Working through a ‘register/login with verify’ script to make it work for my setup, and it does! Unfortunately, the email asking me to verify my form details doesn’t have a clickable link, just a url that I can copy/paste and get into the page. I get this in a Yahoo Mail account and a Hotmail account but not with gmail! Yahoo and Microsoft have somehow 'stripped' the ability from a link to be clicked.
Like I said, this works, even if it means copying and pasting the plain text into a browser to continue verification. But it would be great if I could have a link show up in all email clients.
Can someone inform me as to what to do to get the link in the email to appear in link form so I can maybe turn it into a button?!
