New Dev Accounts not working?

Anyone tried creating a new Dev instance from http://www.salesforce.com/developer ?  Last week, if I used my real email address and a new login address, it definitely didn't work, but at least with the username the same as the login name it worked.

Now, regardless of the settings, I never receive the Welcome email from Salesforce with the temporary password.

Anyone else having trouble?

new dev accounts are on NA5, which is currently having issues. Sign-up is async, so you should get the emails/account eventually.

Hi Nick,

On this same topic, I've had trouble over the last two weeks of requesting a Dev account in which I've used my real email address in the email address field, but a different value in the Username field, which has worked for me in the past.  Obviously it's very handy not to have to create an email address in this manner.

Anyway, this hasn't worked for me since I've tried three or four times in the last two weeks.  However, if I use the same value in the Email field as well as the Username field, the new Dev account is created as expected.

Which form are you filling out?

Here's a link to the form...

This is launched from http://www.salesforce.com/developer/ when you click the button along the left side labeled "developer.force.com / Get a Free Developer Edition Account"

Here's the target URL:

Mike, I just tried it without any issues.  Here's a screenshot of how I entered my data.  Are you sure you didn't flip email and username?

Hi Nick,

Well I've just tried it again (twice) and for whatever reason it's still not working for me. (Yes, I'm definitely putting the right value in the right field.)

I've been monitoring my company's inbound email messages and I don't think the Welcome message ever arrived.

Hmm, very puzzling.

Is the problem that you're not receiving an email?  No other errors on the form signup?  Can you forward me a username that you used in the signup process?  Private msg is fine.
