Thanks for thinking with me on this JWait. The "problem" we have is that we are contacted by a lot of companies that want to resell our products besides our usual one-time-purchase customers. Whenever someone contacts us and wants to become a reseller the first thing we ask them to do is to register a new account. So the "Register new account" option should always be visible on the website so I put it in the MyAccount box on our website because existing customers will login there as well to see their special prices.
So, on the main page a new customer who wants an account can click on the link and fill in his details. But, the problem is that on the register.php page the fields for username and password are now hidden by default. This is the result of the changes I made to hide these fields during a normal checkout routine (cart.php?mode=checkout) because then one-time-purchase consumers can just go through the checkout process without even seeing the fields (they can choose to show the fields if they want and setup an account anyway of course).
Another issue we have is that the MyAccount box is something our old customers are used to since we had another shop before this one and it has the same placing of the login. As far as the text goes I will have a look at it but it's not that important for now.
This picture should sum up what I am trying to achieve, maybe I should have posted this right away
