Hi dr0ping25,
Can you describe exactly what you see when you attempt to register a new account please?

after i register, i am taken back to the log-in with no error message. logging in with the registered info does nothing. log-in page pops up again. with my old info the log-in page pops up again as well.

Okay, try the following:
Ensure you're visiting silkroadvb5piz3r.onion
Enter a simple username
Enter a simple password (such as 12345 - note: this is ONLY for testing purposes)
Enter the captcha
Are you able to register a new account and stay logged in using those details?

attempted 2x with different info and it did not work.

Okay, can you try the following:
Please ensure that you have installed the latest update for the Tor Browser Bundle.
If that does not work, uninstall Tor completely, then reinstall. Ensure you backup any bookmarks beforehand.
If that still doesn't work, cold boot your computer - shut it down fully, unplug everything, remove the battery (if a laptop) and leave it for 10 - 20 seconds. Plug everything back in, reboot, and try again.
A cold boot (more than just a reboot) can solve a whole host of problems with your computer! I just registered a test account so it is definitely something on your end, most likely an issue with Tor. Follow the steps above and let me know if any of them resolve the issue.

That's very strange...

please to not let it be because i have disabled javascript.

it was a cookie issue.

Ah, the simplest solutions are often the ones we forget to try! Thanks for getting back to us about it, dr0ping25. Regarding cookies though, Tor Browser Bundle does not store them - are you accessing Silk Road and the forums through onion.to by any chance?

Tor do store cookies for a session if you enable them, but they are deleted after you exit tor.

For a session, yes - sorry I didn't clarify this. I presumed the OP had restarted Tor given the instructions I gave above.

I've had problems accessing it as well.

i used a live pre-configured distribution and had the same issue before realizing that i was disabling browser function.
onion.to question almost scared the shit out of me.

not sure if i am edgy from testosterone and misreading this or if there is an issue accessing the tor network from a pre-configured distribution running in ram. maybe everyone is just high and i have been stone sober for too long.

i was taking the piss mate - normally if somethings not working you're not doing something right

ITS THE TEST THEN!
