Ah nevermind..
its ofcourse because i dosent pass the validation variables to the template when loading the view data..
outcome after a long day and being tired -.-

I tested that(without using template lib) and it worked nicely. Comment out the template lines and just try to use the normal $this->load->view('signup'); and see if that makes a difference.. I really cant find anything else wrong there..
