I was suprised I couldn't find anything about this when I did a search.

I've had a couple of members have problems with activating their account. THey say when they get their email that says click below, the "link" doesn't work. I know AOL does soemthing weird with links in emails (I've never used AOL so don't know what it is exactly)

Anyway, any help in getting around this problem would be very much appreciated.

Tell them to copy and paste the link in their browser address bar.

it's easier for me to just activate their account manually once i konw they're having a problem....is there a way i can change the text of the registration email to accommodate for AOL users - I'm trying to talk these people into adopting the new system over their old very bad hard to use message board, i'm not doing very well when half of them are having problems even registering...

For AOL users you can add the following into an email which will show a hyperlinked sentence in their browser:

AOL Users <a href="http://link information">Click Here to Complete your Registration</a>

How you would incorporate this in the files is above me though but someone may be able to shed a little light

Talie, try adding the following code in red after line 592 in your register.asp file:

if strEmailVal = "1" then
	strMessage = strMessage & "Please click on the link below to complete your registration." & vbNewline & vbNewLine
	strMessage = strMessage & strForumURL & "register.asp?actkey=" & actkey & vbNewline & vbNewline
	strMessage = strMessage & "AOL Users: <a href=""" & strForumURL & "register.asp?actkey=" & actkey & """>" &_
		     "Click here to complete your registration</a>" & vbNewline & vbNewLine
else

See if that link will work with your AOL users.
