I re-registered on my board to test the registration process, and the activation email that you receive gives you an incorrect password.

Register on my board and you can see exactly what's going on:

I need to be able to confirm email addresses, so this is a problem. Please advise.

jimbo,

Thankfully this problem can easily be solved by changing one character in the "activateemail" template. At the moment, the incorrect line is:

$bburl/member.php?action=activate&username=$username&password&$password

When the user clicks the link, the username is passed to member.php fine, but the password is not because of the "&" instead of "=" in between the two password strings. So, simply change the link in the template to this:

$bburl/member.php?action=activate&username=$username&password=$password

Hope this helps!
