You're right. That is standard for a text box. But the email field, which is a textarea element looks like a text input field, where pressing enter would normally submit the form.
Skype is generally a good/fast way to communicate - especially when trying to explain something. Certain tasks might not need it, but it's generally the best option in my opinion!
Never really got it off the ground because I realized it was too complex of an idea for a single person. Two-sided marketplaces in general are hard, but especially one that involves coordinating people's time like this.
The issue was with rails' default 255 character limit on strings. Quick change to a text field with no limit fixed things. Small oversights like this truly make me feel like a #NoobNinja :)
Actually, if you wanted to be proper you would use a circumflex or macron over the long vowel, depending on which version of ISO 3602[1] you are following.
Of course, that looks pretentious, especially when typed. ;-)
Sorry to be negative, but I've personally found that people who offer me prizes, money, etc to help others result in my choosing not to. I have people who are willing to pay me real money to help.
But places where I get involved in discussions, I'm willing to offer valuable advice on.
Since this draws a distinction between people who get and receive help, and discourages public discussion, I can't see myself getting involved. Sorry.
A bit over a decade ago, that is exactly how I thought when I signed up for experts exchange to answer Perl questions. At about the same time I signed up for Perlmonks.
A couple of years later I never went to experts exchange, even though they were willing to pay money. Meanwhile I was so active on Perlmonks that I had the highest earned points of anyone on the site.
It turns out that I enjoy teaching exactly because I'm motivated by the interaction. Make the interaction wrong, and I'm never going to show up. OK, I will if you pay enough, but any true expert will have no shortage of people willing to pay more for their time than any junior person can ever hope to afford.
Now granted, I'm an outlier. But this is a critically important problem that needs to be solved in any kind of problem/answer site.

[ 3.3 ms ] story [ 86.3 ms ] threadI tried to fill out the form to get an invite, but when I pressed Enter, the form wasn't sent, instead it added a new line to the input field.
Hope this helps, and excuse me for my English - not my main language :)
EDIT: and btw your English is fine, would never had noticed anything if you didn't say so :P
I'm teasing. I'm sorry, it was too easy and I couldn't let it go.
EDIT: yeah looking at the network requests it's giving an internal server error.
