Dear Jianghui, dear all,
at last it worked! :-) :-)
I managed to register and received an order confirmation eMail.
Thanks and best regards,
Oliver
P.S. Just a minor remark: after completing the registration and payment
process, a "return to registration" button is offered. This links back
to the unsafe (http) page rather than the safe (https) version of the
conference website.
