Stepes Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey, just wanted to point out that the confirmation mail is problematic. I used my yahoo mail so maybe it is only a yahoo problem? But in any case, the link that arrived to the mail for confirmation was the following:http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?app=core&module=global§ion=register&do=auto_validate&uid=76970&aid=c55e499102e73430d281e63dd6820284As you can see in the part I painted red there is a strange symbol. Replacing it by: global§ion I managed to register but I guess not everyone who wants to register can find that out (I found it out by googling half the link). Both links in the mail had the problem.Best greetings,S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted December 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2012 Stepes, I just opened a new account and the link was fine in the email I received via Hotmail. I also checked and we do not seem to have any other new members with a problem validating. Other members with your email provider have also confirmed as recently as November, so I think it must be you! Welcome anyway.

Stepes Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Might be related to the new yahoo interface which was introduced around this month or that it's the german yahoo. Well, doesn't matter then Thanks for checking anyway, I solved the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted December 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted December 18, 2012 Stepes,I will keep an eye out for any other yahoo.de members who get stuck at the validation stage. But I hope you noticed that there is a separate validation method in the email if the link is corrupted, so I am fairly certain that no-one will be completely cut off. But thanks for pointing it out. And as you have wasted a few of your initial 5 posts telling us abotu the problem, I have lifted the restriction for you.

Stepes Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Haha, thanks for the restriction lift But as I said in the first post, both links have the same "damage" which means that the other validation method doesn't work either. I noticed though that in yahoo you can select your character encoding so this might possibly have to do with the problem. Anyways doesn't matter.

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) jchd,We have no "naughty word" filters set - but the forum does seem to act funny with certain "words". I would guess that this particular problem is caused by the user's email provider. I created a new account when this first came up and HotMail gave me a "normal" uncorrupted registration e-mail. I raised the matter with Jon and after checking he told me that it is not at our end. But seeing that we now have a second case, I will post an announcement to help anyone else who has the problem.

jchd Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Not a second did I suspect the culprit was at this end. That would be really weird!

guiguy Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I did an experiment (my company is using the Lotus Notes version 8.5 mailer) sending email to myself.If I copy/paste the corrupted link into a message, and then another copy which I manually corrected, the corrupted one still comes through corrupted and the corrected one comes through correct.But the bizarre thing is, if I use the "Copy into new message" feature, the corrupted links show up correctly (in the edit mode, before emailing)!And they show up correct after emailing.Weird.I think BrewManNH is correct, special characters should be quoted (&) in the URL. -- guiguy -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
