Does anyone have an idea of why my HTML form does not submit anything? Once I click the submit button it does nothing? No idea what is going on, have checked everything and can't get my head around it? If anyone might have an idea, it would be really helpful, thanks!

I am using a copy of the contact form on my site for the registration form as it looks so much better, maybe this is one of the reasons ?
