'AnonymousUser' object has no attribute '_meta'

[hmswaffles]

Hello!

I've just found the Pinax ecosystem, it looks great. Thank you all for your work.

I've created the 'account' starter project, and when I sign-up for a new account after I click the submit button, I get the following error: 'AnonymousUser' object has no attribute '_meta'. Please help me understand what I am missing, as the traceback seems to be entirely within the Django Code.

Thanks,
Evan
