4-) Not explaining CVV2 simply. Just say what it is and/or have the example image already there instead of people having to click (help)
5-) Not all surfers understand how to submit info. All submit buttons should be specific and say "Click here to join!" or "Click here to submit your info" ... something along those lines.
6-) When it says just 'User Name:' and 'Password:' - It should say 'Choose a User Name:' and 'Choose a Password:' - you might laugh, but I'm sure that confuses some surfers.

Too many developers/sponsors make tours and join pages from their persceptive and they aren't remembering 33% of people are still on dial up, and that most surfers can barely check their email, much less know how everything is supposed to work. I think most sites need to be more newbie user friendly.
