yes I have 2 ideas:
1- you can not do that because "$activatelink" variable is dynamically compiled in email script so it does not have a value assigned in other parts of vbulletin.
2- You should NOT do that either because then everybody can click to it to activate their account. The point of it is to pass it via email so that you can make sure email address is correct. If people can activate their account by clicking a link in the board, it means they can register without using a valid email address so email confirmation become useless anymore.
