I keep running into a bug with vB 2.x.x (I have 2.3.0 currenty installed) and if the email that contains the activation link bounces from their email inbox, there is no way to send it again without manually doing so via the control panel.
I want to add it to my error_nopermission_loggedin and error_nopermission_loggedout templates, so I don't keep doing it manually.
I've tried adding this to the template: <a href="register.php?a=act"> but not matter how many attempts I can't get it or alterations of that URL to work.
Could someone here please tell me how I can have this added to the error page?
I've ran across the template named: activateform and it has EXACTLY what I need, but I can't seem to link to it properly from the error pages.
Here is an example of how people get locked out if the first activation link bounces...

Problem:
User changes Email Address via user CP
- System sends email to user informing them of Address Change and sends activation code so they can verify the change.
- User's inbox is full so message bounces
- User's status is in limbo and set to "Awaiting Email Verification"
User is stuck so they click on "Lost My Password"
- System resends lost password verification request
- User clicks on verification link and system sends another email with the NEW password
- User clicks on the link to change the password back to something he can remember
- System blocks him with the error_nopermission screen because he is still set as "Awaiting Email Verification" from the initial email bounce.
So now the user can't ever get in because the activation code was never properly clicked on due to email failure or user error.

TLDR version:
want to add a link to the ERROR page that allows users to manually send their own ACTIVATION link again via email
