Could you show us the code for the models (leave out any methods you
have added, just the class definition and bits you put at the
beginning of the class.
but if i do "user.groups" it just throws up:
"NoMethodError: undefined method 'groups'.."
Do the users and groups tables exist in the database? If so what
fields do they contain?
Show us the code around the failure and the stack trace please.

Were you running it from the console when it failed, or from code? If
from the console I wonder whether the group model was not loaded or
something along those lines. Perhaps by doing Group.new you loaded it
so all is well. I suggest pressing on with some code (preceded by
writing tests of course) and see how it goes.

Separate issue, but a pet peeve of mine: your e-mail validation regexp
is *incorrect*. It will reject lots of valid e-mail addresses
(including anything with pluscoding). Valid e-mail addresses can take
far more forms than most people realize, so that the only correct e-mail
validation regexps I'm aware of are about a page in length.
With that in mind, then, I recommend not doing this kind of format
checking on e-mail addresses. If you must use a regexp, just use
something like /@.+\./ , or simply forget the regexp and e-mail an
activation code to the address as a means of verifying it.
Best,
