Email activation is working again.

As the fault occured around the time I installed Accountplus I thought it may have been the cause. I don't know why this happened it maybe something my hosts did but as the site is a subdomain of another dragonfly site that does not use accountplus and whose email activation links continued to work I can't see what would do this.

It may occur with some (inferior) email clients if & is used instead of just plain & - the puzzle is that I thought I had replaced all such instances of & with just &.

The problem has occured again, the email clients were Outlook Express and Outlook 2007 the activation link sends you to a login or register page.

Gmail works fine and confirms your registration

Which file would need checking over to solve this?

Typical of both Outlook products and some others like Eudora.

File is register.php

Replace approx. line 382 to

Code::

$finishlink = getlink("&file=register&activate=$uid&check_num=$check_num", true, true);

Also change approx. line 404 to

Code::

if (!send_mail($mailer_message,$message,1,$subject,$user_email,$username,$from)) {
