I'm adding to this thread rather than starting a new one because my problem is exactly the same. Members not being provided with the correct link for activation. And I will not switch the activation to "none" because I am having problems with a couple of pesky teenagers who will abuse that without a second thought (they did it to me on Pro Boards - that's why I switched away from it).
My forum is
http://temptimelord.7.forumer.com
The link that my members are getting (and this is an example) is;
http://temptimelord.7.forumer.com/?mode=ac...e88d846029a7f83
I would prefer to have the link provided to them as being correct automatically. That's assuming this one is inherently wrong as this thread appears to indicate.
