User registrion add-on question

  1. So I was reading up on the user registration add-on and I had a quick question. I know that beta 3 is supposed to incorporate multi-site abilities to create a "child site" after a user is registered. This led to some confusion for me however.

    I am wondering if the user registration add on beta 2 already has multi-site implementation. What I mean is a user can register for the "main site" as well as a "child site". Is there a separation in place for that?

    Basically say I have foo.com and then bar.foo.com. A user registers for foo.com, are they already registered for bar.foo.com as well or do they have to register there as well? Also doing the reverse if they register for bar.foo.com will they be registered for foo.com? I am hoping it is separate, but I just wanted to make sure that was the case.

  2. The user is created on the site the form is submitted from.

    In the upcoming Beta 3 when a user registers on foo.com and it is configured to also create them a site they are registered on foo.com AND the new site that is created and they are set as the admin for the new site that is created.

    HOWEVER the users in WordPress multi-site/network mode are stored in the same database table. So they are stored in the same place.

    Currently Gravity Forms only registers users, it doesn't manage user registrations/upgrades. So if the user registers on foo.com and then tries to register on bar.foo.com it's going to say the user already exists because they share the wp_users database table.
