Filling In All Fields
As a requirement, when a user signs a petition, their username and email address is required (comments are optional). Therefore, when one of these fields are left blank, the following message will be outputted:

Please fill all required fields

This is not a problem, all users have to do, is click the back button in their browser to add the required information. Any comments they made should still be there, and should not be lost.

Choosing A Topic
When installing your petition, you will be asked to write a topic about what users are actually signing the petition for. Your petition cannot be signed until a topic is made, and once it is made, it cannot be edited.
