup.module, so i deactivated it and now i dont' get that. anyway, dispite that missunderstanding, i still don't get how account_types is suposed to work. the registration prosess is exactly the same as always, so where does the user get to choose which account type he wants to subscribe to?

You are just being lazy. Both the project page and README are clear that this is a user management tool which is used only by administrators. This tool only prevents the accidental assignment of roles to users. For most sites, accidental role assignment is not likely, due to small number of roles, or not critical if done, due to nature of site. For other sites, accidental assignment of a particular role could be very bad. This helps out in that case.

What you are looking for is my registration modification module.

ok, thanks, i just didn't undestand what was the point of creating account types if only the admin would assign them to the user. i'll give a try to the module you pointed out.
