I think this is the right place for this. It looks like a template problem to me. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this?

<a href="$bburl/register.php?a=act&u=$userid&i=$activateid">AOL Users click Here to be Activated</a>

It is coming out like this instead of a link in the activation email.

<a href="http://www.****.org/register.php?a=act&u=133&i=98178718">AOL Users click Here to be Activated</a>

TIA for any help.

The text in the activation email is the problem. It is not appearing as a hyperlink for AOL users. Instead it looks like this.

<a href="http://www.***.org/register.php?a=act&u=133&i=98178718">AOL Users click Here to be Activated</a>

I have not changed anything on the template. Any idea what I need to change on the template to create the hyperlink for AOL users in the activation email?

I am also wondering why AOL users need a different hyperlink. Is it a browser difference?

Thanks

Its due to the fact that vb doesn't put a domain in the email, AOL filters out domainless emails thru it's filters.
