Ok. What worried me is how long the person is taking to validate the link, it has been 24 hours now and they still have not validated their account as it has not shown up as being the newest member yet. Frustrating.

I am thinking of adding the advanced registration mod so anyone wanting to register has to answer a question and thinking about forgetting about e-mail validation altogether. People seem to have so much trouble with it. I probably should create a dummy account to check out how difficult/easy e-mail verification is.

What complicated this problem was the person has an e-mail account with live and I am unable to send messages to live because my IP is only a couple of months old and Microsoft has set up live so that anyone with a new IP can't send mail to live because they are wary of spammers. The whole thing is a headache at the moment, have had a few problems one after the other, worried about managing the forum if it gets any larger. I don't know how the big boards do it.
