Annoying problem with verification.

Right, for the past 3 or 4 days I've been trying to recover my account, since when I changed my e-mail I've been having some problems with verification. Since then, I've changed the email on my old account and this new one COUNTLESS TIMES, I have about ten million verification e-mails, and it annoyed the hell out of me. Now (prly thanks to Cucumba) my problems are over, and I can login on this new acc. So yeah, you can delete that old one, don't really care about the post count or my history here or whatever, I just wanna post. So anyways, here's the problem, thought I'd give you guys a heads-up if anyone else has the same problem. When you get your verification e-mail, it looks like this:

Verification e-mail said:

Dear user,

Since you have recently changed your email, we require that you verify your new email address. You will only need to visit the url once to have your account updated.

To complete reverification, please visit this url:
http://forum.esforces.com/register.php?a=act&u=xxxxx&i=xxxxxxxx

the x's are replaced with numbers differentiating in each account.

<a href="http://forum.esforces.com/register.php?a=act&u=xxxxx&i=xxxxxxxx">America Online Users Please Visit Here to be Activated</a>

**** Does The Above URL Not Work? ****
If the above url does not work, please use your Web browser to go to:
http://forum.esforces.com/register.php?a=ver

Please to be sure not to add extra spaces. You will need to type in your username and activation number on the page that appears when you visit the url.

Your Username is: username

If you are still having problems verifying please contact a member of our support staff at [email protected]

See, the problem is that the e-mail is outdated. Instead of http://forum.esforces.com/blablabla, it should be http://esforces.com/forum/blablabla, it's very easy to replace the faulty domain, and if you have problems, you can probably bet that the reason is that you clicked the link instead of editing it.

Also, when recovering your password the hyperlinks don't work, since they also still have the faulty domain linked, you'll have to perform the same action with them.

Hope this helps.

Actually that will help, thank you.

There is no re-direction at the moment for forum.esforces.com or forums.esforces.com. So I believe masta has to do something in order for it to stay at forum.esforces.com rather than forwarding it to esforces.com/forum/. So, I could ask him about it to see if he can check it out.

Well dude, when I go to forum.esforces.com, I get forwarded to the current forum index. Same happens whatever I put after forum.esforces.com/ so that makes the current verification links obsolete. That's all I said.

I updated the forum database to send emails with those links, so no need to get masta to change anything.
